How PureteQ’s Maritime Turbo Scrubber Works
PureteQ's gas scrubber technology consists of three stages, a turbo quench that cools the gas, a scrubber unit and a droplet separator.

PureteQ is an engineering company that specialises in the development, installation, start-up and commissioning of patented high-tech process plants.
The Denmark-based company solves environmental problems for its customers in the offshore and maritime industries.
PureteQ install systems to transform liquid hazaradous waste and industrial by-products into sustainable, clean energy.
The company also constructs technologies to reduce and eliminate combustion and incineration-related issues, such as systems for the treatment of flue gas, exhaust gas and process water, as well as heat recovery systems for flue gas emissions.
The maritime industry is changing with new requirements relating to energy efficiency and environmental protection coming in to effect.
PureteQ’s patented, high-tech maritime scrubber system can reduce sulphur emissions from shipping and other flue gas emissions to comply with new requirements relating to energy efficiency and environmental protection.
The PureteQ Maritime Turbo Scrubber is a high-tech, composite scrubber system for the purification of flue gas from maritime engines and boilers. Hydrodynamic fluid distribution ensures optimal absorption of sulphuric acid and particles.
The company has developed, manufactured and patented an entirely new scrubber system for the purification of flue gas.
With its hydrodynamic fluid distribution system, the PureteQ Maritime Turbo Scrubber outperforms most traditional scrubber systems in terms of weight, efficiency and built-in options.
A specially designed turbo quench allows for rapid and efficient cooling of gas prior to sulphur oxides (SOx) removal, while the temperature is reduced by more than 75% in less than 0.3s.
New legislation, which comes into force from 1 January 2015, requires all ships in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region to use fuels with no more than 0.1% sulphur content, or use alternative methods to achieve the same effect of SOx emissions.
PureteQ Maritime Turbo Scrubber technology is a commercially attractive alternative to costly low-sulphur content distillates and complies with IMO and EU emissions legislation.
The PureteQ Maritime Turbo Scrubber works in three stages:
Benefits of the PureteQ Maritime Turbo Scrubber include:
PureteQ is part of the Dansk Synergi A/S conglomerate, with headquarters, production facilities and a testing centre in Svendborg, Denmark.
PureteQ's gas scrubber technology consists of three stages, a turbo quench that cools the gas, a scrubber unit and a droplet separator.
The Breakaway Plus ships are two new passenger cruise ships being constructed by Meyer Werft, for Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL).
With headquarters and production facilities located in Svendborg, Denmark, and a sales office in Hamburg, Germany, PureteQ is now ready with a patented and tested wet scrubber solution. Since its installation aboard the Bornholm passenger ferry, Hammerodde, in May of this year, PureteQ's Maritime Turbo Scrubber (MTS) has undergone thorough testing.
