LiqTech International has received supplier approval for its Water Treatment System (WTS) for WinGD 2-stroke dual-fuel engines in gas- and diesel- mode.
Headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, WinGD is a leading global marine engine manufacturer advancing the decarbonisation of marine transportation through sustainable energy systems using advanced technologies in emissions reduction, fuel efficiency, hybridisation and digital optimisation.
LiqTech's innovative and advanced membrane technology is one of the keys to a clean and sustainable shipping industry.
This unique technology allows efficient filtration, making the reuse of 80-95% of the feed water possible.
Based on more than 20 years of experience in the filtration industry and more than 170 marine water treatment systems installed worldwide, LiqTech's systems' main element is its patented modern silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes. Further, its innovative modular design makes installing the marine scrubber wastewater system on retrofits and new builds easy, with the ability to further increase capacity after installation if needed.
Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech International, commented: "I am pleased we have received supplier approval of our innovative water treatment systems for use with the WinGD dual-fuel engines. This approval allows us to seamlessly deliver systems to WinGD, its licensees, and authorised service partners. As one of the market share leaders in marine engines worldwide, we look forward to working with WinGD and their partners to advance the decarbonisation of marine transportation."
The marine shipping industry is moving towards cleaner fuel applications, with most new vessels equipped with dual-fuel engines that require reliable water treatment for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. According to Clarkson Shipping Intelligence and Ship Engine Company's published data, approximately 400 new vessels are on order with EGR solutions planned between 2024 and 2027.
LiqTech holds a market share greater than 20% for marine scrubbers, including hybrid and closed-loop systems. Since their introduction seven years ago, LiqTech's marine water treatment systems have benefitted from a strong reputation, demonstrating superior efficiency and reliability.
