Yara Marine Ramps Up Scrubber Services Despite COVID Heavily Affecting Scrubber Market

Yara Marine Technologies reaches all-time high service and after sales numbers in January and February despite coronavirus heavily affecting the scrubber market

Yara Marine Technologies is expanding its green tech portfolio. However, the company, which was the first to launch the in-line scrubber, will still have scrubbers as a core product in years to come. As warranties end, ship-owners now find their way back to the supplier for service. Service agreements are the preferred choice amongst most clients.

We experienced a sharp increase in after-sales, especially in long-term service agreements, as the warranty on several installations ended. January...

Wärtsilä Highlights Potential For Technological Advances To Enable Scrubbers To Tackle CO2 Emissions

pollution

Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment highlights the potential for exhaust gas abatement systems to directly tackle maritime carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the near future, as technology advances and enables manufacturers to design and upgrade scrubbers to capture carbon at the point of exhaust.
Wärtsilä has conducted extensive research and development to explore how Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be developed and scaled in maritime. Initial findings show that CCS on ships is technically viable...

New Alfa Laval PureSOx Express Offers Easy Access To SOx Scrubber Advantages

For smaller vessels like handymax bulkers or product tankers, the cost of installing a scrubber for SOx compliance has sometimes outweighed the benefits. Now Alfa Laval PureSOx Express makes it simple for these vessels to continue using HFO and comply with SOx regulations.

The new PureSOx Express is an open-loop PureSOx system, but one delivered as a fully enclosed module. Adapted for a simple and cost-efficient fit on smaller vessels, it reduces the investment cost, engineering time and...

Case Study: SOx Scrubber Overboard Discharge Incidents

SOx scrubber overboard discharge incidents

SOx scrubbers are one of the compliance options for ships to meet the IMO global sulphur cap for 2020. But we are still on a learning curve for ship-based applications of this technology.

On one vessel, a hole in the piece of piping between the SOx scrubber overboard valve and the ship’s hull (the spool piece) led to a large quantity of seawater entering the engine room.

With considerable difficulty the crew eventually managed to stop the water ingress and limit the consequences. During the...
