SMDERI-QET's Ammonia Fuel Supply System Obtains DNV AiP


Release time :

2025-10-20

The Ammonia Fuel Supply System (AFSS), independently developed by SMDERI-QET, a subsidiary of CSSC, has recently received Approval in Principle (AiP) from DNV. The integrated system covers both high-pressure and low-pressure ammonia fuel supply lines and incorporates key components such as an ammonia reliquefaction and ammonia treatment unit, establishing a complete framework for ammonia fuel conditioning and safety control.

Widely recognized as one of the most promising alternative fuels for the green and low-carbon transition of the shipping industry, ammonia fuel—and its core equipment,AFSS—has attracted extensive industry attention. Leveraging extensive experience in the development of clean fuel systems, SMDERI-QET has achieved breakthroughs in key technologies including ammonia bunkering, fuel delivery, ammonia recovery, and safety protection. The company has successfully developed a series of core equipment covering both low-pressure gas supply and high-pressure liquid supply systems, and can provide clients with integrated solutions capable of adapting to all operational conditions. To date, the low-pressure ammonia fuel supply system has undergone joint testing with an ammonia-fueled engine independently developed by Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research lnstitute (SMDERI), accumulating over 600 hours of stable operation—fully demonstrating the reliability of the technology. SMDERI-QET’s self-developed AFSS exhibits strong scenario adaptability, meeting the diverse needs of various users and ship types.

 

Moving forward, SMDERI-QET will continue to lead industrial development through technological innovation, driving green marine tech from research to application through iterative upgrades. The company aims to provide global clients with comprehensive solutions spanning from the “fuel end” to the “exhaust end,” addressing synergistic reduction of greenhouse gases and pollutants in shipping, and jointly accelerating the green and low-carbon transition of the maritime industry.
