Features of Ammonia Scrubbers
- Effectively captures and neutralizes harmful emissions, including ammonia (NH₃), sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter.
- Meets stringent international emission regulations like IMO Tier III standards.
- Utilizes wet scrubbers, dry scrubbers, or hybrid systems customized for specific emission control needs.
- Includes Tellerette® Tower Packing for optimized gas-liquid contact and maximum pollutant removal.
- Built using corrosion-resistant materials such as PP, FRP, SS 304, and SS 316 to withstand harsh marine environments.
How Our Ammonia Scrubber Works
Emission Capture: Captures ammonia (NH₃), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter from exhaust gases.
Gas-Liquid Interaction: Uses Tellerette® Tower Packing for efficient gas-liquid interaction.
Neutralization Process: Sprays a scrubbing solution to neutralize ammonia into non-toxic ammonium salts.
NOx Removal: Targets and removes nitrogen oxides (NOx) to reduce environmental impact.
Particulate Separation: Removes fine particulates and droplets using advanced mist eliminators.

Challenges of Ammonia as a Marine Fuel
While ammonia presents a promising solution, it comes with challenges:
- Toxicity: Ammonia is hazardous to humans and marine ecosystems, necessitating robust safety systems.
- Energy Density: Its lower energy density compared to conventional fuels requires larger storage volumes, reducing cargo space.
- N₂O Emissions: Combustion may release nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas, requiring additional control measures.
- Limited Green Ammonia Supply: Current green ammonia production is insufficient to meet global demand, posing cost and supply challenges.
frequently questioned answers
What is an ammonia scrubber and how does it work?
An ammonia scrubber neutralizes ammonia and other pollutants in marine exhaust gases. It uses a scrubbing solution to convert harmful emissions into non-toxic compounds.
Why is ammonia considered a sustainable marine fuel?
Ammonia has zero carbon emissions when burned and can be produced from renewable sources. Its high energy density makes it a viable alternative to traditional fuels in maritime operations.
What benefits do ammonia scrubbers provide to the shipping industry?
Ammonia scrubbers ensure compliance with international emission standards like IMO Tier III. They help reduce harmful pollutants like ammonia, NOx, and SOx, improving environmental sustainability.
How do ammonia scrubbers contribute to IMO compliance?
Ammonia scrubbers help vessels meet IMO emission standards by removing pollutants like ammonia and NOx. They ensure vessels can operate in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) with strict regulations.
Can ammonia scrubbers be customized for different types of vessels?
Yes, ammonia scrubbers are designed to meet the specific needs of various vessels, from cargo ships to tankers. They can be tailored to accommodate different fuel types and engine capacities.
What are the environmental benefits of using ammonia scrubbers?
Ammonia scrubbers reduce emissions like ammonia, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to cleaner air and water. They support the transition to zero-emission shipping, helping to reduce the maritime industry’s carbon footprint.
