IMO Tier III for NOx and SOx Emission For 2-stroke engines Tier III NOx levels in ECAs will be met by installation of a Selctive Catalytic Reactor, SCR or installation of an Exhaust Gas Recirculation, EGR system The sulphur content has an influence on the performance and design of both SCR and EGR. If it is decided always to run on low suphur fuels in ECA the design and/or running cost for EGR and SCR can be lowered. SCR and EGR can be designed for operation on HFO with the normal sulphur contents. If HFO is used in ECAs together with either EGR or SCR it is necessary to install a full flow exhaust gas scrubber to reduce the SOx.

CIMAC 2010 PAPER NO.: 186 Cutting edge technologies of UE engine for higher efficiency and environment Figure 24 shows the independent fuel water injection system and its test results. The water injection valves were installed separately from the fuel injection valves. Therefore, a large amount of water can be injected without limiting the fuel injection system capacity, and a large amount of NOx can also be reduced. However, since excessive water is still required, the water injection timing and atomizer have to be further optimized

Proposal to reduce Emission, Investments and Operational Costs The most effective countermeasures reducing emission in general is to reduce the speed of the vessel.
Proposal to reduce Emission, Investments and Operational Costs Power reduction Speed reduction 0% 0% 10% 3% 20% 6% 30% 10% 40% 14% 50% 18%
Proposal to reduce Emission, Investments and Operational Costs Tier III only for NECA It must be ensured that the motor does not exceed the limited power in Tier III mode. Could be relevant and acceptable for all type of vessels operated only partly at NECA? If Yes then is possible to apply dual certification
Proposal to reduce Emission Investments and Operational Costs Dual Certification Tier II Tier III for open Sea for NECA only
Proposal to reduce Emission, Investments and Operational Costs Adopting a limited speed for the NECA areas for Tier III will be possible of applying a reduced Tier III application i.e. EGR or SCR on engines limited in power output by NECA sailing. In mean time other possibilities and less polluted as: NECA tuning or separate water injection or water emulsification or Combination WITH the proved systems can be selected. The overall efficiency will be better and the absolute level of emission will be minimized simultaneous that the CAPEX and OPEX for the shipping companies will be considerable lower.
