In a significant stride towards greener seas, LiqTech International has just scored a major win, securing supplier approval for its Water Treatment System (WTS) to work seamlessly with WinGD’s 2-stroke dual-fuel engines. This isn’t just a stamp of approval; it’s a green light for LiqTech to dive headfirst into the burgeoning market of sustainable marine transportation.
The approval opens up a world of possibilities for LiqTech, allowing them to supply their innovative systems to WinGD, its licensees, and authorized service partners. With WinGD being a heavyweight in the marine engine market, this partnership could be a game-changer. The shipping industry is already steering towards cleaner fuel applications, and dual-fuel engines are becoming the norm. According to industry data, around 400 new vessels are set to be equipped with EGR solutions between 2024 and 2027. That’s a massive opportunity for LiqTech to make waves in the market.
LiqTech’s technology is no ordinary filtration system. It’s a powerhouse of efficiency, capable of reusing 80-95% of feed water. This isn’t just about saving water; it’s about reducing the environmental footprint of the shipping industry. The secret sauce? LiqTech’s patented silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes. These aren’t your average membranes; they’re designed to tackle the toughest purification challenges. Plus, the modular design makes installation a breeze, whether it’s a retrofit or a new build. And if capacity needs to be boosted later, LiqTech’s got that covered too.
Fei Chen, LiqTech’s CEO, is understandably thrilled. “This approval allows us to seamlessly deliver systems to WinGD, its licensees, and authorized service partners,” Chen said. “As one of the market share leaders in marine engines worldwide, we look forward to working with WinGD and their partners to advance the decarbonization of marine transportation.” This isn’t just about business; it’s about making a difference.
The approval could spark a ripple effect in the industry. With LiqTech’s strong reputation and proven track record, other engine manufacturers might start taking notice. This could lead to more partnerships, more innovation, and ultimately, a cleaner, more sustainable shipping industry. The future of maritime transportation is looking greener, and LiqTech is right at the helm, steering the ship towards a more sustainable horizon.
