Alfa Laval has signed an agreement to acquire NRG Marine, a provider of ultrasonic anti-fouling solutions for marine, oil and gas, and industrial applications, headquartered in the United Kingdom.
Closing of the acquisition is expected during Q2, 2025.
"By incorporating NRG Marine’s cutting-edge ultrasonic technology into its portfolio, Alfa Laval aims to offer an innovative solution for anti-fouling with significant operational and environmental benefits for marine, oil and gas, and other industrial markets," said Alfa Laval in a statement.
NRG Marine's proactive anti-fouling technology utilises ultrasonic microscopic bubbles that implode, creating agitation that disrupts the surface environment. This agitation passively cleans the surface, reducing fouling, scaling, sludge, and deposits on critical components.
"The system can be installed on any ship type, whether newbuild or existing, and requires no drydocking or through-hull fittings, minimising installation time and associated costs," added Alfa Laval.
"Operating continuously, even when a vessel is stationary, this non-invasive method eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and frequent cleaning, offering a sustainable and cost-effective solution to maintain vessel cleanliness and efficiency."
