IPCO Power was available at this years Seatrade Cruise Global in Fort Lauderdale. On the exhibition we have introduced new clients the Fuel Treatment solutions from IPCO Power. Also we spoke to the project managers involved in the scrubber project from Carnival Corp to evaluate the performance of the Water Fuel Emulsion systems.
During October 4th and October 10th 2016 several vessels of Princess Cruises were commissioned. Each vessel was installed with IPCO Power's Water Fuel Emulsion System to reduce they emissions as pre treatment for the scrubber system. With the system the vessels will also achieve a 2% fuel saving. On each vessel the systems the systems were commissioned with the same procedure. After the commissioning the crew involved the necesarry training to operate the system. The following vessels were commissioned: Between October 4th and October 6th 2016 the Island Princess On October 8th 2016 the Royal Princess On October 9th 2016 the Caribbean Princess On October 10th 2016 the Coral Princess The water fuel emulsion systems on board the Carnival Triumph and Carnival Fantasy are both in operation. The systems will assist the on board scrubber systems in reducing the NOx, PM and soot emissions. Also a fuel saving of approximately 2% is achieved. IPCO Power will be available at the Possidonia in Athens between June 6th and 10th. IPCO Power will be available at the booth of Palmarine (Hellas). Hall 1, Booth No.1.521 We are looking forward to welcome you all! IPCO Power congrats the Holland America Line with it's Green Gateway and Technology Innovator award. The Port of Seattle presented Holland America Line with its sixth consecutive Green Gateway Award. The Port of Seattle also presented Seattle’s hometown cruise line with the Technology Innovator award. It is nice to see that IPCO Power BV is mentioned in the official press release: Holland America Line also received the Technology Innovator award for investing in its Seattle-based fleet that has resulted in year-over-year reductions in fuel use and resultant greenhouse gases. Port of Seattle also cited the cruise line’s installation of IPCO Power Fuel Treatment systems that are designed to enhance combustion, lower emissions, improve fuel economy, extend engine overhaul intervals and lower overall operating costs.

The order is to supply sludge reduction and combustion improvement system for MV Lara. With this new order already 10 vessels from the fleet of Byzantine have been equipped with the systems from IPCO Power. IPCO Power have supplied it's sludge reduction device the FID Reducer and the fuel conditioning system the FID Recycler to the Mauritanian Copper Mine. The Mauritanian Copper Mine is part of First Quantum Minerals. The systems will be used to operate without any issues on wider range of fuel qualities. Between Bonaire and Aruba the water in fuel systems on board P&O Azura have been commissioned. With the commissioning the fifth vessel from the fleet of Carnival UK is now equipped with IPCO Power's water in fuel system. Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria, P&O Arcadia and P&O Aurora were already up and running. In port Bonaire also the Carnival Pride with IPCO Power's FID Injector installed was at the pier.
Last week the WFE systems on board Star Princess have been commissioned. The systems were installed as part of the ongoing scrubber project from Carnival.
Between April 22th in Barcelona and April 24th Nice the water in fuel emulsion systems on board HAL Nieuw Amsterdam were commissioned. The systems installed as pre treatment for the scrubber system on board. The water in fuel system (FID Injector) on board Costa Fascinosa is up and running. The commissioning took place between Tangers and Valencia. In Tangers the vessel was in port together with the Rotterdam from Holland America Line. The Rotterdam was the first installed vessel from IPCO Power's water in fuel systems. The FID Injector on board P&O Aurora is commissioned in Amsterdam. The FID Injector is installed to reduce the fuel consumption and to assist the newly installed scrubber system in reducing the emissions. Mid December, 2014 A/S Shell Denmark called IPCO Power for assistance in treating 35.000 m3 of highly H2S polluted sea water. During the loading of this polluted sea water into a sea going vessel the concentration of H2S and mercaptanes was so extremely high that conventional means to treat the released vapor coming out of the vessel where not sufficient.
With the deployment of the ECOSCRUB, scrubber solution, IPCO Power and the Nature Group managed the treat the vapor in a combined effort and reduced the concentration with more that 98%. The vessel was loaded at an average pump rate of 800 m3/hour. The operation was performed within 48 hours. The ECOSCUB scrubber solution is the best available technique to cope with these type of air pollutions mainly caused during the transloading of Heavy Fuel Oil, bitumen and other products where high air emission of H2S and sulphur components are released or as in this particular case, polluted sea water. Water in fuel systems on Carnival Pride, Carnival Elation and Carnival Ecstasy up and running26/11/2014
Last week the service team from IPCO Power BV commissioned the Water in Fuel Emulsion systems (FID Injector) on board of the Carnival Pride, Carnival Elation and Carnival Ecstasy. The systems are installed to reduce the fuel consumption and to assist the newly installed scrubbers in reducing the PM emissions. |
