Aalborg OC-TCi
The Alfa Laval Aalborg OC-TCi is a marine composite boiler for producing steam through combustion and/or waste heat recovery. With its high efficiency and its ability to reclaim thermal energy, it can help reduce environmental impact. Ready for the fuel transition, the OC-TCi can use oils, biofuels and one alternative fuel of your choice. Additionally, it can be configured as an electric hybrid. These options can be implemented directly, or the boiler can be prepared for their installation later
Self-cleaning composite boiler with multi-fuel and hybrid options
- Produce 1200–6500 kg/h of steam with the boiler’s oil-fired side and 300–5000 kg/h with its exhaust gas side
- Recover waste heat from up to three connected sources for a positive impact on carbon footprint
- Maintain efficiency and save fuel with the boiler’s self-cleaning TCi (Turbo Clean, intelligent) technology
- Advance decarbonization by configuring for your choice of alternative fuels
- Take advantage of shore power or surplus electricity on board through hybrid operation
Effectively self-cleaning, the Aalborg OC-TCi is a future-proof choice that lets you transition to LNG, methanol or ammonia – whenever the time is right for you. Hybrid and hybrid-ready options add to its flexible configuration.
Features
Multi-fuel capabilities
The Aalborg OC-TCi supports multiple decarbonization strategies. Built on a fuel-flexible boiler platform, it can operate on oils and biofuels – and be configured for an additional alternative: LNG, methanol or ammonia.*

Hybrid operation with electricity
As well as supporting multiple fuels, the Aalborg OC-TCi can be configured as a hybrid boiler for electric operation. This lets you cut direct emissions by taking advantage of shore power or surplus electricity on board.
Future-proof conversion options
If you aren’t ready for an alternative fuel or hybrid capability today, the Aalborg OC-TCi can still be prepared. New boilers can be delivered multi-fuel-ready and/or hybrid-ready, making later conversion easy and cost-efficient.
Integrated waste heat recovery
The exhaust gas section of the Aalborg OC-TCi produces steam through waste heat recovery, which reduces fuel costs and emissions. One unit can serve up to three engines, saving space compared to standalone economizers.
Self-cleaning boiler technology
The Aalborg OC-TCi features TCi (Turbo Clean, intelligent) self-cleaning technology, which keeps the boiler running efficiently and prolongs its service life. The TCI cleaning process is automatic, but it can also be initiated manually.
LNG safety options
When using LNG, the Aalborg OC-TCi can take on additional functions. The boiler can safely combust boil-off gas (BOG) or free flow from the LNG tank, as well as the mix of inert gas and methane created before and after tank inspection.

Aalborg boiler solutions for LNG as fuel
Alfa Laval Aalborg dual-fuel boilers are more than an efficient solution for your steam and hot water needs. Able to handle both free flow and methane mixed with inert gas, they provide safe, effective ways to manage boil-off gas (BOG) and simplify operations connected with tank inspection.
Marine equipment and solutions for methanol as fuel
Built on a century of thermal expertise, Alfa Laval Aalborg boilers are prepared to run on methanol, thanks to our future-proof MultiFlame burner concept. Adding to our already extensive combustion knowledge, we are now conducting large-scale methanol testing at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre.
Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre
As the marine industry decarbonizes, reliability is paramount in any fuel-related equipment. Alfa Laval ensures reliability with new fuels by combining long experience and deep fuel insights with extensive testing at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre. The facility’s unique 2800 m2 testing space plays a key role in many fuel research projects.
