2024年6月3日 · Denmark is the first country around the Baltic Sea to ban the discharge of scrubber water from ships. Starting July 1, 2025, ships will no longer be allowed to release untreated scrubber water in Denmark’s economic zone. This decision is praised as an important step towards a sustainable marine environment.

2024年9月27日 · Ship scrubbers come in two types: closed-loop and open-loop. Closed-loop scrubbers store the resulting sludgy, sulfurous mix in a tank that must be emptied at port. Open-loop scrubbers dump that slurry straight into the sea.

2024年5月7日 · Discharge from ships with so-called scrubbers cause great damage to the Baltic Sea. A new study shows that these emissions caused pollution corresponding to socio-economic costs of more than...

2020年7月23日 · Most scrubbers installed on vessels are wet scrubbers and use ‘open loop’ or ‘closed loop’ systems. Open-loop systems, also referred to as seawater scrubbing technology, dominate the market. In these systems, the exhaust gases are sprayed with seawater at a high flow rate, and the SO x in the exhaust gas is trapped and converted to ...

2023年5月24日 · Fouling pressure in the Baltic Sea is low, therefore lower release rates (<5 μg) are sufficient to prevent marine organisms from attaching and growing on the hull. Another strategy to mitigate pollution would be to restrict scrubbers to closed-loop mode.

4 天之前 · The North Sea and Baltic Sea are among the emission control areas, for example. ... where it is chemically or physically treated and disposed of in the next port (closed loop system). Next to these two wet processes, dry scrubber systems can be employed. ... KSB has even designed a complete product portfolio for the scrubber technology. Many ...

2024年11月15日 · Denmark is set to ban the discharge of scrubber water from ships in its territorial waters starting July 1, 2025. The new law, introduced in the Danish Parliament, aims to address marine pollution caused by harmful substances released during ship exhaust cleaning.

2024年4月12日 · The ban on vessels with open-loop scrubbers up to 22 km from Denmark’s coasts will take effect on 1 July 2025. The scrubbers became widespread after more stringent sulphur regulations were introduced in the North and Baltic Sea waters in 2015, particularly after worldwide sulphur regulations were back into force in 2020.

2022年12月30日 · The use of open loop scrubbers on ships was identified as a major source of vanadium and anthracene to the Baltic Sea. Switching to closed loop mode could reduce the loads of most PAHs and metals with up to 90%.

2019年8月1日 · Discharged scrubber washwater may impact water quality in the Baltic Sea. In 2020, the global cap of maximum allowable sulphur content in marine fuel will be reduced from the current 3.5% to 0.5%.
