DeepBlueLAB® SOx

Marine Scrubber for SOx reduction

Marine Scrubber is one of the most efficient solution to remove the SOx from the Ship Exhaust Gas. Pure sea water or with the add of a reagent, the injection on the top of the scrubber of this circulating liquid allows both gas cooling and an efficient SOx treatment.

Our systems operate in various configurations. From Open Loop to Closed Loop or in Hybrid mode, our design ensures flexibility and efficiency across vessel types.

We evaluate and propose standard or customized configurations based on your ship’s layout and specific constraints, including:

  • Inline / Offline configurations
  • Single / Multi-engine systems

As the only scrubber manufacturer offering GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) components, LAB ensures corrosion free scrubber towers, shorter delivery times, and reduced system weight — a key advantage in the maritime sector.


Efficient SO₂ removal for full MARPOL Annex VI compliance

LAB’s DeepBlueLAB® SOx is a high-performance scrubber system designed to remove sulphur oxides (SOx) from marine exhaust gases, in full compliance with the IMO MARPOL Annex VI regulations.

Operating in Open Loop, Closed Loop, or Hybrid mode, the system allows shipowners to continue using high-sulphur fuel oil (HSFO) while still meeting the required sulphur emission limits — 0.5% globally and 0.1% in SECA zones.

Backed by years of R&D and industrial expertise, DeepBlueLAB® SOx offers a reliable, compact and corrosion-resistant solution for newbuilds and retrofits. It is adaptable to all ship types and engine configurations, with optimized water treatment, automation, and minimal operational impact.
