Validate Supply Specifications: Ensure that the supplied caustic solution matches the specified percentage, guaranteeing compliance and peace of mind.

Precise System Dosing: Adjust dosing rates accordingly to maximize efficiency and minimize costs.

Reject Non-Compliant Deliveries: Easily identify and reject deliveries that do not meet the required caustic concentration.

If you want to:

Streamline your emission compliance efforts
Enhance cost-effectiveness
Safeguard your vessel's adherence to environmental regulations.

Then the Scrubber Caustic Test Kit is the right choice for a smoother voyage to compliance and efficiency.

Critical Importance of Caustic Solution Analysis

The Scrubber Caustic Test Kit comes into play when determining the percentage of caustic solution, which is of paramount importance for ship operators.

Dosing rates and system setups are tailored to the specific percentage of caustic used. Failing to ensure the correct concentration can result in various problems:

Increased Costs: A lower percentage caustic solution leads to increased consumption, driving up operational costs.
Compliance Risks: Suboptimal caustic concentrations can negatively impact scrubbing performance, potentially causing vessels to fall short of emission requirements.

Caustic Solution Analysis Kit for Emission Compliance

In today's maritime landscape, compliance with stringent environmental regulations is paramount.

Both the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the European Union (EU) have mandated reductions in sulfur emissions from ship operations.

Vessels navigating Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) face the obligation to either use low-sulfur distillate fuels or implement an approved exhaust gas treatment system on board to capture sulfur emissions.

For ship owners and operators who have chosen the exhaust gas treatment route, the adoption of wet scrubbers is on the rise.

Wet scrubbers offer three distinct operating modes:

Open loop
Closed loop
Hybrid mode, which combines elements of both open and closed-loop systems.

When vessels operate within SECAs, closed-loop scrubbing is the prescribed method. To maintain alkaline levels in the scrubbing water, Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) in a 50% solution is commonly employed, as the pH range for both fresh and seawater can fall between 6.5 and 8.5.
