SCR principle: the same for HP and LP

1. Urea solution is dosed into the exhaust gas, to produce ammonia (NH3)ORInlet from external ammonia generator

2. It passes porous, catalytic elements…

3. NOx are reduced to nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O)

Emission picture

CO2 and SOx reduced in gas operation due to fuel composition

NOx very low with LP technology due to lower peak temperature

PM further reduced by the DF technology with lean-burn Otto combustion with pre-chamber ignition

The 2s DF reduces the total CO2(including methane slip) footprint compared to HFO

IMO MARPOL Annex 6, Regulation 13, Tier lll for dual-fuel engines

Summary - outcome MEPC 68, London, May 11-15, 2015

1) The DF engine can be certified at the same time to both Tier II standard (operations in liquid fuel only) and Tier III standard (operations in gas fuel + pilot fuel)

2) Tier III operation mode is to be certified by means of a Parent Engine test and PE is to be tested with maximum liquid-to-gas fuel ratio

3) Engine will be provided with one single Technical File and EIAPP Certificate, covering both modes of operation

4) Engine components and settings influencing NOx are to be declared in the Technical File for both modes of operation

5) As part of the onboard NOx verification procedure, replacements and adjustments of declared components and settings are to be recorded in the Record Book of Engine Parameters

6) The following data are to be recorded when the vessel is entering/exiting an NECA area:- on/off status of the engine, NOx tier - date, time and ship’s position at ECA entry/exit

7) The Technical File must include a written procedure describing how the Tier change-over is to be done

IMO MARPOL Annex 6, Regulation 13, Tier lll for dual-fuel engines

Summary - outcome MEPC 68, London, May 11-15, 2015

8) A particular issue for DF engines in case of ‘gas free’ vessel is the operation in Tier ll liquid mode. Exemption/authorization from coastal/port State are required to operate under such conditions within a NECA (examples: to/from drydock or repair location, newbuild maiden voyage, …) provided the fuel is SOx ECA compliant.

9) Operations which require the DF engine to automatically switch from gas mode to diesel mode for engine/vessel protection strategies, can be declared as Auxiliary Control Devices(ACD).Auxiliary control devices are defined in regulation 2.4 as “system, function or control strategy installed on a marine diesel engine that is used to protect the engine and/or its ancillary equipment against operating conditions that could result in damage or failure, or that is used to facilitate the starting/stopping, low load operation, manoeuvring and reversing of the engine. An auxiliary control device may also be a strategy or measure that has been satisfactorily demonstrated not to be a defeat device.”ACD for DF engines are to be identified, disclosed and declared in the Technical File.

IMO MARPOL Annex 6, Regulation 13, Tier lll for dual-fuel engines

NOx Technical Code 2008 was adapted by MEPC 66 for dual-fuel engines

Where an engine is intended to be operated normally in the gas mode, i.e. with the main fuel gas and only a small amount of liquid pilot fuel, the requirements of regulation 13 (Tier lll) have to be met only for this operation mode.

Operation on pure liquid fuel (Tier ll) resulting from restricted gas supply in cases of failures shall be exempted for the voyage to the next appropriate port for the repair of the failure.

The benefit of the LP concept

1) Meets IMO Tier III requirements without exhaust gas after-treatment due to lean burn Otto combustion process

2) Low CAPEX due to low pressure gas supply system• Low pressure equipment (pumps, compressor, evaporator,

piping, sensors, …. )• No exhaust gas after treatment required

3) Competitive OPEX due to high overall efficiency • Lower electrical power demand• Lower maintenance cost• Lower gas leakage risk

4) Full Wärtsilä Package - Complete and modularized solutions for LNG fuelled ships

5) Low pressure - The industry standardwith 4s gas engines: MAN, Cat/MAK, Rolls Royce, MTU, Mitsubishi, ...
