Valmet will begin deliveries of the scrubber system this year. The deliveries will include tailor-made hybrid systems for main and generator engines, including auxiliary systems and automation.
The latest order is expected to further strengthen the company’s position as a scrubber supplier for passenger and cargo vessels.
Valmet Marine Scrubber Systems senior manager Anssi Mäkelä said: “We are proud to provide our technology to the Asian market. Our scrubber system will ensure a sustainable and reliable exhaust gas cleaning for the ships.”
Using seawater, the exhaust gas is washed in open-loop mode and with recirculated water and alkali in closed-loop mode.
