CLEAN MARINE
Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (Scrubber) and Air Lubrication System
Clean Marine
For 20 years, Clean Marine has served clients across the full range of shipping sectors, manufacturing robust emissions cleaning and reduction products. The company encompasses an extensive series of business aspects: from product design, engineering and manufacturing to worldwide sales and after sales services.
Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (Scrubber)
The company has over 300 active scrubbers in operation. The Clean Marine’s U-type scrubber is certified to reduce Sulphur levels below 0.1%, and it’s approved by all major class societies.
This scrubber features a clean open loop design made from high quality steel (SMO254) and its design’s simplicity limits possible critical components faults and wear, ensuring maximum longevity. Clean Marine’s U-type scrubber is proven to be extremely cost competitive per unit and it offers further savings thanks to a lower ongoing OPEX.
The scrubber is constructed in a single unit and dropped into place on the vessel, minimising downtime for installation. Operationally, there is no extra burden on the crew, and the straightforward design reduces training requirements and risk of error. The open loop precludes the need for caustic acid or wastewater to be stored on board for discharge at the port.
Over 80% of all scrubbers sold globally have been open loop for the reasons mentioned above (source: DNV Class Society 2022).
Air Lubrication System (ALS)
Air Lubrication System aims to reduce frictional resistance between a vessel’s hull and the water below. ALS creates a thin layer of air under the hull bottom to generate air friction drag resistance and improve operational efficiency (estimated to deliver fuel savings of 5-10%).
The Clean Marine ALS is made up of multiple outlets that are used to evenly distribute the air throughout the vessel’s bottom, forming a proper air layer with maximum benefit. The system is powered by 110kw screw compressors which provide low-pressure, high-volume, and proven reliability for continuous use. Clean Marine facilities have an efficient installation time of 7-10 days on average.
The ALS comes with an automated control system which enables operation and monitoring from the wheelhouse, in addition to a live data-feed for on-shore monitoring and real-time assessment of the vessel performance.
