Better awareness with accurate scrubber control and monitoring

Open-loop, closed-loop and hybrid SOx scrubber control and monitoring

The control and monitoring of SOx scrubbers can easily be connected to the main automation system of the vessel, Valmet DNA. System integration means a common user interface, making the operator’s work quicker and easier.

Scrubber information easily available

Built on the Valmet DNA platform, a single automated scrubber control and monitoring system connects all scrubber-related data into one system.

The scrubber control system is operated via user interface displays. Displays can be installed where needed, for example, in the engine control room or in the casing near the scrubber towers.

Information based on regulations

Valmet’s scrubber control system facilitates reporting for regulatory purposes. For MEPC 259(68) Scheme B, exhaust gas and discharge water are continuously monitored with a continuous emissions monitoring system (CEMS) to confirm compliance with regulations.

The combination of the scrubber and automation makes my work easier. Emissions are easily visible on the Valmet DNA screens. And they are clearly below the limits."

Scrubbing to cleaner seas

Although the question of scrubbers has been at the forefront of the marine industry for a number of years, it seems that shipowners and shipyards are only now waking up to the fact that they are in a hurry to act before 2020 when the new SOx regulations come into effect. Everyone has been waiting – holding back – while the debate has been raging: scrubbers or no scrubbers at all?

2020 is coming. Are you ready?

With the new SOx regulations coming into effect soon, shipowners and shipyards are starting to wake up. The industry has been playing a waiting game before deciding how to comply with the new standards, whether to use marine diesel oil with low sulphur content, LNG or scrubbers.
