Scrubber unit arrangement

摘要

The invention relates to a scrubber unit arrangement for cleaning exhaust gas. The arrangement comprises a scrubber unit for receiving a flow of exhaust gas, a pump means for supplying a scrubbing medium to the scrubber unit from a source of scrubbing medium, and means for discharging scrubbing medium from the scrubber unit. In order to provide an energy efficient scrubbing process, the scrubber unit arrangement further comprises a turbine unit, which is arranged to receive discharged scrubbing medium from the scrubber unit. Scrubbed exhaust gas is separately discharged from the scrubber unit.
