Danish pump manufacturer Svanehøj has launched its newly developed environmentally pleasant Flow Control system, which automates the management of electric cargo pumps on tankers.
The launch of the newly developed software-based control system follows a profitable test in collaboration with the Swedish delivery company Furetank on the P&C tanker Fure Ven. The 18,000 DWT vessel was in-built 2019 as one of Furetank’s V-Series, a model new technology of climate-smart P&C tankers.
Svanehøj’s system makes it faster, easier, and extra environment friendly to operate electrical cargo pumps. It ensures an optimum changeover between tanks and pumps in parallel, reducing the time needed for cargo discharge by as much as 20% because the system will routinely operate on the optimum obligation point. ที่วัดแรงดันน้ำ permits the operator to take full control of the pumps, simplifying the whole cargo discharge operation with out installing any additional hardware.
Fure Ven is among the first vessels at Furetank to have electric cargo pumps put in. The firm has recorded a 25% reduction in power and gasoline consumption in relation to cargo discharge operations compared to vessels within the fleet which have hydraulic pumps.
