Hybrid Scrubber System
Brief Definition of
Alfa Laval Hybrid Scrubber System
Alfa Laval Provides Hybrid scrubber
system which has the flexibility to operate
in both open and closed loop using
seawater to remove sulphur contents
from the exhaust. This provides a
flexibility of operation in low alkaline
waters, as well as the open sea.
When at sea the switch can be made to
open loop using only seawater. The
sulphur oxides in the exhaust react with
the sea water to form sulphuric acid. The
sea water will neutralise the acid.
When required to switch to closed loop at
port fresh water is boosted using caustic
soda (NaOH) as a buffer, passes through
the water cleansing unit where the sludge
is collected in a built in sludge tank and
clean fresh water circulated with zero
discharge.
