Innovative Flue Gas Treatment for Maritime SOx Emission Reduction
In use for more than 30 years, SOLVAir® is the chosen flue gas cleaning solution for more than 500 customers worldwide. Our team extended its portfolio to adapt this well-proven land solution to vessels in response to IMO regulations for reducing SOx emissions on ships.
SOLVAir® Marine offers an innovative dry exhaust gas treatment system that complies with IMO 2020 and other even more stringent regulations. The dry system removes more than 99% of SOx and particles, doesn’t release wastewater back to the sea and features quick installation without dry docking. Its sustainable qualities aid in reducing pollutant emissions, bringing new hope to the marine industry.

How our sulphur oxides removal scrubber system for marine environment works?
SOLVAir® dry Scrubber brings many advantages compared to wet scrubbers
Comparable SOx reduction rate
Higher particle removal rate (> 99 %)
No dry docking required for installation and combination with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) DeNOX possible
Lower CAPEX and OPEX. Example: less internal power consumption (no pumps for washing water)
Low sensitivity to failure : negligible effect on backpressure to the engine
Smaller effort for maintenance and operation due to simplicity of the process and the neutrality of the sorbent
No effluent released to the sea
Residues treatment on land facilitated
