Danish pump manufacturer Svanehøj has launched its newly developed environmentally friendly Flow Control system, which automates the control of electric cargo pumps on tankers.
The launch of the newly developed software-based management system follows a successful test in collaboration with the Swedish delivery company Furetank on the P&C tanker Fure Ven. The 18,000 DWT vessel was built in 2019 as one of Furetank’s V-Series, a model new generation of climate-smart P&C tankers.
Svanehøj’s system makes it quicker, simpler, and more efficient to function electrical cargo pumps. It ensures an optimum changeover between tanks and pumps in parallel, decreasing the time needed for cargo discharge by as much as 20% as a end result of the system will automatically operate on the optimum obligation point. It allows the operator to take full control of the pumps, simplifying the entire cargo discharge operation without putting in any further hardware.
Fure Ven is among the first vessels at Furetank to have electric cargo pumps installed. เกจวัดแรงดัน has recorded a 25% reduction in energy and gasoline consumption in relation to cargo discharge operations compared to vessels in the fleet which have hydraulic pumps.
