MHPS’ exhaust gas treatment technologies are formulated using the company’s exhaust gas desulfurisation systems for thermal power plants.

The desulfurisation system can be efficiently installed within the limited areas on-board a ship and can help ships to reduce the content of sulfur dioxide (SO2) in its exhaust gas to a level that meets the new emissions regulations, which are expected to be effective by 2020 across the globe.

The SOx scrubber is also designed to use seawater as its cleaning agent and incorporates an ‘open-loop’ system to spray seawater intake directly on the exhaust gas. The system can be installed on both new and retrofitted vessels.
