MTU to present IMO Tier III solutions at SMM

MTU advances SCR technology to meet IMO Tier III MTU will be presenting its propulsion and systems portfolio for yachts, merchant vessels and navy ships at the international maritime trade fair SMM from September 9-12, 2014.MTU, the core company of the Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG, will be showing innovative concepts at Stand 305 in Hall A3 in response to the IMO Tier III emission standard which is due to come into force in 2016 . "MTU is well-prepared for IMO Tier III, be it with SCR exhaust aftertreatment systems for diesel engines or with gas engines", explains Dr. Michael Haidinger, Chief Sales Officer at Rolls-Royce Power Systems.Customers benefit from a perfectly integrated concept for IMO Tier III comprising an MTU drive and SCR system which need little space and offer an excellent power-to-weight ratio. Tailor-made services with individualized maintenance intervals round off the customer experience. In an animated presentation, MTU will also be demonstrating the latest fast-running Series 4000 gas engine based on its trusted 4000 M63 diesel engine which is widely used in working vessels. The first field-trial engine is scheduled to go into service in 2016 in a new environmentally-compatible tugboat. MTU's natural-gas marine engine is due to ...

Feasibility of IMO Annex VI Tier III implementation using SCR

ICCT Working Paper The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has recenlty issued a Working Paper based on a survey of technical literature and industry reports which assess equipment costs, environmental side effects, urea and catalyst availability and disposal, and the overall system costs of SCR in the marine sectorICCT paper investigates the current status of selective catalytic reduction (SCR), a technology that is key to meeting Tier III requirements. Challenges and costs of the technology, including applicability to various engine and vessel types, potential environmental side effects, urea and catalyst availability and disposal, and anticipated system costs, are discussed. Based on this evaluation of technological capabilities and history of successful application of SCR technology to maritime vessels, no substantial equipment, supply chain, or cost barriers exist that would necessitate the delay of IMO's Tier III requirements.In 2008 the Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) agreed upon progressively stricter limitations for nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from vessels based on their date of engine installation, with the strictest Tier III requirements to take effect in designated Emission Control Areas (ECA) beginning in 2016. At MEPC-66 in April 2014, an amendment that would delay the introduction of ...
