[0003] Existing container ships do not have sulfur emission treatment devices. With the increasingly stringent control of sulfur emissions by the International Maritime Organization, this has forced previously built ships to use a desulfurization device to reduce sulfur emissions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a marine desulfurization device, which aims to enable container ships without sulfur emission treatment equipment to comply with the MARPOL Convention. The technical solution adopted is:

[0005] A marine desulfurization device is provided with a desulfurization tower house above the deck and adjacent to the chimney. The desulfurization tower is located inside the desulfurization tower house, and the desulfurization tower house is divided into an upper tower house section and a lower tower house section.

[0023] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] A marine desulfurization device is provided with a desulfurization tower house above the deck of a container ship and adjacent to a chimney. The desulfurization tower is located inside the desulfurization tower house, and the desulfurization tower house is divided into an upper tower house section and a lower tower house section.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower tower section has a box-like body with an open top. It is secured to the deck via tower legs, which are truss-like structures. Four supports are fixed within the lower tower section, with reinforcing brackets secured between the supports and the side walls. The supports are fixed to the floor of the lower tower section. The desulfurization tower is secured to the interior of the tower section via the supports, which are bolted to the ear supports at the bottom of the desulfurization tower. Square pipe connection holes are provided on the side walls of the lower tower section.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper section of the tower room has a box-type main body with an open bottom. The top plate of the upper section of the tower room is provided with a circular exhaust hole and a square manhole. The smoke exhaust port at the top of the desulfurization tower corresponds to the exhaust hole. A ladder is connected under the manhole. Two shutters are arranged side by side on the side wall of the upper section of the tower room.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the side of the desulfurization tower is connected to a flue gas inlet pipe, located near the chimney. The flue gas inlet pipe is connected to the chimney through a flue gas branch pipe. One end of the flue gas branch pipe is connected to the flue gas inlet pipe, and the other end passes through the pipe connection hole and is connected to the chimney. The upper and lower sections of the tower house are connected and welded together. Multiple crossbeams are evenly spaced inside the side walls of the tower house, and the crossbeams are arranged around the tower house. Two tie rods are symmetrically arranged above the flue gas inlet pipe, one end of which is fixed to the wall of the flue gas inlet pipe and the other end is fixed to the wall of the desulfurization tower.

[0028] The tower house is set at a height of 7 meters from the deck. The height of the lower section of the tower house is 15.2 meters, and the height of the upper section of the tower house is 9.9 meters. The lower section of the tower house is installed first. After the lower section of the tower house is installed, the desulfurization tower is hoisted to the interior of the lower section of the tower house and fixed. The overall height of the desulfurization tower is 13 meters and the overall width is 8 meters. After the desulfurization tower is fixed, the upper section of the tower house is installed, and the upper section of the tower house is connected to the lower section of the tower house and welded into one.

[0029] A smoke exhaust branch is added to the original ship's smoke exhaust pipe to lead the exhaust gas to the smoke inlet pipe of the scrubbing tower. The smoke passes through two layers of filler for filtration and adsorption, and is fully contacted and mixed with two layers of sprayed seawater from top to bottom. The sulfur oxides in the smoke are removed. The treated clean smoke continues to go upward and is discharged into the atmosphere from the exhaust hole at the top of the desulfurization tower. The washed residue flows into the waste residue tank through the open connection pipe at the bottom.

[0030] The seawater used for treatment is sucked in from a newly added seabed door at the bottom of the engine room. A circulating pump transports the seawater through the GRE pipe to the desulfurization tower for spraying. The seawater is used to wash and neutralize the sulfides in the flue gas to achieve the purpose of desulfurization. After the flue gas passes the gas detection system, it is discharged into the atmosphere, thereby achieving the purpose of desulfurization and reducing pollution.
