REDUCING NOx EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS
The maritime sector is a considerable contributor to emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). NOx gases are created by burning fossil fuels, and are hazardous to human health and the environment. Together with sulphur dioxides (SOx), they’re the main cause of acid rain and they contribute to the formation of smog (ground level ozone) in urban areas, which increase the risk of asthma, allergies and lung diseases, and reduce life expectancy. New and stricter regulations by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) in the 2008 Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, apply globally. A number of countries are pursuing emission incentive schemes, and from 2016, all new ships must reduce NOx emissions with 80% sailing in an ECA (Emission Controlled Area).The Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the only presently available technology able to fulfil the new Tier III IMO regulations.The SCR technology was first introduced on stationary diesel power plants, and is now also successfully being used on heavy duty vehicles and marine engines.The NOxCare Marine exhaust gas treatment system is based on SCR technology and is applicable to all vessels types, for both new builds and retrofits and for both 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines.
Approaching Zero NOx Emissions
The NOxCare Marine exhaust gas treatment system uses a catalyst together with NOxCare 40 Marine, a high purity urea water solution, to reduce NOx. The system is installed between the engine and the exhaust outlet. The exhaust gas passes through the catalyst where the NOx is converted into harmless nitrogen and water. The NOxCare Marine system is applicable to all vessel types. It’s based on the best available technology, and offers an efficient means of reducing up to 99% of NOx emissions from your vessel.
Solution Benefits
NOxCare Marine system is a complete package of products and services, tailor-made to give cost efficient NOx abatement. The offer includes SCR design, engineering, production, installation, supervision, training of personnel, supply of NOxCare 40 Marine, spare parts and after sales services. We are the first supplier to offer a complete solution delivered worldwide.
Lower Operational Cost
With the introduction of the new IMO regulation and local environmental taxes tied to NOx emission levels, NOxCare Marine system offers a cost efficient and effective alternative. We offer training to ensure optimal operation performance on the system onboard your vessel. Our experts are on call, whenever you need them, to keep your system running smoothly. The result for you is optimal performance and lower operational cost.
Efficient NOx Reduction
The system effectively reduces up to 99% of NOx emissions and converts it into harmless water and nitrogen, without increasing fuel consumption or CO2 emissions. SCR is the only technology that offers a positive solution to the trade-off between fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels. The system helps you stay compliant with the IMO regulations.
