The document summarizes two papers on NOx abatement techniques for marine applications using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Paper I studied how sulfur dioxide, water, and low temperatures affect SCR catalyst performance. It found that SO2 and water can both decrease NOx reduction at high concentrations, low temperatures, and high space velocities. Paper II identified challenges with SCR installations regarding incentives, design issues, urea quality, and lack of operator training. Overall, SCR can efficiently reduce NOx but risks of deactivation need to be avoided through proper system design, operation, and training. Future work should study different urea types and varying diesel exhaust compositions.
