The steam condensate recovery system is a crucial component of a ship’s steam system that significantly improves overall energy efficiency. Condensate, or condensed steam, can be reused in many different ways, for example: As heated feed water, by returning hot condensate back to the boiler’s deaerator As pre-heat source, for …
A drilling mud treatment system, also known as a drilling fluid system, is designed to circulate drilling fluid (mud) through the wellbore during drilling operations. The system serves multiple critical functions, including cooling and lubricating the drill bit, removing drill cuttings from the wellbore, controlling formation pressures, and maintaining wellbore …
A drilling mud cooling system or mud cooler is a critical piece of equipment in offshore drilling operations, designed to maintain optimal temperature of the drilling fluid (mud) circulating through the wellbore. The drilling mud cooling system plays a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness of offshore …
A low grade marine Waste Heat Recovery Unit is a system designed to capture and convert low-grade waste heat from ship engines into usable electrical power. It uses an organic working fluid with a lower boiling point than water, allowing it to operate efficiently at lower temperatures compared to traditional …
In an era where environmental consciousness meets economic pragmatism, the maritime industry stands at a crucial crossroads. Every year, the global shipping industry consumes approximately 300 million tonnes of fuel, contributing to both operational costs and environmental concerns. What many vessel operators don’t realize is that up to 30% of …
Vacuum-based waste collection systems are used onboard ships to efficiently manage and transport sewage and other wastewater to treatment facilities. It is recognized as a highly efficient and environmentally friendly solution for managing different types of residues onboard ships. By using vacuum pressure to transport waste, this system offers significant …
The marine industry is undergoing a transformative shift driven by digitalization, with data analysis at the forefront of this evolution.

Data analysis leverages this information to …
Digital Twin technology has emerged as a transformative tool in the marine and oil & gas industries, revolutionizing asset management, operational efficiency, and decision-making. A Digital Twin is a virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system, continuously updated with real-time data and integrated with advanced analytics, machine learning, …
The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is a critical tool in improving a ship’s energy efficiency and reducing its carbon footprint. It is a requirement under the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) regulations, specifically as part of the amendments to MARPOL Annex VI. The SEEMP …
Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), commonly known as scrubbers, are designed to reduce the emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter from ship exhaust gases. These systems are critical for ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations, such as the IMO 2020 sulfur cap, which limits the sulfur content in …
