The total addressable market for marine scrubber technology market is projected to reach USD 1,2071.5 million by 2027, according to QuantAlign Research. There are a few methods available to the shipping sector to comply with the IMO 2020 requirement to reduce SOx emissions. To lessen the output of SOx, it can switch to a compliant fuel with less sulphur, an alternative fuel (such LNG or methanol), or clean its exhaust emissions using “scrubber” technology.

MDO and MGO, which are low-sulfur fuels, are more expensive than heavy fuel oil (HFO). As a result, different low-cost techniques for cleaning exhaust gas have been developed to reduce SOX emissions. Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), also known as scrubbers, are used to remove dangerous substances like sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the exhaust gases produced as a result of combustion processes in marine engines.

Key Insights

• The marine scrubber technology market is classified on the basis of technology, vessel type, fuel, Alkali, End Use. In a growing number of ports the use of open-loop scrubbers is banned and vessels are required to run a closed loop system.
• The majority of the most recent contracts are for bulk and chemical/oil transport vessels. The most common scrubbers are open-loop models. Closed-loop or hybrid systems are needed for vessels operating in restricted locations where wash water discharge to the sea is allowed.
• Magnesium oxide may be used as SOx absorbent in vessel scrubbers designed to handle MgO powders. Such systems offer several advantages over scrubbers utilizing caustic soda (NaOH) or hydrated lime (Ca(OH)2).
• Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is better known to add to the scrubbing (sea)water in order to maintain the alkalinity and subsequently the scrubbing capability of the scrubber (sea)water in a closed scrubber liquid loop rather than caustic soda.
