What are Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS) or Scrubbers?

Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems (EGCS), commonly known as scrubbers, are a technology ships use to comply with the 2020 sulphur cap regulations. Scrubbers lower sulphur emissions by introducing seawater or freshwater and a caustic chemical into the exhaust gas flow. In this process, pollutants such as sulphur dioxide interact with the alkaline water, forming sulphuric acid. The alkaline water neutralizes acidic substances like sulphur dioxide and other pollutants.

What Are the Different Types of Scrubbers?


These systems use fresh water and chemicals like caustic soda to increase alkalinity. The water is recirculated within the system, with periodic purging of a small portion. Accumulated sludge is stored onboard for proper disposal at port facilities.

These systems utilise seawater with a natural alkalinity to neutralise sulphur oxides in the exhaust gases. Once treated, the wash water is released back into the sea as long as it complies with the discharge regulations set by MARPOL.

Where does Scrubber Gas fit in?

Calibration gas is vital for scrubbers to perform effectively. It ensures the sensors monitoring exhaust gas cleaning systems are accurate, helping your ships stay compliant with emissions regulations and operate smoothly. With FastCalGas, you can focus on what matters most—running your fleet efficiently.
