New guidance from industry experts is simplifying emissions compliance for the maritime sector. Whether addressing OEM requirements or developing emission control solutions for upgrades, achieving compliance is becoming more accessible. Recognizing the challenges associated with Stage V Inland Waterways regulations, IMO Tier III legislation, and the standards in global Emission Control Areas (ECA), Eminox, a leading manufacturer of Emission Control Solutions, has introduced a free online Global Emissions Standards Reference Guide.
This resource is designed to assist ship builders, vessel operators, and engineers in managing emissions efficiently. James Thorpe, Eminox’s Business Development Manager, stated, “This guide has been developed to support procurement specialists and engineers in the maritime sector and is intended to be used in conjunction with the expert knowledge our team can provide.” He emphasized the difficulties in identifying suitable OEM solutions or upgrading non-compliant vessels to meet current standards. The guide aims to clarify the various compliance requirements for industry professionals.
With the guide and the backing of Eminox’s experienced team, specialists can discover efficient methods to minimize NOx and PM emissions to near-zero levels. The company’s goal is to aid maritime customers in adhering to regulations, keeping vessels operational, and extending the lifespan of older models that pre-date current emissions standards. Eminox offers a diverse range of emissions control systems that reduce exhaust gases for various power outputs, ensuring compliance with Stage V and IMO Tier III legislation for NOx and PM reduction.
These modular, scalable solutions utilize standardized components, undergo real-world testing, and can be tailored to meet specific decarbonization needs. By employing SCR technology for NOx reduction, alongside DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst) and DPF (diesel particulate filter) components for PM removal, Eminox is committed to ongoing collaboration with researchers and manufacturers to integrate alternative fuel solutions into its emission control systems. This approach facilitates a seamless transition crucial for reducing NOx emissions.
