LEWA, headquarted in Germany, with worldwide sales, supplies high-pressure diaphragm pumps for LPG, methanol and ammonia in fuel gas supply systems on ships.
For a second year LEWA returns as a sponsor to the Propulsion and Future Fuels Conference, this year taking place from 25-27 November in Hamburg.
LEWA recognises that the shipping industry plays a crucial role in global trade, but also contributes to harmful emissions such as CO2, nitrogen oxides and sulphur oxides. In addition to LNG, methanol and LPG, ammonia is becoming increasingly important as an alternative fuel. All enable cleaner and more efficient combustion than the previously used heavy fuel oil. Modern and efficient dual-fuel 2-stroke marine diesel engines require the precise and safe injection of these alternative marine fuels. LEWA triplex diaphragm pumps are specifically designed for this purpose.
The LEWA triplex diaphragm pump offers many advantages as a fuel pump for alternative fuels in marine engines including compact design, hermetically tight, integrated condition monitoring, excellent, easy and swift control of flow rate, unlimited dry-run safety, robust and durable design with minimal downtime/maintenance times, universally applicable: other fuels can be pumped without modification (flex-fuel ready) and worldwide support / service and spare parts on site.
“With the transition towards alternative fuels like ammonia, the shipping industry can significantly reduce harmful emissions. LEWA’s hermetically tight and fail-safe diaphragm pumps play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient handling of this promising fuel under extreme conditions.” Thomas Bökenbrink, Lead Product Manager Pumps.
Established in 1952, LEWA has seen remarkable expansion, with 14 subsidiaries and over 100 sales partners across the globe. The LEWA team exceeds 1,200 employees, with 600 based in Leonberg, Germany.
