Ships gas scrubber

for shipyardsSOx reduction

Flue gas Scrubbers are important components in both- Industry and maritime. As a result of fossil fuels burning, dangerous SOx (Sulphur Oxides) compounds will break away that can cause environmental pollution in the atmosphere and even acid rains Scrubbers are used to wash these dangerous compounds out from the exhaust gases Maritime pollution is regulated by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). In addition to the 0.1% sulphur limit in the North American, US Caribbean, North Sea and Baltic Emission Control Areas (SECA), the IMO has decided that the global fuel sulphur limit of 0.5% should enter into force in 2020. After the revised global Sulphur limit up to 70 000 ships must change the current configuration of power source and one option is to clean the exhaust gases using a scrubber Estanc produces the steel part for the scrubbers after our client’s designs. The steelpart contains of different and rare alloys what makes the equipment an important part of the whole system. Scrubbers come together from the shell- the vessel- and from the inner parts. Inner parts are pipings, gratings, trays and grids Estanc AS is one of the region most experienced and biggest Scrubber steel component manufacturer. Although most of the scrubbers look like ordinary tanks then what makes them special and complex are the detail internals and demanding materials. Internal pipelines, gratings, trays and grids need to be installed closely and accurately together what requires certain installation orders and experienced assemblers. Most of the production is handcraft work as assemblies are unique and large, used materials are special alloys that require the best welders on the market
