SOLVAir Marine team facilitated the joint collaboration of three partners: Solvay, Andritz and La Méridionale.
The result of this collaboration is the installation of the world’s first dry exhaust gas treatment system on the vessel PIANA.
With its 30 years’ experience, Solvay brought technical support during the engineering, construction and operation phases, with a specific focus on the injection of dry sorbent; Solvay also supplied the sodium-based sorbent and safely managed the residues.
Andritz designed, built, and delivered the equipment, integrated on the vessel under La Méridionale’s responsibility.
PIANA is the first vessel running SOLVAir Marine Solution.
SOLVAir Marine teams, Andritz representatives and La Méridionale have run a trial of 6 months to test the efficiency of the solution on vessels running on High Sulphur Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) engines.
