     - Closed loop mode: 100%
     - Open loop mode: 0% (where washwater discharge is forbidden, vessels are forced to shift from HFO to LSF)
     - Hybrid Mode (i.e. it can work both in Closed and Open mode): vessels must work in closed mode only where
       washwater discharge is forbidden (e.g. at berth or mooring)..

    owners and                          • Comparable SOx reduction rate
    operators are
                                        • Higher particle removal rate (> 99 %)
     • Flexibility to use
       cheaper HFO                      • No liquid effluents
       even when                        • Less internal power consumption

       for the global                   • Negligible effect on backpressure
       regulation in 2020                 to the engine
       and beyond
                                        • Smaller effort for maintenance and
                                          operation thanks to simplicity of the
