Course description
London Maritime Academy presents an essential course on SOx Scrubber Retrofits in the Maritime Industry. This training is designed for maritime professionals aiming to reduce sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions, a key challenge in environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance. Our course offers in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience with SOx scrubber technologies, enhancing participants' professional skills.
SOx emissions from using high-sulfur fuels in ships significantly impact air quality and ecosystem health. Addressing this, our course focuses on innovative SOx scrubber systems, which are crucial for adhering to stringent environmental standards. Participants will explore various scrubber technologies, including seawater and alkaline-based systems, gaining comprehensive insights into their operation and benefits.
The program also delves into the practical aspects of retrofitting ships with SOx scrubbers. Trainees will learn about the technological, regulatory, financial, and operational challenges of such projects. Our goal is to equip participants with the expertise needed for successful planning, execution, and management of SOx scrubber retrofits, contributing to sustainable maritime operations.
