Scrubbers Corrosion

Substandard Scrubber Materials!, Warns Yara Marine

Scrubber manufacturer Yara Marine has stressed the importance of using quality materials to build exhaust gas cleaning systems, reports Ship&Bunker.

Similar comment from CSA 2020

The comments follow a similar message recently made by scrubber advocate group Clean Shipping Alliance 2020 (CSA2020). 

The comment is after the circulation of footage showing an engine room being flooded due to a scrubber malfunction, although this was played down by vessel owner Oldendorff.

[Answer] How To Achieve the Ideal Quality for Scrubber Corrosion Resistance?

In the previous scrubber corrosion updates we provided insights on various issues related to corrosion and how can they be monitored and mitigated as put forward by a Norshipping guidance. This is the penultimate update concerning the scrubber corrosion issues and here we are highlighting the how shippers and scrubber manufacturers can achieve the ideal quality for corrosion resistance as put forward by Norshipping.

Scrubber Insurers Says ‘A Lot More Details Needed’ To Establish Malfunction Cause

Marine insurers are investigating at least two separate incidents involving scrubbers, one of which has been described as “catastrophic”, amid growing concern regarding the extra risks associated with exhaust gas cleaning systems, reports Lloyd’s List.

But indeed are scrubbers risky or is it just a minor hazard like all other equipment. That’s what the insurers are tried  to find out last month. Here’s a glimpse what they understood and suspect.

[Answer] How To Identify Scrubber Corrosion Issues & Challenges?

In the last scrubbers corrosion update we gave you insights on scrubbers material selection and how it can effect corrosion as given in the Norshipping 2019 Official Release. From that time to now, much has changed with IMO addressing scrubber malfunctions in their latest guidelines but the problem largely remains unchartered.

So, here’s a detailed insight on the various scrubber corrosion issues that can occur.

Corrosion Challenges

The primary corrosion challenges include:

[Answer] How Scrubbers’ Material Selection Effects Corrosion?

In the first segment of the scrubbers corrosion issue, we discussed how corrosion occurred and what are the basic steps of prevention as outlined by Norshipping 2019 Press Release. Now, we are discussing how different corrosion occurs and how the scrubbers material selection accelerates this process as illustrated by the Norshipping press release.

How different types of corrosion happens?

Primarily there are 3 different types of scrubbers corrosion – uniform, pitting and crevice.
