Get future-proof competitiveness with LPG

The environmental performance of LPG and global availability makes it an attractive future marine fuel. In many places, LPG is already a preferred fueling solution.

Svanehøj is the global leading supplier for the LPG segment with years and years of experience. As the only manufacturer, we can supply all pumps for LPG cargo and fuel systems.

The patented DW fuel pump ensures not only significant CO2-reductions and reliable efficiency, but also allows you to switch to LNG, ammonia, and methanol, providing much-needed flexibility in times where the fuel for the future is still anybody’s guess.

Case

Supplying all pumps for gas handling on LPG carriers made the singular difference

The patented high-pressure fuel pump makes Svanehøj the only manufacturer on the market who can supply all pumps for LPG cargo and fuel systems.

As a result, Svanehøj was preferred provider to deliver fuel-, cargo- and booster pumps for two Very Large Gas Carriers (VLGC), setting a new standard within compatible, future-proof solution.

The benefits of an LPG-fueled solution with Svanehøj

Compatible with all liquified fuel types

The DW fuel pump is designed to support LPG but also other all other fuel gas types such as LNG, methanol and ammonia.
Up to 20% CO2 reduction

The unique design and effective technology of the DW fuel pump enables CO2 reductions by up to 15%.
Suppresses NOx and SOx

Switching to LPG-fuel reduces NOx emissions by up to 20% and eliminates up to 99% of SOx particles
Safe and cost-effective design

By placing all sensitive components outside the tank, you are guaranteed much safer operations and less maintenance costs (25.000 hour/5-year service intervals).

Powering valuable solutions from one end to the other

LPG is significantly cleaner than fossil fuels

The maritime industry needs to improve its carbon footprints – especially its emissions to air. In an ideal world all vessels and carriers would operate on carbon-free fuels from tomorrow, but this is not possible by a long stretch.

While we need to undertake this transition, replacing traditional fossil fuels altogether, LNG is for the time being among the best alternatives fuels for the maritime industry.

Switching to LNG provides significant advantages, by meeting increasing regulatory requirements, offering enhanced competitiveness, and last but not least reduction of CO2-emissions and other harmful pollutants.
