Danish pump producer Svanehøj has launched its newly developed environmentally pleasant 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 profitable check in collaboration with the Swedish transport company Furetank on the P&C tanker Fure Ven. The 18,000 DWT vessel was inbuilt 2019 as considered one of Furetank’s V-Series, a model new era of climate-smart P&C tankers.
Svanehøj’s system makes it faster, easier, and more efficient to function electric cargo pumps. It ensures an optimal changeover between tanks and pumps in parallel, reducing the time needed for cargo discharge by as much as 20% as a outcome of the system will routinely function on the optimum responsibility level. It allows the operator to take full management of the pumps, simplifying the complete cargo discharge operation without installing any further hardware.
Simple is among the first vessels at Furetank to have electric cargo pumps put in. The company has recorded a 25% reduction in power and gasoline consumption in relation to cargo discharge operations compared to vessels in the fleet which have hydraulic pumps.
