Cummins Inc (NYSE: CMI) today revealed its remedy for conference IMO Tier III exhausts guidelines.
The firm will certainly use tested Tier II engine modern technology as well as include a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system. An one-of-a-kind function will certainly enable the ship’s team to by hand “pause” the SCR system whenever running beyond a regulated discharge location, hence decreasing DEF (urea) use as well as costs for a reduced expense of procedure.
The dual-tier approach has an additional substantial advantage. Fleet proprietors with existing Tier II Cummins engines can just include the SCR system, alter the digital control component as well as satisfy both Tier II as well as Tier III governing criteria where ideal.
Edmonds Brown, Commercial Marine Segment Leader for Cummins kept in mind, “With 100 years of diesel experience and one of the largest commitments to research and development of any engine manufacturer, we fully examined all the alternatives. The dual-tier solution provides our customers with a proven product that has an impeccable track record of reliability, durability and efficiency. It adds emissions technology to meet IMO regulations – without waste or unnecessary complexity.”
Total expense of procedure was a crucial factor to consider, Brown included. “The reduced use of DEF is so significant that, together with the inherent fuel efficiency of our QSK19, QSK38, QSK50 and QSK60 engines, it offers customers a solution that not only meets the latest regulations but also benefits their business.”
The aftertreatment system has a modular layout using a Vanadia- based stimulant that can be conveniently serviced by a solitary team participant by means of an accessibility panel. It can be run with either 32.5% or 40% focus of DEF. A fully-integrated electronic screen enables continual tracking of information along with evidence of performance for regular on-vessel audits.
Engine arrangements are readily available for both propulsion as well as complementary power throughout all high-horsepower systems other than QSK50. The QSK50 remedy is readily available currently for complementary applications. The QSK60 remedy is likewise readily available currently, with QSK19 as well as QSK38 being launched in 2020.
