Why have you chosen the Value Maritime scrubber system?
“Wanmar Shipping company has chosen to equip the vessel with a scrubber mainly because of the rapidly changing environmental rules that have major financial consequences. To improve our position on the freight market, we have decided to equip our ship with a Value Maritime scrubber.
We have also opted for a Value Maritime scrubber because of its plug and play concept. The scrubber is fairly easy to install with a very short installation time. Another nice side effect is that the scrubber also filters ultra-fine particulate matter and even saves CO2 emissions compared to using Marine Gasoil.
Value Maritime has reinvented scrubbing and will deliver a hybrid ready Scrubber system.
They have developed a small prefabricated, pre-installed, “plug and play” EGCS in a 20 ft road transportable casing, that filters Sulphur and ultrafine particulate matter (99% PM10 & 90% PM 2.5) from a vessel’s exhaust gasses. The system assures compliance with the IMO 0,1% Sulphur cap (SECA).
The EGCS comes in three sizes suitable for vessels with different engine size. These include: 3.0MW (0.1%), 6.0MW (0.1%) and 9.0MW (0.1%).
The systems are hybrid ready and we can provide a closed-loop module in a similar size casing if preferred. >> Read all about Value Maritime’s new scrubbing technique
The scrubber is set to be installed on the mv Donau in May 2020.
