Smit Gas Combustion
The Alfa Laval Smit Combustion system is a low-pressure, combustion-based system for producing inert gas on tankers. Using the unique Ultramizing® system, it produces soot-free inert gas with an oxygen content of 2-4%, even when operating below stoichiometric conditions. To save fuel, it can also be upgraded with the Alfa Laval Automatic Fuel Efficiency Module (AFEM). The Smit Combustion system can produce 1000–20,000 m3/h at a pressure of 0.15 or 0.25 bar(g).
Vital safety and efficiency for tankers
- Protect against offloading delays with a problem-free supply of inert gas – whenever needed
- Produce soot-free exhaust gas, eliminating the risk of extra cleaning, rejections and costly penalties
- Upgrade with the Automatic Fuel Efficiency Module (AFEM) to achieve maximum fuel efficiency
- Rely on our 24/7 Service & Support, providing worldwide access to service and spare parts
Alfa Laval Smit solutions represent over 60 years of experience with inert gas. The Smit Combustion system is our main inert gas solution for the tanker market, designed for total reliability.
Reasons to choose the Smit Combustion system
The proven features of the Smit Combustion system ensure both high-quality inert gas and reliable operation over time.
Fuel-saving AFEM optionAvailable as an upgrade, Alfa Laval Automatic Fuel Efficiency Module (AFEM) does away with manual combustion adjustment. By matching the amount of fuel and combustion air to the current demand, it can reduce the Smit Combustion system’s already low fuel consumption by up to 40%. |
Ultramizing combustion systemThe special burners of the Ultramizing system create an even and controlled flame. This means low NOx emissions and completely soot-free inert gas. |
Crystal-free sprayThe sprayers of the Smit Combustion system avoid the creation of salt crystals from evaporating water. |
Robust constructionDurable marine materials and best-quality components let the Smit Combustion system withstand continuous exposure to high temperatures and seawater. |
Containerized versionAlfa Laval Portinert is a containerized version of the Smit Combustion system. Engineered for easy transport, placement and connection, it can be lifted in wherever and whenever needed – such as in an emergency.
