DuPont™ Marine Scrubber introduced at Nor-Shipping 2015

New DuPont™ Marine Scrubber Reflects the DuPont Commitment to Bring Innovations and Value to Marine Customers in Need of Effective Exhaust Gas Emissions Control

PARSIPPANY, N.J. (PRWEB) May 26, 2015

Belco Technologies Corporation (BELCO), a DuPont company, is pleased to introduce the DuPont™ Marine Scrubber (formerly the BELCO® Marine Scrubber) at Nor-Shipping in Oslo, the leading European shipping and maritime exhibition of 2015.

"Our new DuPont™ Marine Scrubber reflects the DuPont commitment to bring innovations and value to marine customers in need of effective exhaust gas emissions control," said James R. Weigand, president, DuPont Sustainable Solutions. "Over the last year, the DuPont team transformed our earlier scrubber design to dramatically reduce operating and installed costs, while retaining the design features customers loved. The DuPont™ Marine Scrubber is now very competitive in the marketplace."

By studying installed scrubber operating performance at sea, the scrubber experts at BELCO and the DuPont engineering group have optimized the scrubber design. The DuPont™ Marine Scrubber now performs using less seawater than ever in open loop, allowing vessel owners to reduce space and power consumption onboard. In closed loop, freshwater make-up requirements also have been reduced dramatically. The DuPont™ Marine Scrubber is available in open-loop, closed-loop and hybrid designs, and now comes in multi-stream and single-stream options to best accommodate a ship's funnel and engine room configuration.

While many improvements have been made, the scrubber still maintains all of its most popular original features. The DuPont™ Marine Scrubber remains the most reliable scrubber on the market, and retains its slim, low-pressure drop design without the need for fans. Systems are custom-designed to meet the needs of each ship's operational profile.

Contracts for DuPont™ Marine Scrubbers have been awarded for use on container ships, ferries and bulk carriers. DuPont will be exhibiting at Nor-Shipping 2015 in Hall E.
