provide valuable insight on the system behaviour. This assists the<br />
development in early phases of the development and enables an<br />
efficient optimisation. Development time and costs are therefore<br />
reduced. The paper provides a survey over the physical and chemical<br />
models which have been developed for the description of all<br />
relevant phenomena involved in the spray preparation, including<br />
the spray evaporation and the thermolysis, the spray-wall interaction<br />
and the wall film formation. The developed models have<br />
been implemented into a commercial CFD code and validated<br />
by experimental investigations of the individual effects. The developed<br />
method is then applied for the investigation of the spray<br />
preparation and ammonia uniformity in SCR-systems as well as to<br />
evaluate the risk of deposit formation. The paper shows the CFDaided<br />
development of an ultra-compact inter-turbine SCR system<br />
for a medium-speed ship engine fulfilling IMO-III and describes<br />
the applied methods. The emphasis of the investigations was the<br />
optimisation of the ammonia uniformity at the SCR-catalyst. Furthermore<br />
the spray behaviour and the risk of deposit formation in<br />
the exhaust pipes have been evaluated. Based on the results of the<br />
CFD-investigations and on the design of the SCR-System, engine<br />
tests will be performed to prove the performance of the SCR systems<br />
under real life conditions.<br />
Emission monitoring – development of predictive<br />
emission monitoring<br />

Emission monitoring plays a key role in the trend towards lower<br />
emissions. Regulators want to ensure that the set emission limits<br />
are followed and need a means of monitoring the performance of<br />
the installations. Emission control technology, such as SCR, use<br />
emission measurements in order to tune the process to the correct<br />
operating point. In addition, record keeping and reporting of<br />
emissions e.g. in annual reports is a means of providing visibility<br />
and importance to emissions. Exhaust gas from diesel engines has<br />
proven challenging for emission monitoring systems. Even systems<br />
developed for use in harsh conditions, such as in coal-fired<br />
power plants, often do not perform adequately when measuring<br />
from diesel engines operating on heavy fuel oil. Cold-dry systems<br />
where the exhaust is cooled down to remove moisture and<br />
acidic components typically require frequent attention in longterm<br />
continuous operation. In-situ systems as well as hot-wet extractive<br />
systems require less maintenance, but are typically more<br />
costly. This article will discuss experience from emission monitoring<br />
equipment installed after diesel engines. Predictive emission<br />
monitoring is an alternative to traditional analyser-based<br />
emission monitoring, which can provide both cost-efficient and<br />
robust monitoring. Instead of directly monitoring the emissions<br />
in the exhaust gas from the process, PEMS monitors process parameters<br />
and can, based on the state of the process, provide estimates<br />
of the emissions. There are both first principle models and<br />
empirical models for calculating emissions from a combustion<br />
process. First principle models are well aimed at understanding<br />
the underlying physics in the process and for understanding how<br />
process changes will influence the emissions. Empirical models<br />
utilise recorded process data to generate a model of the emission<br />
performance of the process. Wärtsilä has performed field tests of<br />
an empirical PEMS as a replacement for analyser based solutions<br />
on a Wärtsilä 38 engine. Evaluation of paired emission and process<br />
data together with the field test results for NOx modelling are<br />
encouraging and highlight PEMS as a powerful tool for emission<br />
monitoring. Being cost efficient, PEMS also opens up the possibility<br />
for emission monitoring in applications where analyser-based<br />
systems are not feasible.<br />

The regulations governing marine diesel engine NOx emission in<br />
the IMO emission standards have become more stringent. Because<br />
it is difficult to fulfil these requirements by means of combustion<br />
improvement alone, effective aftertreatment technology is needed<br />
to achieve efficient NOx reduction. Here, we propose an effective<br />
PM and NOx simultaneous reduction aftertreatment system that<br />
employs a nonthermal plasma (NTP) hybrid process. Compared<br />
with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), the proposed technology<br />
offers the advantage of treatment at a low temperature of less than<br />
150°C, without the use of urea solution and harmful heavy metal<br />
catalysts. First, laboratory-scale experiments are performed with<br />
a stationary diesel generator (YDG200VS-6E, YANMAR Co, Ltd,<br />
Japan) (specifications: single cylinder; rotating speed, 3600 rpm;<br />
and maximum output power, 2.0 kW). Marine diesel oil (MDO,<br />
sulphur = 0.067 mass%) is used as a fuel. The system mainly consists<br />
of a marine diesel engine, an adsorption chamber containing<br />
adsorbent pellets that can adsorb/desorb NOx in an exhaust<br />
gas by controlling their temperature, an NTP reactor, and a diesel<br />
particulate filter (DPF). Whole exhaust gas flows to the system at<br />
300 NL/min. The aftertreatment comprises (a) adsorption, (b)<br />
desorption, and (c) cooling processes. In the adsorption process,<br />
an exhaust gas first passes through a DPF, where particulate matter<br />
is removed. Subsequently, the gas is cooled by an air-cooling<br />
radiator and then passes through an adsorption chamber where<br />
NOx is removed by adsorption. The mass flow rate of these gases is<br />
measured at the exit of the chamber by a NOx analyser. The clean<br />
gas then flows out of the system. In the desorption process, the exhaust<br />
gas first passes through a heat exchanger integrated into the<br />
adsorption chamber, where it heats the adsorbent pellets to induce<br />
thermal desorption of NOx. Simultaneously, N2 gas is supplied<br />
to the pellets at 10 NL/min. Then, NOx is eluted. The NOx + N 2<br />
gas is subsequently reduced to N 2<br />
using the NTP reactor. The NOx<br />
concentration is measured after the confluence of the exhaust gas<br />
and the reduced gas. In the cooling process, the remaining NOx<br />
in the pellets is desorbed by introducing air into the adsorption<br />
chamber at 50 NL/min with the help of the residual heat. The desorbed<br />
NOx is recirculated into the intake of the engine to enhance<br />
total NOx reduction. Based on the measured NOx concentrations<br />
and the power consumptions for NTP generation, adsorbed NOx<br />
in the adsorption process, and desorbed NOx and treated NOx in<br />
the desorption and cooling processes are found. Considering these<br />
obtained values, the energy efficiencies upon NOx removal are calculated<br />
and the performance of the system is evaluated.<br />
