Custom designed heat systems from Heatmaster

Using an abundant, if toxic, resource to power the maritime fleet.	A mature future fuel already in use - but will it become dominant?	Numerous NGOs protested against the IMO earlier this year putting biofuels in its Global Fuel Standard, but the “fuel versus food” debate seems to have been solved by deriving fuels from waste.	Technically the cleanest possible fuel source available to the maritime world and one that has the longest history, dating back to the 1950s. Why is it not in common, non-military use?	LNG is currently the most popular lower carbon fuel, but with bio and e-LNG it could move beyond its current transition fuel status supported by extensive existing infrastructure.

More recently the electrification of maritime transport has seen exponential growth.

Electrical heaters can be used when the vessels are “cold ironing” or when they are for example battery powered. Big Wind Turbine Installation Vessels ( WTIV ) and service vessels are good examples. The WTIV for Penta Ocean is currently under construction at Seatrium in Singapore, using Heatmaster hot water system with 2,8MW of heat recovery and 2,8MW electrical heating.

Introducing our cutting-edge Gas Combustion Unit (GCU), engineered to handle any gas composition.

Ultra-Wide Fuel Range:
Burns every mixture between 100% N2 up to 100% CH4.
High Capacity:
Delivers up to 1 ,000kg/h of BOG - ideal for LNG Bunkering vessels.
Low Exhaust Output Temperature:
Advanced heat recovery and combustion technology minimize exhaust temperatures, compliant with the VR X notations of class.

Our Gas Combustion Unit is not just powerful-it’s smart, adaptable, and built for the future.

In addition, Heatmaster is still playing a crucial role in the LNG bunkering sector by supplying their Gas Combustion Unit (GCU) solution to LNG bunkering vessels. The GCU is essential for maintaining the proper pressure in LNG cargo tanks, ensuring safe and efficient operations.

The United LNG 1 is the most recent inland LNG Bunkering vessel using the Heatmaster GCU solution.

Heatmaster’s GCU technology is another example of its commitment to providing solutions that improve safety, efficiency and sustainability in the maritime industry.

“We see continued growth in the LNG Bunkering market, by far exceeding the other alternative fuels. The Heatmaster GCU has been the preferred choice of leading bunkering operators for years,” said Pieter Borg, CCO of Heatmaster BV.

For Heatmaster though, the innovation doesn’t stop at basic heating systems.

Heatmaster’s advanced heat recovery and system design solutions, expertly integrate ORC technology and innovative exhaust gas heat recovery methods.

Leveraging both your data and our expert guidance enables us to rapidly evaluate possible improvements.

One of Heatmaster’s standout technologies is its Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) heat recovery system.

ORC captures waste heat from the vessel and converts it into usable power, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. This not only helps shipowners save on operating costs but also significantly lowers their environmental impact by reducing CO2 emissions.
