Project shows scrubbers could play a role in carbon capture at sea

Alfa Laval and Japan’s National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) have been testing onboard carbon capture and storage using an exhaust gas cleaning system.

The CO2 capture testing project was designed to provide real-world validation of results achieved in the lab. As it required a proven, full-scale hybrid scrubber system, Alfa Laval PureSOx played an important role in the test. The Japanese shipowner associated with the research, who had installed PureSOx for SOx compliance on a newbuild,...

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...

New PureSOx Water Cleaning System Provides Future-Proof And Cost-Saving Flexibility For Scrubbing In Closed Loop

New-PureSOx-Water-Cleaning-System-Provides-Future-Proof_

Alfa Laval PureSOx gives customers the option of scrubbing in closed loop, either by choosing a fully equipped hybrid system or by installing a hybrid-ready system that can be upgraded for closed-loop operation later. With the launch of a modular new PureSOx water cleaning system (WCS), these possibilities become even more attractive.
