Desulphur - A new Desulphurisation TechniqueTecnoVeritas
This Presentations intends to present a new technique of Desulphurisation, a revolutionary product to help the environment and the marine/ shore industry.
The move toward using liquid natural gas (LNG) as a propulsion fuel is continuing to gain momentum as new environmental regulations are enacted and facilities are expanded. LNG propulsion holds the potential to disrupt the largely value chain of maritime and similarly commoditized fuel industry. As such, LNG propulsion is enjoying high awareness across the industries as established positions in the market may be challenged and convergence may enable entirely new key players. This may facilitate a new business eco-system of independent entities.
However, due to imposed regulations from IMO and MARPOL, a need for technologies to clean or eliminate vessel propulsion exhaust has emerged. Though promising prospects, LNG propulsion is fairly an infantile technology in shipping, i.e. progress is needed in infrastructure facilities and bunkering etc., in order to further build and mature the market. Despite a need for extensive modifications to retrofit LNG in vessels, it is an attractive compliance option.
Europe yards have already somewhat proven track record, while Asian yards are rapidly mobilising to accommodate the rising demand. LNG propulsion has developed steadily over time and is to this day applicable across large variety of engine types. Of the key engine manufacturers especially Rolls Royce, Wartsilla, and Man Diesel are active in the market and already produce a variety of commercially proven models.
This reports majorly seeks to present the compliance options for fuel industry, namely, the use of low sulphur fuels, installation of scrubbers and utilization of LNG as propulsion fuel. LNG production/ supply is believed to sufficient to oblige the needed quantities to propel the forecasted penetration in fleet and geographical spread. Yards are generally mobilising to build capacity, know-how and to deliver according to demand at present. The success of LNG propulsion technology and its penetration in the market, is determined by timing, as the infrastructure availability and market potential must be aligned.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST GAS EMISSIONS
A diesel engine is a type of internal-combustion engine in
which atomized oil fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and
ignited by the heat generated by compression. Diesel
engines are efficient with low CO2, CO and HC emissions.
However the emissions are high in NOX.
Additionally marine engines use residual bunker fuels which
contain sulphur, asphaltenes and ash. Due to these
components in the fuel, exhaust emissions contain SOX and
particulate matter which are formed during the combustion
process.

6. NOX EMISSIONS:
Fuel is injected at high pressure (through fuel injectors which
atomize the fuel) into the combustion chamber towards the end
of the compression stroke. The fuel ignites, thereby increasing
the pressure in the combustion chamber and pushes the piston
downward on the power stroke. When the fuel ignites, the flame
front travels rapidly into the combustion space and uses the
compressed air to sustain the ignition. Temperatures at the
envelope of the flame can exceed 1300 degrees C, although the
mean bulk temperatures in the combustion chamber are much
lower. At these localized high temperatures molecular nitrogen in
the combustion air is oxidized and nitrogen oxides (NOX) are
formed in the combustion chamber. Oxidation of molecular
nitrogen in the combustion air comprises of about 90% of all
NOX, the other 10% is the result of oxidation of the organic
nitrogen present in the residual fuel oil.

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is allowed provided it meets the applicable
sulfur limit (i.e., there is no mandate to use distillate fuels).
Alternative measures are also allowed (in the SOx ECAs and
globally) to reduce sulfur emissions, such as through the use of
scrubbers. For example, in lieu of using the 1.5% S fuel in SOx
ECAs, ships can fit an exhaust gas cleaning system or use any
other technological method to limit SOx emissions to ≤ 6 g/kWh
(as SO2).

