SO 2 reduction versus water ph SO 2 reduction Alkalinity reflects the 100% ability to react with acids and neutralise them. Alkaline power reduces as neutralisation takes effect. 50% Alkalinity and hence, scrubber efficiency is controlled by: 0% ph 14 adjusting flow in sea water scrubbers, or adjusting NaOH quantity in fresh water scrubbers 7 / 45 Wärtsilä 8 November 2011
Typical Wärtsilä scrubber performance and operation data Performance SO x reduction > 97% Operation Installation example: 10 MW, 85% MCR 3.5% S, scrubbing to 0.1 % level ISO conditions Fuel Power consumption Up to 3.5% S content 0.5% of actual Power NaOH price 50 250 $/m 3 NaOH consumption Approx. 130 litres /h (~7% of SFOC) Dimensions / Weight in operation Fresh water consumption Effluent* sea discharge Sea water (cooling) 6m Ø 3.4m / 10 tons Approx. 1 m 3 / h Approx. < 1 m 3 / h Approx. 100 m 3 / h * Cleaned bleed-off extracted from scrubbing water to remove contaminants 8 / 45 Wärtsilä 8 November 2011

Bleed-off treatment Bleed-off Effluent Cleaned bleed-off Disposal: At open sea discharged overboard Storage: In a buffer tank possibility to operate in zero discharge mode Permits cleaning of bleed-off anytime, also when scrubber is not operating Scrubbing water circulation Effluent Bleed-off Sludge Sludge Small amount of scrubbing water extracted to bleed-off unit to remove contaminants Disposal: Never overboard Storage: In a buffer tank which permits: Operation of scrubber with bleed-off treatment unit out of operation Also vice versa Disposal: In port, never overboard Storage: In ship s sludge tank, possibly in the existing tank with separator and other sludge 11 / 45 Wärtsilä 8 November 2011
