Did you know

Scanjet, a brand now under Alfa Laval, has been a supplier of marine tank venting equipment for over 50 years. Alfa Laval acquired Scanjet in Q3 2022, integrating their tank management solutions into Alfa Laval's marine offerings.
Within Alfa Laval's broader valve portfolio, the Scanjet Pressure-Vacuum (PV) Valves are specifically designed for marine tank venting, distinguishing them from other Alfa Laval valves like the Unique RV-P regulating valves used in hygienic processing or the various safety and relief valves for general pressure control in pipelines and vessels.
The Scanjet high-velocity PV valve is designed to minimize VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) loss and ensure non-oscillating performance, contributing to efficient cargo conservation and reduced emissions. Its design, featuring a dual-disc arrangement and a patented combination of magnetic force and air braking, allows for stable operation and low maintenance.

Model	Primary Function	Key Feature	Compliance
Alfa Laval (Scanjet) High-Velocity PV Valve	Ongoing pressure control and VOC management in cargo tanks	Patented magnet power and air brakes for non-oscillating behavior; dual-disc arrangement for thermal fluctuations and full-flow loading.	IMO Circ. 677, Rev. 1; ISO 15364:2021; ISO 16852:2016
Alfa Laval (Scanjet) In-Line P/V Valve Type FPS	Automatic pressure and vacuum control in cargo tanks and inert gas (I.G.) mains	Automatic weight-loaded mechanism for dynamic response to pressure changes; in-line installation.	Not specified in search results
Alfa Laval PV Breaker	Last resort safety device for excessive pressure or vacuum conditions in cargo tanks	Activates when PV valves cannot maintain pressure within accepted tolerances, equalizing pressure by admitting or releasing air.	Mandated by IMO regulations