20. GHG Emissions
MARPOL Annex VI, Chapter 4 introduces two mandatory mechanisms
intended to ensure an energy efficiency standard for ships:
(1) the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), for new ships, and
(2) the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) for all
ships.
1. The EEDI is a performance-based mechanism that requires a
certain minimum energy efficiency in new ships. Ship designers and
builders are free to choose the technologies to satisfy the EEDI
requirements in a specific ship design.
2. The SEEMP establishes a mechanism for operators to improve the
energy efficiency of ships.
The regulations apply to all ships of and above 400 gross tonnage and
enter into force from 1 January 2013. Flexibilities exist in the initial
period of up to six and a half years after the entry into force, when the
IMO may waive the requirement to comply with the EEDI for certain
new ships, such as those that are already under construction.

24. 2. Basic internal engine modification technique
– slide valves
The most wide-spread internal engine modification technique
involves the exchange of conventional fuel valves with low-
NOX slide valves. Slide valves can only be delivered for MAN
B&W 2-stroke engines, but the modification of the spray
pattern can be implemented on any injection nozzle. Slide
valves are designed to optimise spray distribution in the
combustion chamber, which results in somewhat lower heat
release than the conventional fuel valves, which gives a
considerable reduction of NOX emissions.
Reduction efficiency:
The slide valves will reduce the NOx emissions by 20 %. On a
longer time perspective higher reduction may be possible.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
9/23/2014 24
25. 3. ENGINE TUNING OR OPERATIONAL MODE
i. Engine Timing
- In the case of compression ignition (diesel) engines and on spark
ignition (gasoline) engines, timing of the fuel ignition is set a few crank
degrees before the TDC. In diesel engines this means that the
beginning of fuel injection is started before the TDC on the power
stroke.
- The advance angle before the top dead center is the pre-ignition
angle and is mainly a function of the fuel type and the speed of rotation.
Normally, Engine manufacturers optimize this pre-ignition angle for fuel
economy and reliability of the engine components.
- Retarding the injection timing can lead to lower peak temperatures in
the combustion chamber and thus lower NOX emissions. In some
engines this timing can be adjusted in service while in others this
adjustment is a major undertaking. The NOX reduction potential is
limited (about 2-3%) and the trade-off is fuel economy.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
9/23/2014 25
26. ii. Operational Mode
With the advent of electronically controlled engines where
the fuel injector is controlled by electronic means, fuel
injection rate shaping is possible. This fuel injection
shaping rate can be optimized for fuel economy or low NOX
emissions and selecting between the two modes of
operation is a control panel function and is done in service.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
9/23/2014 26
27. 4. HARDWARE DESIGN MODIFICATIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS
O ver the last several years with the aid of advanced analytical tools such
as computational fluid dynamics, engine manufacturers have conducted
extensive research into the combustion process which led to lower
emissions:
-Optimizing engine inlet valve,
- exhaust valve and fuel injection timing,
- injection pressure,
- injection pattern,
- lowering excess air ratio,
- lowering scavenge temperature,
- modifying the combustion chamber geometry.
It is estimated that these measures will reduce NOX from the current levels
by 20%. Further decrease in NOX will require conditioning the fuel and/or
the combustion air.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
9/23/2014 27
28. 5. Direct water injection (DWI)
Direct water injection (DWI) technology can reduce NOX emissions
from marine engines by 40 to 60%, through the injection of a high-pressurized
fine water mist into the combustion chamber [2].
Reductions in PM (smoke) emissions also occur. Water injection occurs
separately from (and just prior to) fuel injection in the combustion cycle,
cooling the cylinder and reducing NOX formation.
DWI technology uses clean water injected independently into the
marine engine combustion chamber close to the injected fuel to reduce
NOX formation. The system employs a uniquely designed combined
fuel-water injection valve and nozzle mounted on each cylinder of the
engine. Each nozzle has two separate needles for fuel and water,
which are controlled separately. The water to fuel ratio usually ranges
from 40 to 70% and this can reduce NOX emissions by up to about 50
to 60%. Therefore, on mediumspeed engines using IFO or HFO, DWI
produces NOX emissions levels typically in the range of 5 to 7 g/kWh
Reduction efficiency:
The NOx reduction efficiency has been showed to be 50 - 60 %. MAN B&W has
achieved 20 - 30 % while there are 9/23/2014 reports on lower reductions for other systems28.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
29. Operating Principle:
Like any other of the water-fuel technologies, DWI reduces NOX by lowering the
initial temperature of the fuel combustion. In the injection sequence, water injection
occurs before the fuel injection, resulting in a cooler combustion chamber prior to
fuel combustion. The system is designed to operate at high water injection
pressures (21 MPa to 50 MPa depending on the engine) to properly atomize the
water stream after injection. The water injection stops before the fuel injection, so
that the fuel ignition and combustion process is not compromised. The NOX
reduction effect increases in a roughly linear relationship with increasing water-fuel
ratios.

