Valmet to supply hybrid scrubbers for HMM containerships

The delivery of the scrubber systems will start in 2019. Valmet has not disclosed the value of the order. The order represents Valmet’s first scrubber supply contract in South Korea and will further strengthen Valmet’s position as a scrubber supplier for passenger and cargo vessels.

“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,” says Anssi Mäkelä, Senior Manager, Marine Scrubber Systems, Valmet.

The scrubber system delivery includes tailor-made hybrid scrubber systems for main engine and generator engines including auxiliary systems and automation.

The exhaust gas is washed with seawater in open loop mode and with recirculated water and alkali in closed loop mode. All emissions are continuously monitored, and the complete exhaust gas scrubber system is controlled with Valmet’s proven marine automation.
