Pros & Cons open loop system Advantages of the Open Loop System The process requires no hazardous chemicals, seawater is the only scrubbing agent. The system has fewer components than other wet systems. Disadvantages of the Open Loop System Operation in brackish or fresh water or in high water temperatures can inhibit scrubbing of SO x. The discharge of effluent with acid ph may be restricted in some regions, therefore it may require a switchover to low sulphur fuel or an alternative scrubbing system.
Closed Loop Scrubber (wet system) Scrubbed Exhaust Gas Exhaust Gas Pump Control Water / Exhaust Gas Monitoring Pump (Optional) Fresh Water Control Cabinet NaOH Holding Tank (Optional) Tank Water Treatment Sludge Tank
Pros & Cons closed loop system Advantages of the Closed Loop System The system can operate in all regions regardless of seawater alkalinity or temperature. Effluent can be stored on board until a possibility of discharging in the next harbour can be used. Disadvantages of the Closed Loop System The system has more components than an open loop system. The system requires a constant supply of sodium hydroxide solution, a hazardous substance requiring special handling, care and cost. In addition, the use of caustic soda chemicals increase the effort to gain regulatory approval.
Hybrid Scrubber (wet system) Scrubbed Exhaust Gas Pump (Optional) Exhaust Gas Pump Control Water / Exhaust Gas Monitoring Close Loop Open Loop Control Cabinet Fresh Water NaOH Water Treatment Tank Sludge Tank
Pros & Cons hybrid system Advantages of the Hybrid System The system can operate in all regions regardless of seawater alkalinity or temperature. Disadvantages of the Hybrid System The system requires the most components of any wet option. Highest price of wet systems.
Dry System Flow Chart.jpg Granulate
Pros & Cons dry system Advantages of the dry system include the following: The system does not produce any liquid effluent for overboard discharge. The system can reduce NO x emissions. Temperature stays constant Possibility to install a SCR after the Scrubber Possibility to use more residual heat Disadvantages of the dry system include the following: The ship must have suitable storage and handling arrangements to accommodate the dry bulk reactants and products, as well as a reliable supply of materials. Increased costs from use of calcium hydroxide for SO x abatement. Size and weight of the scrubber.
