The shipping sector not only enhances global commerce but also increases worldwide emissions. The advancement of wet air scrubbers and various air pollution control technologies is crucial for lowering emissions and decarbonizing the shipping industry.
Scrubbers are set to become an increasingly crucial component of the global shipping industry moving forward. There are different types of scrubbers. The most popular of them are wet air scrubbers and dry scrubbers. All of the scrubbers perform the same functions. They manage air pollution by purifying exhaust gases and preventing harmful particulate matter from entering the environment. The design of a scrubber depends on the process conditions and the nature of the involved air particulate pollutants.
The emissions can be separated into two types: sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. These types were a really big issue at the beginning of the century. Nowadays, the global goal is decarbonization and reducing CO2 by 50%. It is a great percentage of global emissions because the shipping industry is one of the fundamental parts of the global economy. This setting goal is quite a challenge because it requires changing all the systems of the whole shipping industry functioning.
The scrubber market is increasingly gaining importance with each passing day. Mostly, because of the air treatment restrictions and new international regulations. Their main purpose is to reduce the environmental impact of the industry and improve air quality. It seems that standards will become a new important driving factor in the development of the industry soon. That will influence greatly all practices and technologies including the scrubber system.
The main problems are the cost of new vessels and finding new technologies that can help to achieve the regulated percentage. New restrictions demand only highly technology-developed solutions, such as wet air scrubbers.
The wet air scrubbers allow the implementation of air pollution control with low costs. This year the quantity of acquired wet air scrubbers or other air pollution control equipment has increased twofold compared to the previous year. It proves the gaining popularity of wet air scrubbers as an efficient air treatment method.
If you are looking for a highly advanced scrubber system, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge wet scrubber that is a Multi-Vortex scrubber. Multi-Vortex wet air scrubbers could apply water contaminated with dust, sand, and even small rocks to capture particulate pollutants, different types of dust, and some gases from the air.
This type of scrubber is an ideal solution for ore and coal mining. Thus, it can be used in different mining, combustion, and chemical processes to capture gases. Also, in some cases, the unique Multi-Vortex scrubber design allows utilizing cheaper reagents to capture the pollutant gas with more efficiency than a standard wet scrubber. If you would like to buy a Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber or have some questions, please contact Redwood Technology at info@rdwd.tech.
