1 Emission Control Technology for Marine Applications

2 IMO MARPOL VI: Stage TIER III From TIER I to Tier II engine modifications are sufficient From TIER II to Tier III engine modifications are no longer sufficient and emission technology is required The challenge is NO X reduction: the most obvious solution is SCR technology

3 SCR catalyst Engine Urea Pump Urea Doser Urea tank SCR Schematic Layout Control Unit

4 SCR Pros and Cons Emission target TIER III can be achieved for both TIER 1 and TIER II engines Can be used with diesel containing sulphur (up to 2000 PPM*) Exhaust geometry less flexible Engine can be optimized for fuel consumption Extra tank Extra technical complexity SCR technology was introduced >10 years ago in the HD market. Extra cost (investment) Over 1 500 000 installations are operational today Extra cost of ownership * Sulphur impact on system size

13 13 SCR for Superyachts

14 Superyachts have access to good quality fuel (European and American ports / marinas deliver road fuel or low sulphur fuel maximum 1000 PPM ) Facts Superyachts use mainly high speed diesel engines Annual operational hours are low 150 -200 hours for privately owned vessels 500 hours for charter vessels The average load profile is low

15 Challenge for superyachts Integration of the SCR into the silencer Space for SCR catalyst Urea mixing – Gamma over the catalyst Pressure drop Silencing capacities Maintenance and service Model from DISCOM BV Netherlands Typical exhaust for superyacht Dry exhaust bypass Wet exhaust (venturi)

16 Examples for MTU 2880 kW – SCR Silencer for Superyacht with MTU 2880 kW. Catalyst volume required +/- 422 dm³ Available volume in silencer 5422 dm³ Less then 8 % of silencer volume Expected pressure drop over the SCR catalyst 14 mBar Model from DISCOM BV Netherlands

17 17 SCR sizing versus fuel quality

18 Parameters affecting durability Sulphur from fuel and lubrication oil - Formation of ammonium bisulphate (NH4SO4) – reversible - Clogging by soot and metal sulphates - reversible/irreversible Phosphorous from lubrication oil - Phosphorous depositing in the catalyst pores – irreversible Alkali metals - Na and K react with active sites on the surface – irreversible Temperature - Sintering of the catalyst carrier – irreversible

19 Test results prove Regulated emissions are not affected with sulphur levels up to at least 350 ppm in the fuel with vanadium SCR Catalyst (tested for 4200 hours) (testcycle E3, ETC, ESC). Testing with 1200 ppm S fuel shows that NOx conversion is affected when long periods of low temperatures occur. Testing reveals good sulphur tolerance of the vanadium SCR catalyst as activity is fully recovered at increased temperature (350°C). Urea dosing strategy must be adjusted accordingly.

23 Conclusions Superyachts can be equipped with compact SCR systems that are resistant to the fuel used in this market. By using metal substrates, a high degree of freedom in design is possible and can be combined with low pressure drops. SCR systems will be effective between 20 % and 100% of engine load. Last minute roll-out / introduction / implementation will lead to systems that are neither validated nor optimized for cost. There are no other drawbacks for the technology other than economical drawbacks (space, investment, cost of ownership).
