WET INLINE SCRUBBER WITH A SIDE INLET FOR REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SOX IN AN EXHAUST GAS PRODUCED BY ONE OR MORE ENGINES OF A MARINE VESSEL

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a wet inline scrubber with a side inlet using alkali scrubber fluid for reducing the amount of SOx in the exhaust gas of one or more engines of a marine vessel, comprising a vertically extending exhaust gas reaction tube, a lower scrubbing chamber as well as an upper scrubbing chamber comprising a plurality of alkali scrubber fluid injectors to partially scrub this exhaust gas, a used scrubber fluid drain at the bottom thereof. The lower chamber comprises an exhaust gas outlet confining the lower scrubbing chamber at the top thereof, which comprises a central opening arranged to let the partially scrubbed exhaust gas to pass through it, a body extending from the central opening up to an outer wall thereof which is in contact with the inner wall of the exhaust gas reaction tube, wherein between the body of the lower chamber exhaust gas outlet and the inner wall of the exhaust gas reaction tube, one or more slit-shaped openings are provided that allow scrubber scrubber fluid to flow from the upper scrubbing chamber to the lower scrubbing chamber. The present disclosure further relates to a method for reducing the amount of SOx in the exhaust gas of one or more such engines.
