SODIUM bicarbonate, a substance known for baking, has emerged as a new scrubber solution, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
London-based SodaFlexx created a concept to treat exhaust gas emissions from ships with sodium bicarbonate powder.
The concept was adapted from land-based technology, where sodium bicarbonate powder is put directly into the exhaust gas stream to neutralize compounds.
A chemical reaction occurs, converting SOx to a highly stable and non-toxic salt, sodium sulfate. It is released into the atmosphere or captured by SodaFlexx's bespoke cyclone particulate capture hybrid system.
After three years of trials, the SodaFlexx dry exhaust gas cleaning system was installed on the 96,772 DWT Yeoman Bridge.
The application is currently in the process of obtaining a US patent, and SodaFlexx is now trialing new technology using its powder delivery systems to treat and handle CO2 from marine engines.
