PureSOx scrubber system
In view of the implementation of the MARPOL ANNEX VI regulations, coming into force in 2015, the applicable Sulphur limit at Emissions Controlled Areas (ECA) will be reduced to 0.1%. While the worldwide Sulphur limit is to be reduced at 0.5%, effective from 1st of January 2020.
ALFA LAVAL has expanded their product portfolio by launching the PureSOx scrubber system, providing to ship-owners the benefit to continue operating on heavy fuel oil (HFO) instead of the considerably more expensive marine gas oil (MGO), while still meeting with IMO strict SOx emissions regulations.
With over 40 years experience in supplying scrubber as an integrated part of inert gas systems PureSox “hybrid” system has been designed so as to accommodate operation in open sea (S.W. mode) and/or closed-loop operation (F.W. mode) whenever zero-discharge is required by port-authorities or sea-water alkalinity is not sufficient.
The world’s largest Scrubber installation, effected in 2009 on board the Ficaria Seaways, has already evidenced PureSOx capability to cope with low-alkalinity waters (i.e. Baltic) at minimized energy consumption pattern, achieving lowest operability cost along with smooth and trouble-free operation.
