With experience from over a decade of work with SOx scrubbers and exhaust gas cleaning, Alfa Laval has put together informative resources to help in your decision process.
“Staying ahead in SOx compliance” takes a deep look at emissions compliance legislation and the reasons for choosing a SOx scrubber. In addition, it explores the choices on the market and the key considerations when selecting a scrubber supplier. With illustrations, diagrams and tables, it provides both a clear overview and important insights. To order a printed copy or download the PDF, fill out the form below.
The documents and studies below offer more information, not only about PureSOx specifically, but also about SOx scrubbers in general and the issues involved in making a selection
Alfa Laval provides complete documentation specific to shipyard needs. The shipyard documentation is divided into: - Advice for the specific vessel - PureSOx Design Guide for engineering, P&IDs and equipment drawings - PureSOx Installation Manual To obtain shipyard documentation or more information, please contact Alfa Laval.
An Alfa Laval PureSOx scrubber system can be configured in three different operating arrangements: open-loop, closed-loop or a combination of these two, hybrid.
Un depurador híbrido utiliza los dos modos: de bucle cerrado y de bucle abierto. El funcionamiento en bucle abierto reduce los costes siempre que es posible, aunque se puede cambiar fácilmente al bucle cerrado si necesita cumplir con leyes locales de vertido de aguas.
En un depurador de bucle cerrado, el agua recibe una dosis de aditivo alcalino y se recircula. El agua de circulación sucia, se limpia, descarga y repone para que el depurador no pierda capacidad. Este tipo de depurador se puede utilizar en cualquier momento y lugar, pero su coste de funcionamiento es mayor que el de bucle abierto.
Un depurador de bucle abierto utiliza agua de mar para limpiar el gas de escape. El agua que pasa por PureSOx se vuelve a verter al mar cumpliendo con todas las normas vigentes. Esta configuración es la más económica en cuanto a coste de inversión y de funcionamiento, pero puede verse limitada por las normas locales de vertidos o de baja alcalinidad del agua.

Alfa Laval is at the forefront of marine scrubber technology, thanks to hundreds of successful installations over the past decade. PureSOx is continuously being developed, both at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre and on board.
PureSOx applies Alfa Laval’s core technologies of fluid handling, heat transfer and separation. Centrifugal separators are especially important for a closed-loop or hybrid scrubber system, where it is needed to ensure compliant cleaning of the circulation water.
Much of the ongoing development of Alfa Laval PureSOx occurs at the Alfa Laval Test & Training Centre, a unique research facility located in Aalborg, Demark. The centre is a full-size machine room on land, with complete process lines integrated around a 2 MW marine diesel engine.
The PureSOx scrubber installed here can be pushed to its limits under controlled conditions, which accelerates both the speed and quality of testing. Learn more about our Test & Training Centre here
