Abstract

Exhaust gas from ships becomes a problem as a causative substance of air pollution. Scrubber water is used for EGR that is an exhaust gas purifying device to absorb harmful matter. However, it cannot be reused since its alkalinity decreases after absorbing SOx. Therefore, an electrolytic device with Mg electrodes connected in series was developed. In this report, the current as a function of the applied voltage and the voltage between electrodes were measured. We also investigated the effect of the electrolytic device connected in series by comparing its alkalinity and energy efficiency with those of a device connected in parallel. It was shown that the output voltage from a power supply was divided between electrodes. The energy efficiency of the former device was equivalent to that of the latter. In the case of a 6.5 MW engine, the voltage and current of the later device were estimated as 7.9 V and 468 A, respectively. On the other hand, those of the former were 79 V and 46.8 A.
