Membrane Absorption Solution Chemistry:
NaOH
Scrubbing:
SO2 + 2NaOH → Na2SO3 +H2O (sodium sulfite)
Na2SO3 + 1/2 O2 → Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate)
Regeneration equations:
Na2SO4 + H2O → 2NaOH +H2SO4 (electrolysis)
KOH:
Scrubbing:
SO2 + 2KOH → K2SO3 +H2O (potassium sulfite)
K2SO3 + 1/2 O2 → K2SO4 (potassium sulfate)
Regeneration:
K2SO4 + H2O → 2KOH +H2SO4 (electrolysis)

● Eliminate Spraying Water in the Exhaust
● Eliminate Having to Clean the Wash Water
● Eliminate Dumping it Overboard
Traditional scrubber towers spray the absorption
solution - typically sea water or sodium hydroxide
(NaOH) - directly into the exhaust path.
The sulphur captured from the exhaust is
converted to suhphuric acid in the wash water, is
diluted, (Open Loop) and disposed of overboard.
Or converted to sulphites (Closed loop) and
discharged overboard.
The oils and particulate matter (PAH and
Turbidity) must be cleaned from the wash water
and stored as sludge to be disposed of ashore

No fresh water required
No effluent overboard
Sodium salts collected
and disposed of ashore

Membrane Scrubber is modular - no need to run piping through engine
room spacings, casings and back down to overboard discharges
Self contained in the
casing the
Membrane Scrubber 10m
has a much smaller
footprint than closed
or open loop systems
Closed and open loop scrubber
require 100’s m of pipe, wiring,
passing through multiple
decks, requiring large amounts
of fresh water or even greater
amounts of seawater.
