Marine Scrubber Water Treatment Liqtech

LiqTech & The IMO Sulphur Cap

We have long-term experience working with top marine scrubber manufacturers, shipowners, and shipyards, and we have a market-proven solution.

By 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented a new lower cap on Sulphur emission for international shipping. Inside the Emission Control Areas (ECA) the regulations are even stricter.

We are here to clean water from unburned fuel oil, soot particles, ash and heavy metals, and to take an active role in reducing world pollution. We care about the future, and at the same time about growth. We see it as our mission to enable companies to grow stronger while meeting the environmental demands of tomorrow. That means the world to us.

LiqTech has developed a compact and efficient wastewater treatment system for both closed-loop and hybrid scrubbers that outperforms discharge limits regulated by the IMO. Working with the market leaders for several years, we have successfully installed both retrofit and new-build systems on hundreds of vessels.

Liqtech Marine Scrubber Wastewater Filtration Process

Filtration Process for Marine Scubbers

Our solution will treat the water from the scrubber tower, and then it is sent back to the scrubber tower for reuse. This enables the scrubber to run in a “closed-loop” with no wastewater discharged overboard. Instead, the SOx particle is filtered and concentrated in our Silicon Carbide membranes and further dewatered in a filter press, providing bulk discharge of dry waste to a waste handling station while in port.

Liqtech Modular System Design Industrial Wastewater

Modular Design for Flexible Installation

With LiqTech’s innovative modular design, it is easy to install the marine scrubber wastewater solution on retrofits and new builds. The solution makes it possible to further increase capacity after installation if needed.

  • Separation of filter skid for ease of installation
  • Possibility to increase capacity
  • Low maintenance
