Scrubber operations

Operating scrubbers come with it’s own challenges. Like any other systems, scrubbers need to be maintained and operated according to maker specifications. This is all within day-to-day ship operations when you have the right processes and management.

We have prepared useful slides highlighting a few key challenges when operating scrubbers. Included within are:

• Common problems encountered during sludge handling where some ports are unfamiliar with the EU Waste Directive
• Differences of sulfur requirements by geography 
• Acceptable scrubber-types at ports due to the local wash water regulations
• Possible malfunction of monitoring equipment
• Scrubber water testing
• Calibration schedule and roles segregation
• Training for equipment
• Caustic soda handling
