Why upgrade to Alfa Laval PureBallast 3?
After our BWMS equipment failed, we became aware of the shortcomings in the aftermarket support and service provided by our previous supplier. We needed a more reliable and responsive partner, which is why we chose Alfa Laval and their PureBallast 3.”
We realized that upgrading our BWMS to meet USCG regulations would cost us a fortune. So, we switched to PureBallast 3 – it’s cost-efficient and meets all necessary regulations."
Our last BWMS system was constantly malfunctioning and causing delays in our operations. Switching to Alfa Laval's reliable PureBallast 3 system has let us focus on our business."
When our old BWMS supplier left the market, we were left with no support and nowhere to turn. Alfa Laval's global presence and reputation gave us the assurance we needed to make the switch to PureBallast 3."
Our previous system didn’t have USCG type approval, leaving us with limited operational flexibility. Alfa Laval's PureBallast 3 system not only has USCG type approval but also meets the most stringent environmental regulations."
