Hamamatsu Photonics offers xenon flash lamp modules that deliver high stability and long life, yet provide high output power covering a broad spectrum of light from the UV to infrared region. These xenon flash lamp modules have been used in wide-ranging applications and fields such as environmental monitoring, including atmospheric and water quality analysis, medical research and treatment such as blood analysis, and industrial uses such as product inspection.
Now, applications of xenon flash lamp modules are expanding even further to include the maritime shipping industry.
SOx scrubbers for washing away SOx with seawater are the key to dealing with the SOx regulations that will become tougher in 2020
The maritime shipping industry has been promoting the reduction of SOx (sulphur oxides) emissions mainly in areas where maritime traffic is concentrated such as the oceans near Europe and North American coasts. In 2020, the global regulations to reduce SOx emissions will be set forth according to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) that will strengthen and expand the regulations to include general sea areas in addition to the currently designated sea areas. To cope with these new regulations an exhaust gas cleaning system called the “SOx scrubber” is being installed on ships.
