Restoring performance after a long period without use

If your Alfa Laval PureBallast system has been inactive for 12 months or more, it may no longer perform as expected. In the worst case, it may have developed faults that can lead to damage at start-up. Recommissioning is recommended to prevent costly incidents and ensure performance according to type approval.

Based on the results of the status check, we perform any needed corrections, adjustments, updates or optimizing