30. 6. Continuous Water Injection to Charge Air (CWI)
Continuous water injection (CWI) to the charge air is a relatively
simple method of reducing NOX by up to 30% and PM emissions
by about 25%, without engine modifications.
Operating Principle:
A fine, freshwater mist is injected directly into the hot
compressed air of the turbocharger outlet. CWI achieved a 22%
reduction in NOX and an average reduction in specific fuel
consumption of 1%, which resulted in a net saving of
approximately $143 per tonne of NOX reduced. CWI is not
recommended at water-fuel ratios above 25% due to expected
fuel consumption penalties.
NOX emissions reductions follow a negative exponential pattern
with increasing water-fuel ratios. In Figure 2 the NOX reductions
are represented by the ratio of the controlled NOX formation rate
constant (K) to the uncontrolled NOX formation rate constant
(Ko).

31. Fig. 4. Continuous Water Injection System Schematic Diagram
The greatest NOX reductions occur at the lowest water-fuel ratios
(slope of line is high) and reductions diminish at higher ratios (slope
is lower). At low water-fuel ratios (below about 25%), the presence
of the water acts to improve the combustion kinetics, which results
in a slight decrease in specific fuel consumption.

Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.

32. Fig. 2. Theoretical NOX Reductions from Water Injection
However, above 25% water-fuel ratio, the water content starts to
interfere with the combustion process and specific fuel consumption
increases. Figure 3 shows that the optimum specific fuel consumption
is theoretically achieved at a water-fuel ratio of approximately 10%, and
that fuel penalties start occurring above 25%.

33. 7. Fuel-Water Emulsions (FWE)
Fuel-water emulsion (FWE) systems c an reduce NOX formation in marine
diesel engines by 30 to 60% by intimately mixing water into the fuel oil.
The resulting dispersion of microfine water droplets in fuel is injected
normally into the engine cylinders. A significant benefit of FWE systems is
a drastic reduction of PM emissions (smoke ) and lower engine soot
deposition.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
Fig. 5. Fuel-water Emulsion System Schematic Diagram 9/23/2014 33
34. FWE Operating Principle:
Fuel and water flow separately through a dosing control
unit and enter the homogenizer. The homogenizer unit first
creates a fine emulsion by shearing the fuel and water with
an electrically-driven mechanical mixer, the only moving
component of the system. The most common
homogenizers currently employ electronic transducers to
impart ultrasonic energy to the FWE to create microfine
emulsions, which have a high degree of stability. Ultrasonic
cavitation reduces water droplet size by almost an order of
magnitude. A water-content meter installed before the
engine injection controls the flows of water into the dosing
unit.

