Optimize GPHE performance across your fleet
Join Alfa Laval’s hands-on Technical Insights Workshop and gain practical, marine-specific expertise to optimize your gasketed plate heat exchangers (GPHEs).
Each session is tailored to your operational reality - whether you operate dredgers in extreme environments or manage commercial vessels across diverse applications. Learn how to improve uptime, efficiency, and reliability at sea - directly from Alfa Laval experts.
September 22 | GPHE Workshop Focus: Dredgers
Dredgers operate under continuous load, often in sediment-heavy waters that put extreme stress on heat exchanger systems. This workshop is designed specifically for dredging companies, shipyards designing and building dredgers, and technical teams operating in highly demanding and abrasive environments.
You’ll learn how to:
- Combat erosion, fouling, and scaling from sediment-laden environments
- Maintain consistent thermal performance under fluctuating loads
- Reduce unplanned downtime in continuous-duty operations
- Extend equipment lifetime in harsh marine conditions
- Apply maintenance strategies tailored to dredging realities
October 1 | GPHE Workshop Focus: All vessels
This workshop is tailored for operators and technical teams working across various commercial vessel types, including cargo ships, offshore vessels and support ships.
You’ll learn how to:
- Optimize GPHE performance across diverse marine applications
- Improve fuel efficiency through better heat transfer
- Prevent failures with structured maintenance approaches
- Ensure compliance with marine safety and environmental standards
- Reduce operational costs through smarter system management
