Another Approved Texas Project


I wonder if it is at all possible if ESWW is involved in this one. More likely that this is competition, but I say that because I do not like to get my hopes up

Project N-021
Demonstration: 50% NOx Reduction Kit for Marine Diesel Engines

Sub-Contractors:
Advanced Global Engineering
MIRATECH Corporation


This proposal presents an innovative solution that represents a cooperative combination of two complementary emission reduction technologies that provides a 50% NOx reduction as well as similar significant reductions in PM, THC and CO emissions levels.

The US Inland and Coastal Waterway marine vessel operations that currently employ large medium speed diesel engines such as those manufactured by the Electro-Motive Diesels, (formerly the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors), and General Electric Transportation Systems, may have the unique opportunity to lower exhaust emissions by combining two technologies currently being developed for other applications that employ similar engines. These large medium speed diesel engines are also found in locomotives and stationary power generator sets for which various levels of emission reduction technologies have been developed to comply with the Federal standards. These regulations are responsible for spawning new and innovative ideas and products that offer alternative solutions to the OEM package.

The thrust of this proposal would be to incorporate two technologies into one emission reduction system, apply that system to a representative test engine and determine the feasibility of achieving the expected emission reductions for all major gaseous constituents. Prior test data is offered that demonstrates each product’s ability to achieve significant emission reductions.

Both technologies have the unique quality of being 100% retrofittable with current engine components. After the existing parts are removed, there are no special tools, adaptors or support structures and associated training required to apply both concepts to the existing engine. This advantage makes them both readily commercialized as a certifiable emissions reduction system that is easy to install and maintain.
