LiqTech International, Inc., a high-tech filtration company specializing in advanced filtration products and systems for marine applications, has announced a partnership with Danbee Marine, a South Korean-based maritime representative. This agreement will see Danbee Marine marketing LiqTech’s marine scrubber water treatment solutions in South Korea, the world’s second-largest shipbuilding market after China.
Founded in 2009, Danbee Marine has been dedicated to providing fuel treatment chemicals to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions in the Korean maritime sector. With a strong foothold among major ship owners and shipyards and deep expertise in marine engineering and equipment, Danbee Marine is well-positioned to integrate LiqTech’s compact and efficient marine scrubber water treatment systems into its offerings.
LiqTech’s marine scrubber water treatment system, designed for both closed-loop and hybrid scrubbers, exceeds the discharge limits set by the IMO MARPOL Annex VI regulations. These solutions effectively remove unburned fuel oil, soot particles, ash, and heavy metals from marine scrubber wastewater, contributing to global pollution reduction.
Since the company’s first marine installations in 2017, LiqTech has successfully implemented retrofit and new-build marine scrubber water treatment systems on over 170 large commercial vessels for some of the world’s largest ship owners. The integration of LiqTech’s water treatment units has also led to significant fuel savings and improved return on investment for ship owners.
Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech International, commented, “We are thrilled to expand our footprint in the Korean shipbuilding market through this partnership with Danbee Marine, who has a robust network within South Korea’s maritime industry. While we have previously engaged with a few key customers, including Hyundai Merchant Marine, this collaboration with Danbee will enable us to achieve broader market coverage. We look forward to working with Danbee’s skilled team to deliver our advanced marine scrubber water treatment solutions, helping South Korean ship owners and builders meet regulatory requirements.”
