Abstract: A gas conditioning system removes contaminants including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides from flue gas of a marine vessel, and includes an oxidizer unit and a direct contact cooler. The oxidizer unit receives an exhaust flue gas from a marine engine through a fluid inlet, such as at a temperature between 150 degrees Celsius and 550 degrees Celsius, and converts at least a portion of the nitrogen oxides in the flue gas into nitrogen gas, nitrogen dioxide, or both. The direct contact cooler is fluidly connected to the oxidizer unit, and includes a housing defining a cooling chamber. The direct contact cooler directs the flue gas into contact with seawater residing in the cooling chamber and cools the flue gas to a temperature less than or equal to 60 degrees Celsius. The seawater removes some or all nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide from the flue gas in the cooling chamber.

Abstract: A gas conditioning system removes contaminants including carbon dioxide from flue gas, such as flue gas of a marine vessel, and includes a rotating backed bed assembly. The rotating packed bed assembly fluidly connects to an exhaust port of an engine, and receive a flue gas from the exhaust port. The rotating packed bed assembly includes a first rotating packed bed having an absorption agent to absorb a portion of the carbon dioxide from the flue gas, and a second rotating packed bed to receive the absorption agent from the first rotating packed bed and desorb at least some of the portion of the carbon dioxide from the absorption agent.
