W E M A K E I T E A S Y FOR S HIP OWNE R S The VDL AEC Maritime scrubbing system
Most scrubbers are complex, use filters and require lots of energy. Not ours. A VDL AEC has been approved and certified.
Maritime scrubbing system works with any engine. It’s cost effective, fuel efficient and easy
to use. Your crew can learn to operate it in a few hours training session. VDL AEC Maritime is a scrubbing
specialist. Our experience includes

Open tower
Our scrubber has an open structure, no rotating components or filters and because of our
patented design we guarantee an optimal reaction between exhaust gas and seawater.
Reduction of SOx and PM
Compliant to the latest IMO standards and reduces SOx and Particular matters (PM) efficiently.

A VDL AEC Maritime scrubber is always tailor-made. The size depends of the maximum
capacity of your engine(s), keeping the lowest energy consumption and lowest back pressure
in mind. If space is limited, we can adjust the scrubber size.
O PER AT I O N
From the bottom of the scrubber, exhaust gases are led through the scrubber to the top,
perfect divided and at the exact right speed. The process water is fed into the top of the
scrubber through nozzles of a single nozzle ring. This results in an equally divided spray.
Three processes take place in the open tower structure
1. Cooling
Exhaust gases are cooled until the optimal temperature is reached.
2. Removal of particles
Almost all particles are removed because of the varied droplet size when they travel from top
to bottom.
3. Removal of the Sulphur
The Sulphur in the exhaust gases dissolves in the process water and binds as a salt. The clean
exhaust gases exit the scrubber, removed from Sulphur and particles, through a demister.
