Emission measurements from a urea-based SCR/oxi catalytic NO{sub x}/HC exhaust gas treatment system on board a diesel powered passenger ferry - operation after 12000 hours service

Abstract

As an extension of a previous study NO{sub x} hydrocarbons (THC), NH{sub 3} and particulate bound NH{sub 4}{sup +}, SO{sub 4}{sup 2-}, and H{sup +} measurements have been carried out on the exhaust of a 2.5 MW medium speed diesel engine on boards `MS Aurora of Helsingborg` after 12100 hours service. Two operating cases were studied: * with the exhaust gases passing a urea based SCR/oxi catalyst system (NIXHAUST), and * with the exhaust gases by-passing the NIXHAUST system (baseline case). With normal urea dosage, the NIXHAUST system reduced NO{sub x} levels by 98% and THC by 85% with low NH{sub 3} slip (< 4 ppm). Even with lower urea dosages (90% and 80% of normal) the high reductions were maintained without NH{sub 3} slip penalties. In addition, no NH{sub 4}HSO{sub 4} was detected in the particulate fraction of the exhaust at the measurement site. In comparison with the results from earlier measurement campaigns after 800 and 6000 hours operation, individual emission factors have varied somewhat (engine wear, engine service etc.) but the reduction efficiencies with the NIXHAUST system obtained have not altered significantly. 11 refs, 2 figs, 8 tabs
