DLBA UNIVERSITY
WEBINAR RECORDING
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)
SEPTEMBER 8, 2020
As of January 1st, 2021, yachts under 500 gross tons will no longer be exempt from IMO Tier III. This means that vessels will have new requirements imposing stringent limits with regards to Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) levels in the exhaust of marine diesel engines. The requirements will apply directly to recreational vessels with a load line length of 24m or greater.
During this webinar, we will discusses how the new emissions requirements will impact vessels in this size range from a design and implementation standpoint as well as practical ramifications. The main solution being employed, Selective Catalytic Reduction, or SCR, will be the focus. DLBA offers design experience and expectations while MTU will offer greater detail on their solution to this new challenge.
One of the presenters, Christopher Swanhart, has also distributed to an interesting article about this subject in the September issue of Pro Boat. In case you are interested in reading this publication, it can be downloaded here.
