To scrub veut dire frotter, nettoyer. Ce sont les Français en adoptant ce mot qui lui on donné le sens restreint de nettoyer d’une certaine façon (par lavage, comme décrit ci-dessus). Le Comité estime donc que les mots scrubber, to scrub et scrubbing sont inutiles et peuvent être remplacés par tour de lavage, laver et lavage. 2, record 1, French, - tour%20de%20lavage

The two basic types of exhaust gas scrubbers are an open-loop scrubber that uses seawater as wash water or a closed-loop scrubber that circulates the wash water and requires alkali to be added to the process to capture sulfur. The hybrid scrubber is a new-generation solution that can easily switch between the open- and closed-loop operation modes. 2, record 2, English, - hybrid%20exhaust%20gas%20cleaning%20system

Les épurateurs sont des appareils qui «lavent» les gaz d’échappement des navires et en retirent certaines particules ou certains gaz, en l'occurrence les oxydes de soufre. L'eau de lavage qui en résulte peut être collectée à bord(épurateurs en boucle fermée) ou rejetée en pleine mer(épurateurs en boucle ouverte), tandis que les épurateurs hybrides peuvent alterner entre les modes ouvert et fermé. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9purateur%20hybride

Closed-loop scrubbers typically utilize alkaline-dosed seawater to scrub the exhaust gas. A closed-loop scrubber only requires half the amount of water to clean the exhaust gas streams than that of its open-loop scrubber counterpart, making it more energy-efficient. 2, record 3, English, - closed%20loop%20exhaust%20gas%20cleaning%20system

An open-loop scrubber utilizes seawater to scrub the exhaust gases. Thus, this method exploits the natural chemical composition of seawater. The seawater is pumped into and fed to the exhaust gas cleaning system, and afterward, it is discharged. 2, record 4, English, - open%20loop%20exhaust%20gas%20cleaning%20system
