Abstract
Disclosed is a scrubber outlet assembly, the scrubber outlet assembly comprising a pipe having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has a first portion made from a first electrically conductive material, a second portion made from a second electrically conductive material dissimilar to the first electrically conductive material, and a region comprising at least a part of the first portion and at least a part of the second portion. The scrubber outlet assembly comprises a barrier located inwardly of the inner surface of the pipe. The scrubber outlet assembly defines a flow path through the pipe along which washwater is flowable from a scrubber in use, and the barrier fluidically isolates the region from the flow path.

A scrubber outlet assembly, the scrubber outlet assembly comprising:
- a pipe having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has a first portion made from a first electrically conductive material, a second portion made from a second electrically conductive material dissimilar to the first electrically conductive material, and a region comprising at least a part of the first portion and at least a part of the second portion;
- and
- a barrier located inwardly of the inner surface of the pipe;
- wherein the scrubber outlet assembly defines a flow path through the pipe along which washwater is flowable from a scrubber in use, and wherein the barrier fluidically isolates the region from the flow path.
A scrubber outlet diffuser, the scrubber outlet diffuser comprising:
- an electrically insulative tube having a flow path through which washwater is flowable from a scrubber, in use;
- and
- a diffuser located in the tube and arranged to interrupt the flow path.
A method of assembling a scrubber outlet assembly, the method comprising:
- providing a pipe having an inner surface, wherein the inner surface has a first portion made from a first electrically conductive material, a second portion made from a second electrically conductive material dissimilar to the first electrically conductive material, and a region comprising at least a part of the first portion and at least a part of the second portion, and wherein the pipe has a flow path therethrough along which washwater is flowable from a scrubber, in use;
- and
- arranging a barrier radially inwardly of the inner surface of the pipe to fluidically isolate the region from the flow path.
A method of assembling a scrubber outlet diffuser, the method comprising:
- providing an electrically insulative tube through which washwater is flowable from a scrubber, in use;
- and
- locating a diffuser in the tube to interrupt the flow path.
