Ecospec CSNOx - Anybody aware of details?
Hey,
I just read about the Ecospec CSNOx system, claiming to reduce the emissions of SO2 by 92.9%, NOx by 82.2% and CO2 by 74.4% by scrubbing. http://www.ecospec.com/press.asp
Except for the press releases I couldn't find any "real" information about the system, does anybody know a little more or is it done by miracle? How big is such a system, if it claims to capture 74.4% of a super tankers CO2 emission? They claim not to discharge any other pollutant, and not to additionally acidify the oceans (http://www.motorship.com/currentnews/article.asp?ARTICLEID=7135), how do they do this?
I am just curious :-)

My co-worker called them to get more information. It seems they use an electorlyzer to increase the alkalinity in the water to reduce the emissions. We are hoping to get more information but you could reach out to the company directly too.

I am working with the technology in Latin America it is a reality, the process is simple and it is the only technology that removes very efficiently in one single process CO2, SO2, NOx and PMs using sea water if need further info my email is mmorton@prodigy.net.mx I will be glad talk to you or to tell you to whom to talk to.

Hello Gustavo. I'm curious if you happen to know what gases are in the vent stream from the ULF treatment process? I sent you an email earlier and would be interested to speak to you. Regards! ACB

To my knowlegde, electrolysis of the seawater (which contains NaCl) will produce chlorine gas (Cl2) which is quite toxic. Also they claim that the CO2 in the water will be absorbed as carbonic acid, and later binds to the calcium ions in seawater to form the more stable calciumcarbonate. I wonder if anyone knows if there will be enough calcium in the seawater to absorb all the scrubbed CO2. Thanks in advance

It is hard to beleive, Ok for the SOx and the PM they will be wash down with the water as any scrubber do but for the CO2...
The chemical reaction involved in this 'Voodoo' system are not supported scientifically. Any one who claimed to magnetised the sea water to 'line-up' the molecules or change the chemical property of the water loose all credibility in my book...
Magnetising water systems has been around for years and this pseudoscience has been claiming to reduce calcium deposition, corrosion and now it is absorbing CO2. But in reality all those systems has been proven as ineffective than costly.
Using a scrubber to clean Diesel engine exhaust gas and throw-it back to the ocean without any impact on the environnement...well let me say I would not eat the fish that live in it.
