Wash water monitoring for ship exhaust scrubbers

Monitoring of wash water from ship exhaust gas scrubbers

Robust wash water monitoring system ensures reliable monitoring with minimal maintenance requirements

Increased protection of seas and coasts poses challenges for the maritime industries. Especially due to the stricter regulations issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce emissions from ships that run on heavy fuel oil (such as IFO). The specified limits can only be achieved by exhaust gas cleaning systems such as scrubbers. For their operation, it is mandatory to safely monitor the scrubber water quality in accordance with applicable regulations to prevent contamination.
