The Technology
The HAK Scrubber is an Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS) designed and manufactured in Korea. It is IMO, Class approved, and is designed in I-type configuration with packing included, hence exhaust gas by-pass is allowed when the scrubber not in use, while maintaining back pressure allowances. It is highly efficient and can be optimized for 0,5% or 0,1 % sulfur requirements. The system is available both in open loop and in closed/hybrid mode depending on your operating profile
Configuration
Retrofitting EGCS – The challenge
The installation of an Exhaust Gas Cleaning system onboard an existing vessel requires proactive planning. Applying this to a large fleet is a massive challenge to accomplish within the planned schedule. Our Bureau’s experience in Scrubber installations is constantly building up by supporting the owners who have pioneered into customizing their fleet to tackle the new low sulphur trading from 2020 onwards.
