Size: Varies based on vessel type, typically ranging from compact units for small ships to large systems for tankers and cargo ships.
Grade: Compliant with IMO 2020 sulfur cap regulations, capable of reducing sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions by up to 98%.
Viscosity: Not directly applicable; scrubbers handle exhaust gases, not liquids, though washwater treatment may involve viscosity considerations.
Buoyancy: Not applicable; systems are installed onboard vessels and do not require buoyancy properties.
Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel (316L), duplex steel, or fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) for durability in marine environments.
Emission Control: Reduces SOx, particulate matter (PM), and some systems also target nitrogen oxides (NOx) via hybrid or multi-pollutant configurations.
Flow Rate: Scrubber water flow varies (e.g., 30-50 m³/MWh for open-loop systems) depending on design and vessel power.
pH Control: Washwater pH typically maintained between 6.5-9.5 to meet discharge regulations.
Temperature Resistance: Designed to withstand exhaust gas temperatures up to 300-450°C (572-842°F).
Pressure Drop: Typically 100-300 Pa (open-loop) to 1,000-2,500 Pa (closed-loop) depending on scrubber type.
