Scrubber Pumps

Scrubber Pumps for Emission Control in Industrial and Marine Applications

Scrubber pumps are vital components in industrial and marine systems designed to reduce harmful emissions by capturing and neutralising gas particles before release into the environment. Similar to the AdBlue system in vehicles, scrubbers spray a neutralising liquid—such as lime milk, caustic soda, magnesium hydroxide, or seawater—onto emissions, significantly reducing pollutants. Scrubber systems include several types: Open Loop, Closed Loop, Hybrid, Wet Scrubber, and Dry Scrubber, each catering to specific applications and environmental conditions.

Scrubber systems rely on high-performance pumps to maintain consistent flow rates and pressure, ensuring thorough gas treatment. In open-loop systems, seawater is used to neutralise exhaust gases, whereas closed-loop systems recirculate fresh water treated with neutralising agents, minimising waste. Hybrid systems combine both approaches, offering operational flexibility depending on regulations and availability of seawater.

These scrubber pumps integrate with other marine solutions such as ballast management and bilge pumping, playing a critical role in supporting vessels’ compliance with environmental regulations. By ensuring effective pollutant capture, scrubber pumps help minimise ecological impact, advancing cleaner marine and industrial operations.