35. 8. Humid Air Motor (HAM)
The Humid Air Motor (HAM) system is a recent technology
that uses combustion air almost entirely saturated with
water vapour (humid air) in a marine diesel engine [3]. The
charge air is humidified by water vapour produced in a
humidification vessel by evaporating freshwater or
seawater directly into the charge air using the heat from the
engine or its exhaust gases.
NOX emissions reductions of 60 to 80% have been
achieved in demonstration tests.
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
9/23/2014 35
36. Operating Principle
The HAM system is based on the same general principle of the other
technologies that add water to the combustion chamber: the presence of water
reduces NOX formation in the cylinder. The key difference is that the water is
completely evaporated into the combustion air and mixed thoroughly prior to
getting to the cylinders.
After contacting with water in the humidification vessel, the relative humidity of
the combustion air is close to 100% saturation.
The presence of water vapour acts to change the thermodynamic properties of
the combustion air. The evaporation of water from liquid to vapour is an energy-consuming
process that reduces the temperature of the compressed air. The
HAM system can be used to replace the turbocharger intercooler. It is capable
of reducing typical charge air temperatures to 70°C versus 50°C for
conventional intercoolers . The saturated humid air has almost twice the heat
capacity of dry air. This allows more of the initial heat generated in the
compression cycle to be absorbed, reducing NOX formation. The presence of
water vapour also dilutes the combustion air. Since the concentration of oxygen
in the cylinder is reduced, there is lower excess oxygen and a reduced
tendency for NOX formation. Another advantage of using water vapour is that it
is mixed completely in the saturated air, producing no local “hot spots” in the
cylinder. This contributes to a uniform combustion process.

38. 9. scavenge air moisturising system (SAM)
The SAM system has a seawater injection stage, where a
surplus of seawater is injected for saturation and cooling of the
hot air from the compressor. The sea water stage will provide a
near 100% humidification of the scavenge air and supply all of
the water for humidification.
The SAM system from Man B&W and the WetPac from Wärtsiä
are in principle the same techniques as HAM. The SAM system
reduces NOx emissions by spraying sea and fresh water into the
hot scavenging air for cooling and humification of it. The water
injection takes place in three stages. First sea water is used for
humification and cooling and then two fresh water stages for
removal of any salt from the scavenging.
The scavenging air will be fully saturated. From each of the
stages, surplus water will be drained back into three different
tanks.

Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.

40. Reduction efficiency:
The reduction efficiency of HAM is reported to be 70 – 85
%. The latest measurements on Mariellas four engines
have shown emissions on the main engines to be reduced
from 17 to between 2.2 and 2.6 g/kWh. For the Wetpac
method the reduction efficiency is reported to be equal to
50 % below the present IMO NOx curve, equal to 7
g/kWh. For SAM 30-40 % reduction is expected, but since
it is still under testing, these levels may be somewhat
uncertain.

41. 10. Exhaust gas recirculation
When a small percentage of e xhaust gas is introduced into
the combustion air, the oxygen purity of the combustion air
is reduced leading to lower NOX emissions. This system is
widely employed on smaller car and truck engines

42. Various arrangements have been tested for recirculation, including
internal recirculation in 2-stroke engines by timing adjustment, hot and
cold exhaust recirculation from the high and low pressure side of
exhaust gas turbocharger. This system is an effective means of NOX
reduction. With a 20% EGR NOX reduction is in the order of 50% with
very little fuel consumption penalty.
Operating Procedure:
In an EGR system, exhaust gases from the engine pass through the
turbocharger, releasing energy to compress the incoming combustion
air. The temperature and pressure of the gases are reduced
considerably. A portion of the exhaust gases is recirculated back and is
added to the compressed air before the cylinder. Particulate filters are
used to remove entrained solids prior to mixture with the combustion
air. The exhaust slipstream flow is carefully controlled to adjust for
engine load changes. The lower temperature of the exhaust gases
contributes to a cooler combustion. The increased mass flow increases
the combustion pressure and dilutes the oxygen content. All these
effects contribute to lower NOX formation.

Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.

