EnSolve launches scrubber effluent treatment

摘要

Ensolve biosystems has developed a new product called EnScrub to treat par-ticulates and petroleum hydrocarbons from the aqueous effluent of shipboard sulfur oxides (SOx) scrubber systems. This patent-pending technology, partially funded by a Phase II National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, combines biological and physical processes to treat the effluent and is available for closed-loop, open-loop or hybrid applications. "Whereas SOx scrubber systems focus on the removal of sulfur oxides from engine emissions, harmful particu-lates and petroleum hydrocarbons end up in the aqueous effluent of these scrubber systems," explained Jason Caplan, president of En-Solve.
