These tests showed SO2 removal efficiencies at >98 % and particle removal efficiencies up to 80 % from the exhaust gas. Based on these tests and promising results, a scrubber for Ficaria Seaways was designed early 2008 and installed during 2009. The project is a co-operation between Alfa Laval Aalborg (Aalborg Industries until May 13, 2011), MAN Diesel & Turbo, and Alfa Laval and has been co-financed by the Danish Environmental Agency under a program for testing and promoting new environmental technologies.
