Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment – a futureproofed compliance solution
Wärtsilä is the leading global manufacturer of exhaust gas abatement solutions for the international commercial shipping market.

Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment is part of a group that has decades of experience in ship engine and parts design and engineering. This, combined with its market-leading position as a smart technology company, provides Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment with unparalleled access to industry-leading experience, a world-leading team of engineers, and some of the most cutting-edge, data-led innovations in shipping.

We are dedicated to providing exhaust gas solutions for the long term and as true sustainable lifecycle solutions.

Cut SOx. Tackle NOx, particulate matter and black carbon
Our exhaust gas treatment solutions are in compliance with the International Maritime Organisation’s 2020 Global Sulphur Cap as well as the stricter SECA limit. They also generate large reductions in NOx, particulate matter and black carbon.

The implementation of IMO 2020 was a starting point for continually improving our scrubber technologies. The challenges of the future will heighten the requirement for truly safeguarded compliance solutions.

Our exhaust gas solutions are designed as a long-term technology solution with modular functionality, and will be supported across the entire lifespan of an installation with updates and upgrades in line with the best research and development, and customer and industry demands.

Equipment

Versatility and simplicity
We know that choosing the right type of scrubber for your operations is important. That’s why Wärtsilä has developed three kinds of standard scrubber designs to better meet the demands of our customers.

Wärtsilä can offer the conventional venturi scrubber design, as well as the more compact inline scrubber system. Both scrubber designs have benefits and drawbacks dependent on vessel type and layout, which is why our experts work closely with you to recommend what makes sense at a vessel and fleet level.

Wärtsilä’s exhaust gas treatment systems have superior uptime and some of the best quality of engineering in the market across the globe. Our scrubbers are highly dependable, reliable and safe, providing owners and operators with a high amount of assurance when using these solutions in-operation.

Our exhaust gas treatment systems have been tested and certified according to IMO guidelines, thus ensuring safe operation and compliance.

Most importantly, our systems are simple, and we work with your maintenance and operations teams to ensure that there is minimal impact to their workload.

Lifecycle Solutions

Carbon capture and storage

Tackling CO2 with exhaust gas abatement technology
As the leading manufacturer of exhaust gas abatement technologies, Wärtsilä Exhaust Treatment already enables ship owners and operators to reduce their SOx, NOx and Particulate Matter (PM) emissions. Utilising this long-standing experience and in-depth knowledge of abatement technologies, we are developing the industry’s first onboard carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology.

While the industry waits for future fuels to be developed and scaled up – requiring sufficient renewable energy sources to produce carbon-neutral fuels and the build out of extensive supply chain infrastructure to ensure availability worldwide – CCS provides an immediate opportunity for sustainable shipping.

Onboard CCS is also dependent on infrastructure but can integrate with existing solutions that are already in place for land-based CCUS projects.