43. 11. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
An SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) unit is an effective
means of conditioning the exhaust gas after the combustion
process for reducing NOX already formed in the combustion
process.
The process essentially involves injecting ammonia in the
exhaust stream and in the presence of a catalyst the NOX reacts
with the ammonia and forms water vapor and nitrogen. Due to
the hazardous properties of ammonia, urea solution is generally
used to provide the required ammonia.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the only technology that
controls NOX emissions in the exhaust gas after they have been
generated. SCR is capable of reducing NOX emissions by up to
99% by reacting NOX with ammonia (from a urea solution) over
a catalyst in the hot exhaust gases of marine engines. Inert
nitrogen and water are produced in the reaction. HC and CO are
also reduced significantly, but PM and SOX are uncontrolled.
9/23/2014 43
Mohd. Hanif Dewan, Chief Engineer and
Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.
44. Operating Principle
SCR is based on a reaction between urea - decomposed to ammonia
(NH3) - and NOx in the flue gas over a catalyst. NOx is then reduced to
nitrogen (N2). Urea solution is injected into the hot flue gas after the
combustion. SCR can be installed in or after any type of motor, as long as
the flue gas temperature is in the specified temperature interval, from 270
oC up to 500 oC, usually around 320 oC. The urea injection is automatically
tuned to power changes in the engine.
Once the urea solution is vapourized in the hot exhaust gases, it
immediately decays to ammonia and CO2 and the following two reduction
reactions convert the NOX to nitrogen and water:
4NO + 4NH3 + O2 ----------> 4N2 + 6H2O
6NO2 + 8NH3 ----------> 7N2 + 12H2O
The catalyst is made from titanium oxide and vanadium oxide and consists
of small exchangeable units (monolites of extruded ceramics).

45. Fig: Selective Catalytic Reduction Schematic Diagram
Reduction efficiency for NOx :
Technically it is possible to reach 95 % or even higher reduction.
However, the NOx reduction efficiency of the SCR is often
operated to reach around 90 %. The efficiency is dependent on
the urea flow. To achieve 90 % NOx reduction approximately 15 g
urea is needed per kWh energy from the engine. The engine may
be fuel-optimised, so that the fuel consumption is minimised to
the cost of somewhat higher NOx emission. In this way lower
fuel consumption can be combined with low NOx emissions.

Wet scrubbers:
More conventional ones as used in land-based power
stations.
Small ones are routinely used on oil tankers for IG scrubbing.
Two types:
• Sea water (open loop) scrubber
• Fresh water (closed loop)
• Hybrid of the above
Needs water treatment plant and other auxiliaries
Dry scrubbers:
They rely on dry material such as Caustic Soda (NaOH) to
absorb SOx:
• NaOH + SO2 → Na2SO3 + H2O
• NaOH + SO2 + O2 → Na2SO4 + H2O
Needs supply of these materials to ships.

49. Open Loop Scrubber System
salt water scrubbing is a open system. It is considered to be a cost-effective
readily available technique. The main principle is that warm
exhaust gases are mixed in a cascade of salt water and the SO2 in the
exhaust is caught in the slightly alkaline salt water. The water is re-circulated
and particles are separated in a settling tank. The sludge is
later disposed. Filtered and used sea water is brought back to the sea.
However, there are discussions of the quality of the used water and
how it should be treated. Due to formation of sulphuric acid in the
scrubber, corrosion problems may arise.
Closed Loop Scrubber System
The system operates in a closed loop, i.e. the wash water is being
circulated within the scrubber. Exhaust gas enters the scrubber and is
sprayed with fresh water that has been mixed with caustic soda
(NaOH). The SOX in the exhaust react with this mixture and are
thereby neutralised.

Maritime Lecturer & Trainer, Bangladesh.

50. From the closed loop, a small bleed-off is extracted and
treated to fulfill requirements stipulated by the IMO.
Cleaned effluents can be safely discharged overboard with
no harm to the environment.
Reduction efficiency:
Using a fuel with 2.5 % sulphur, a reduction of the SO2
emissions from around 70 to over 90 % is possible. The
efficiency depends on contact time between sea water and
exhaust gases, but also the salt concentration and the
temperature may influence the reduction.
