Alfa Laval PureSOx is a marine SOx scrubber system, which allow the continued use of HFO while meeting the emission limits for operation in ECAs.
The PureSOx H2O cleaning unit features a high-speed centrifugal separator. Developed over the course of several years, it removes the soot from the circulation water in closed-loop mode. The unit is completely unaffected by pitch and roll, which sets it apart from other cleaning systems. It has a footprint of just 6 m2 and a modular construction based on three flexibly placed skids.
Patent
A process for cleaning scrubber water with high-speed centrifugal separator technology as part of Alfa Laval´s PureSOx exhaust gas cleaning system has now been patented. The patented technology is of the utmost importance to secure compliance in either hybrid or closed loop mode. The technology offers a solution for ports in Belgium and Germany in particular, where open loop scrubbers are not allowed.
