I/O System for Exhaust Gas Cleaning aboard Ships

Emission limits are in effect in many harbors and coastal zones; however, the majority of ships that use conventional fuels cannot comply with them. Therefore, shipping companies must retrofit their fleets with appropriate technologies in order to continue their international operations without limitations. ETB Energietechnik Bremen develops and sells specialized exhaust gas post-treatment systems that significantly reduce emissions. The control and monitoring equipment used in this technology must withstand harsh conditions at sea. For this reason, ETB chose the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM.

International shipping primarily uses fuels that have problematic emissions, like high levels of soot, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxide. This contaminates the air, primarily in coastal areas and in harbor cities, more than is permitted. In the past few years, numerous regulations on emissions from ships have been enacted, affecting sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ozone depleting agents (including CFCs), incineration of garbage and trash on board, energy efficiency (EEDI) and the introduction of “Emission Control Areas” (ECAs).
