FINLAND's Valmet is a major global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries, and is now moving into supplying scrubbers to big shipyards worldwide.
Valmet will supply exhaust gas cleaning system (scrubber system) for seven 23,000-TEU newbuilds at South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering for Hyundai Merchant Marine.
The scrubber system order was included in Valmet's fourth quarter 2018 orders received.
Valmet has a long track record in supplying scrubber systems to different vessels types. This order is Valmet's first scrubber supply to South Korea and will further strengthen Valmet's position as a scrubber supplier for passenger and cargo vessels.
Valmet has had its own locations in Korea over two decades to ensure best sales, project and life cycle support for local customers.
'We are proud to provide our technology to the Asian market. Our scrubber system will ensure a sustainable and reliable exhaust gas cleaning for the ships,' said Valmet's marine scrubber manager Anssi Makela.
The scrubber system delivery will include hybrid scrubber systems for main engine and generator engines including auxiliary systems and automation. The exhaust gas is washed with seawater in open loop mode and with recirculated water and alkali in closed loop mode.
All emissions are continuously monitored, and the complete exhaust gas scrubber system is controlled with Valmet's proven marine automation.
