Clean Marine has been selected by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea[ds_preview] to supply exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) for a Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) being built for Dorian LPG. The order will enable the new Dorian LPG vessel to comply with future legislation relating to sulphur emissions without switching to more expensive fuels. According to Nils Høy-Petersen, CEO of Clean Marine, the contract signals a growing market demand. Dorian LPG has offices in the USA, UK and Greece and owns and operates three modern VLGCs and one pressurized LPG vessel. In addition, Dorian LPG has ordered three fuel-efficient VLGC newbuildings from Hyundai Heavy Industries with deliveries in 2014 and holds an option for three additional eco VLGCs. These vessels are designed with the highest fuel efficiency available and will be among the first VLGCs with ME-G type engines to enter the worldwide fleet.
Clean Marine has developed an EGCS based on the Advanced Vortex Chamber technology that provides a high particulate matter trapping efficiency. The system’s integrated fan and gas recirculation technology also allows the one EGCS unit to simultaneously serve several combustion units
