With a sterling reputation in the marine industry as a pioneer in the provision of pumping solutions, Denmark based DESMI looks forward into the second half of 2023, with a clear focus on installing more Ballast Water Treatment Systems (BWTS) on vessels and a renewed emphasis on energy-saving solutions, reflecting its commitment to meet the industry’s evolving needs while mitigating its environmental footprint.
“From supplying engine room pumps to developing firefighting systems, BWTS and energy-saving solutions like OPTISAVE, DESMI has consistently evolved to meet the dynamic needs of its clientele.” says Ricky Frampton, General Manager, DESMI, “and our recent addition, the re-launched cargo pumps, underlines our commitment to continuous innovation.”
Over the past decade, DESMI has been serving marine and offshore customers in the Middle East, providing a broad spectrum of solutions with a strong focus on aftersales service, retrofits, repairs, and technical support.
Customer-centricity
A testament to DESMI’s success is its adherence and response to industry regulations, and dedication to understanding customer needs: “Our recently developed Ballast Water Treatment System (BWTS) “CompactClean” demonstrates this commitment perfectly. More than 2000 CompactClean systems have been sold worldwide, underscoring our system’s reliability and efficiency.”
Frampton explains that DESMI’s approach is rooted in customer-centricity, investing significant time engaging with ship owners, management companies, shipyards, and system providers.
“This hands-on approach is instrumental in developing products that cater to our customers’ needs, as demonstrated by the success of CompactClean. It is simple to install and operate, and guarantees high reliability and quality traits that reflect our DNA in pump technology.”
OPTISAVE
And while navigating the challenges of EEXI and CII regulations, DESMI has introduced OPTISAVE, an energy and fuel-saving system. This innovative technology utilizes Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to optimize the performance of onboard electrical equipment like pumps and fans.
Frampton elaborates: “With more than 700 successful references, OPTISAVE has not only increased operational efficiency but also helped reduce CO2 emissions, a significant step towards reducing owner’s carbon footprint and their sustainability.”
Designed for cryogenic operations with superior efficiency and improved suction capability, the liquefied gas cargo pumps will contribute positively to the vessels’ Energy Efficiency index calculation and reduce the time spent on discharge operation.
