Performance evaluation of a urea-selective catalytic reduction system in a marine diesel engine

Abstract

A numerical simulation of the droplet distribution at the exhaust duct for a static mixer and injection location was performed for marine selective catalyst reduction. Through experiments with this auxiliary marine urea-selective catalyst reduction system, the ammonia slip, selective catalyst reduction system pressure drop, and NO_x reduction rate in accordance with the space velocity (i.e. engine load) were investigated. Under incremental and random experimental conditions, the ammonia slip of this urea-selective catalyst reduction system is below 3 ppm, which satisfies International Maritime Organization Tier III regulations.
