Alfa Laval has signed an agreement to acquire NRG Marine, a provider of ultrasonic anti-fouling systems headquartered in the UK.
The move is part of Alfa Laval’s strategy to expand its environmental system and operational efficiency offerings, with the acquisition expected to close during Q2 2025.
NRG Marine’s 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.
The system operates continuously, even when a vessel is stationary, and can be installed on any ship type, whether newbuild or existing, requiring no drydocking or through-hull fittings.
