Scrubber gases play a crucial role in helping vessels comply with IMO 2020 regulations by ensuring exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) operate efficiently and accurately. These gases are essential for calibrating onboard emissions monitoring equipment, allowing ship operators to verify sulphur oxide (SOx) reductions and remain within regulatory limits.
Our 10L cylinders are available for shipping in most cases, providing a reliable supply to keep your vessels compliant and operational. Get in touch today to secure your stock.
Scrubber gases refer to the emissions produced by ships using exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS), or scrubbers. These systems remove sulphur oxides (SOx) from exhaust gases to comply with IMO regulations.
Scrubbers use water or chemicals to remove sulphur oxides from exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere. They help ships continue using high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) while meeting emission standards.
Scrubbers help ships comply with the IMO 2020 sulphur cap (0.5% globally, 0.1% in Emission Control Areas) by reducing sulphur emissions, ensuring regulatory compliance while allowing continued use of cost-effective HSFO.
Ships must comply with IMO MARPOL Annex VI rules, and some regions have additional restrictions on scrubber discharge.
We supply high-purity calibration gases on a global scale for emission monitoring, ensuring vessels meet compliance standards. We also handle all DG paperwork, simplifying logistics for ship operators.
Calibration gases such as SO₂ (Sulphur Dioxide), CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide), NO (Nitric Oxide), and O₂ (Oxygen) are used to calibrate monitoring equipment for accurate emissions reporting.
