MAN Diesel The responsible way in leading technology

MAN Diesel is the worlds leading designer and manufacturer of low and medium speed engines engines from MAN Diesel cover an estimated 50% of the power needed for all world trade. We develop two-stroke and four-stroke engines, auxiliary engines, turbochargers and propulsion packages that are manufactured both within the MAN Diesel Group and at our licencees. More than ever before, MAN Diesels development focus is the environmental performance of our engines. Using our unrivalled grasp of large engine technology, we aim to make our engines progressively cleaner, more powerful and more efficient. Our absolute commitment to reducing emissions while increasing fuel efficiency and power density starts with our active partnership in the emissions law making process and ends with the delivery of engines that achieve an ideal synthesis of prime mover characteristics.

MAN Diesel Emissions Technology Security for the future

SCR - the Panacaea

SCR - Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx


These developments have created immediate demand for engines with NOx emissions in the IMO Tier III range, well before 2016. Crucially, emissions upgrades are also offered for vessels already in service, as owners seek NOx compliance in ECAs and qualification for incentives.

Tailored SCR retrofit - the MAN Diesel solution


To meet demand from engines already in operation, PrimeServ, MAN Diesels global aftermarket organisation has introduced a brand new service:

Long term emissions perspective


At MAN Diesel, our policy is to guarantee the maritime industry a secure basis for the future. In terms of engine emissions the goal is to provide our customers with engines that will meet the emissions limits prescribed in the International Maritime Organisations IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI. Currently this means complying with IMO Tier II and IMO Tier III, the second and third stages of regulations governing emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

ECAs
Driving this early response is the prospect of individual countries and regions nominating so-called Emission Control Areas (ECAs) in advance of the IMO Tier III starting date. Significantly, IMO Tier III retains the same limits for emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) as IMO Tier II for vessels on the high seas. However, it prescribes far stricter limits in waters close to centres of population like landlocked seas, restricted sea lanes and straits, harbour approaches

OEM Competence in the retrofit market


With MAN Diesel PrimeServ as your main contractor, your NOx issue gets the expert attention it deserves. Correctly designed and under the right operating conditions, SCR is capable of reducing NOx emissions to Tier III compliant levels without substantially affecting engine fuel consumption and performance.

However, since the majority of marine engines run on heavy fuel oils (HFO) with high sulphur content, the reliable operation of SCR presents a number of challenges. For example, without specific modifications, catalyst performance can be severely impaired or damage caused to the catalyst core. The necessary countermeasures are best designed and executed by the engine builder, taking advantage of the fund of knowledge which comes from designing and developing complete engines.

Full ahead to IMO Tiers II and III


With this security of supply in mind, MAN Diesel announced its full range of IMO Tier II compliant low and medium speed diesels in 2008 a full shipbuilding cycle ahead of IMO Tier IIs 2011 introduction. Now, to give the shipping industry clear, long term perspectives, MAN Diesel is offering solutions for compliance with IMO Tier III, even further ahead of its 2016 implementation date.

Incentives
In addition to the early designation of ECAs, a number of National Governments are now offering incentives to ships operating at reduced NOx emissions in their territorial waters.

SCR in Operation

Exhaust gas temperature


The main components of an SCR system are the reactor containing a number of catalyst cores, the urea supply system comprising tank, pump and dosing unit and a control unit . According to the application a NOx measuring system may be included to achieve closed loop control of urea injection. Also referred to as a "wastegate" this device is designed to maintain the engine exhaust gas temperature at a level which prevents the deposits of sulphates which can mask the catalyst and adversely affect the NOx conversion efficiency of the SCR system. In the case of MAN Diesel medium speed engines running on HFO with standard sulphur content, this system is augmented by a turbocharger bypass.

The MAN Diesel SCR retrofit system


SCR - selective catalytic reduction to give it its full name - uses a reducing agent to transform the pollutant NOx into environmentally benign nitrogen and water vapour.

Urea - the MAN Diesel solution


In the retrofit systems offered by MAN Diesel PrimeServ an aqueous urea solution is sprayed into the engine exhaust gas stream in the presence of the catalyst. Urea is safe to handle, and since its adoption in SCR systems for commercial vehicles, is produced in increasing quantities and distributed via a rapidly expanding supply infrastructure. In the hot exhaust gases the urea solution decomposes to ammonia and carbon dioxide in the following reaction: CO(NH2)2 + H2O 2NH3+ CO2
