Exhaust gas cleaning systems for VLGC


Norwegian firm selected to supply exhaust gas cleaning systems for a Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC).

Norwegian firm Clean Marine AS has been selected by Hyundai Heavy Industries to supply exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) for a Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC) being built for Dorian LPG Ltd.

The company has developed an EGCS based on the Advanced Vortex Chamber technology that is said to provide 'unique particulate matter trapping efficiency'.

The system’s integrated fan and gas recirculation technology also allows the one EGCS unit to simultaneously serve several combustion units.

The system supplied to Dorian LPG is a hybrid system that is designed to allow the vessel to operate seamlessly in all types of water (including low alkaline and saline water) without loss of efficiency.
