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 />
