Securing compliance with care – service examples
Our portfolio contains a wide range of services to secure SOx scrubber performance. By taking advantage of preventive maintenance, continuous optimization and more, you can rely on your PureSOx system for cost-effective compliance throughout your vessel’s lifetime.
PureSOx spare parts can be shipped anywhere within 24 hours, and we can even arrange tailored stocks.
Sail efficiently between compliance zones, no matter how your PureSOx system was originally configured. FLEX Mode lowers OPEX through either energy or fuel cost savings.
Safeguard compliance and reduce the risk of unscheduled downtime by letting us identify potential issues – along with opportunities for optimization and upgrades.
Use your time in dry dock to increase the lifetime and efficiency of your PureSOx system. Pre-inspection through a Condition Assessment lets us tailor a proposal.
Simplify proof of compliance by swapping in pre-serviced units when calibration or replacement is required. Available for compatible water sensors and gas analyser modules.
Annual gas analyser calibration
If your PureSOx system has a gas analyser from ABB, we can handle the yearly calibration as a certified ABB service partner.
Optimize scrubber performance and lower cost of ownership by increasing crew skills in maintenance and troubleshooting.
Simplify compliance reporting and troubleshooting with data-driven services. Our modular, subscription-based platform helps you save both time and money.
Customized scrubber service agreements
Alfa Laval Service Agreements are a tailor-made way to lower OPEX and secure scrubber uptime. They combine your choice of services from our broad PureSOx offering, ranging from scrubber spare parts to scrubber connectivity. Over 80% of PureSOx customers take advantage of the peace of mind and predictable annual costs.
Why use a scrubber to meet SOx regulations?
Fuel prices are unpredictable, but high-sulphur fuel is consistently less expensive than low-sulphur options. With a PureSOx scrubber, you can leverage the price difference while reducing SOx emissions to the equivalent of low-sulphur fuel. You get lasting fuel economy – and a rapid return on your SOx scrubber investment.
Installing an Alfa Laval PureSOx scrubber system
It takes experience and expertise to get a SOx scrubber system on board, especially in a retrofit. Alfa Laval has delivered hundreds of PureSOx systems, and more than half have been retrofit projects. Our advance planning and proximity to major shipyards, along with prefabricated components and modules, simplify the process.
Over the years, we have developed strong project management routines and procedures. These ensure that design, installation, commissioning and class approval all go smoothly. We take responsibility and work closely with you, the shipyard and any engineering company to ensure success.

Technology
Open-loop, closed-loop or hybrid scrubbing?
Open-loop scrubbers, which discharge the scrubber water directly, are a common choice due to their lower CAPEX and OPEX. However, low water alkalinity or local bans on open-loop scrubbing can limit their use. Closed-loop scrubbers recirculate the scrubber water and discharge only a small amount of cleaned bleed-off water, which enables more widespread compliance. But the smartest choice is often a hybrid scrubber, which provides future-proof economy through open-loop and closed-loop modes. All three configurations are possible with PureSOx.
Energy savings with PureSOx Energy Reduction Mode
PureSOx can save energy and costs when equipped with Energy Reduction Mode. Optional for new scrubber systems and available as an upgrade, Energy Reduction Mode optimizes the flow of water through the scrubber. Instead of relying on engine load, it uses real-time compliance measurements to pump no more water than necessary – which reduces OPEX, lowers CO2 emissions and improves your vessel’s EEXI.
