This SBIR Phase I project proposes to test the efficacy of scrubber water treatment systems to treat hydrocarbon contaminants in the scrubber water from the exhaust gas cleaning system.What are the broader/commercial impacts of the proposed project?The broader/commercial impact of the proposed project will be to enable ships to meet new regulations adopted by the International Maritime Organization which become effective in July 2010. Ships will be required to either install scrubbing equipment for removal of sulfur compounds from residual fuels currently burned, or they will need to switch to more costly low sulfur distillate fuels. A switch to low sulfur fuel would increase current fuel costs by over 88%.

该SBIR第一阶段项目拟测试洗涤器水处理系统处理来自废气清洁系统的洗涤器水中碳氢化合物污染物的效率。拟议项目的更广泛/商业影响是什么？拟议项目的更广泛/商业影响将是使船舶能够满足国际海事组织通过的新条例，这些条例将于2010年7月生效。 船舶将被要求安装洗涤设备，以去除目前燃烧的残余燃料中的硫化合物，或者他们将需要改用更昂贵的低硫馏分燃料。 改用低硫燃料将使目前的燃料成本增加88%以上。
