Objectives

• Measure the criteria pollutant emissions from ocean-going vessel main engines using the certification (ISO) cycles

• Measure emissions during typical operations, maneuvering, and vessel speed reduction modes

www.cert.ucr.edu

Approach: Determining Emission Factors

• Engine conditions– Follow ISO 8178-4 E3 marine cycle for comparison with other data.– Actual in-use operation.

• Gases monitored by ISO/EPA methods– NOx Chemiluminescence detector – CO,CO2 Non dispersive infrared– HCs GC/FID– SO2 Calculate from fuel

• Particulate matter (PM)– Use ISO 8178-1 partial dilution method & – real-time methods

• Emission factor determined from engine settings & calculated mass flow.

Current Work• Assessing emissions from OGV main engines using low sulfur

fuels [marine distillate oil (MDO) and marine gas oil (MGO)]

• Chemical characterization of PM as a function of particle size [emission inventories, dispersion models]

• Comprehensive testing of Panamax main engine using water/HFO emulsification system

• On-going development of OGV PM emissions measurement techniques [MOUDI, DMM, DusTrak, SMPS, TEM]

• Assessing emissions from auxiliary engines and boilers on ocean-going vessels

www.cert.ucr.edu

Summary• Developed suitable monitoring equipment for criteria

pollutants and speciated fractions

• Gaseous emission factors are repeatable and match manufacturer values

• Independent measurements show total PM mass and sum of compositional masses are equal and agree with manufacturer’s values

• On-going studies of fuels, PM characterization and sampling techniques
