Ships have the option of using a scrubber to reduce the sulfur content leaving the exhaust, IMO requires fuel with a maximum of 0,5% sulfur as of 2020 therefore many ships are being build with scrubbers in order to use non-complaient fuel that is cheaper.

A wet scrubber uses water to clean the exhaust smoke from SOx. the scrubber also removes particular matter aprox. 85% depending on the system. there are 3 types of scrubbers

Open loop

Closed Loop

Hybrid,

Closed loop and hybrid requires kemicals to clean the smoke as the scrubbingmedia is not alowed to be discharged directly into the sea. these scrubbers requires a Water Treatment Unit in order to comply with requlations of MPEC. something
