Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems

 

 

 

 

Sox Scrubber Technologies: Albion Marine team has experience installing both the SOX scrubber systems wet scrubbers that use water (seawater or fresh) as the scrubbing medium and dry scrubbers that use a dry chemical. Wet systems are further subdivided into open-loop systems that use seawater, closed-loop systems that use freshwater with the addition of an alkaline chemical, and hybrid systems that can operate in both open loops and closed loops modes.

 

​

 Exhaust gas cleaning systems(EGCS), also known as scrubbers, are used to stop particulate matter and harmful air emissions, such as sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), from being released from a marine engine’s combustion exhaust gases. EGCS provide a reliable, efficient, economical alternative to using distillate or low sulphur content fuels.

Albion Marine Solutions offers the expert services of its professional team to plan, execute and support vessel retrofits for the installation of scrubbers, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Our team does so with parallel management of the operational and technological risks by sourcing the most cost-effective, reliable solutions from a capital expenditure (CAPEX) and future operating expenditure (OPEX) perspective. Albion Marine Solutions has developed several EGCS conversions for domestic and international trade vessels.
Project Planning and Management: Albion Marine Solutions provides well-organized project Management from the beginning to the completion of the project, an essential component of a successful retrofit project. Albion professionals project management team is well reliable and adhere to a cost-effective approach for successful project completion, including a time for interactions with third parties such as Class, Scrubber vendors, suppliers of OFE, logistics, technical procurement, etc.                                                  

 

 

Ship Site Survey and 3D Scan: Albion Marine Solutions has an experienced Ship Site Survey team to onboard a vessel of any type to conduct an onboard survey. The survey team will use modern measuring and laser scanning equipment for their site survey to determine the exact location for any new equipment. The scanning team will identify all utility tie-in points for all systems under consideration.

 

 

Feasibility Study: Selection of Scrubber System Wet ,Open and Closed loop Scrubber: Albion Marine Solutions provides its engineering expertise for selecting the scrubber system for installation onboard (retrofit) of the subject vessel. Albion Marine Solutions is very well familiar with most of the scrubber systems available in the market. Our key personnel have attended the training and production facilities of several major manufacturers. Also, our project personnel have hands-on experience with the integration and operation of several various scrubber systems.

 

 

Engineering Package (Concept Designs +Basic Engineering + Detailed Engineering): Albion Marine Solutions engineering work is an evaluation of the proposed Concept Design and its discussion with the stakeholders. The Concept Design will be developed on findings from the Ship Site Survey and the conclusions of the feasibility study. Then in Basic Engineering, the project team will deliver the generic and functional designs of the main components and systems, including piping, cabling, various foundations, etc. Lastly, The Detailed Engineering phase involves close coordination and synchronization among different engineering disciplines, with all in-house resources working interactively and progressively.  

 

Prefabrication: Albion Marine offers a turnkey pre-fabrication package. Pre-fabrication is a critical component of retrofit activities. Albion Marine handles the entire pre-fabrication of the piping and foundations. Albion Marine would also provide all necessary valves, cables, and breakers and cover all the material acquisition costs, including freight.

 

Retrofits by Riding Crew and at anchorage: Albion Marine Solutions Ltd. provides trained and certified electricians, mechanics, pipe fitters and technicians to ensure safe and efficient repairs and retrofits on board of the ships at sea or in ports. The voyage repairs are carried out onboard the vessels without hampering the routine operation of the vessels and thus no commercial loss for the clients.  Riding Squads are composed based on the nature of the job scope.  Albion can take up voyage repairs or work in the shipyard for new build and during routine dry-dock repairs with the Riding Squads.

 

 

Commissioning: Albion Marine Solutions Ltd. offers highly skilled engineers with vast experience to assist with the commissioning of various systems. Commissioning on site is nearly always done in the presence of the client and, if required, an official representative of a classification society. An essential aspect of commissioning is the testing of capacity and functionality. Our qualified engineers conduct installations and commissioning worldwide and provide practical, feasible and comprehensive solutions to the challenges arising from any project. 

 

 

Training: Albion Marine Solutions provides training in scrubber maintenance and chemical handling. Our training covers system design and function, governing documents, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Training can take place at customer sites. The well-trained crew who understands the system and regulatory issues will increase the lifetime of the machinery, reduce OPEX, and, crucially, lower the risk of non-compliance. Training can also prevent scrubber downtime should the crew misread or misunderstand the regulations.

 

 

After Sales Support : Albion Marine Solutions offers a full range of class, certification and verification services to support the proper installation and commissioning. Our team of experts can help you at any scrubber installation and operation stage. Albion Marine can also provide a lifecycle cost analysis that compares the economic impacts of the various fuel and associated equipment options to better inform our clients about the selection process. Albion Marine Solutions can help you make the right decisions for your fleet. 

After Sales Services :Complete Health Check (Semi-annual), Detailed Checklist- based inspection by maker trained personnel, No infringement with any maker. Does not involve proprietary software checks, covers structural, mechanical, and electrical maintenance scope, IAS, and system integration checks, including electrical cabling issues, Comprehensive health check report provided at the end with issues, recommendations, and photos.

 

Sensor Exchange Calibration Program: Calibration of all sensors as per Maker’s manual, Maker- certified calibrated sensor is installed while the old sensor is sent to the sensor maker’s calibration facility and stored with AMS, involves all commonly used sensors such as pH sensor, pAH probe and turbidimeter and Sensor exchange/ replacement/ calibration – entirely managed by a dedicated Albion Marine Project Manager.
