Emissions Measurement on Marine Diesel Engines
Precise measurement of emissions under demanding operating conditions: Sea-going vessels contribute significantly to air pollution, in particular by sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), black carbon and particulate matter. Due to the higher content of sulphur and other pollutants in heavy fuel oil compared to land fuels, ships are subject to strict environmental protection requirements. These emissions must be closely monitored and measured in order to comply with the international standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the MARPOL Convention. Measuring pollutants such as NOx, SO2 and particulate matter is crucial to ensure that emission limits are not exceeded and that ship operations are as environmentally friendly as possible.
Compliance with international environmental regulations: To meet international regulations, ship owners and operators must ensure that their emissions are accurately recorded and analysed. The challenge lies in achieving accurate measurements amid the harsh, variable conditions at sea, where accuracy cannot be compromised. Continuous, reliable monitoring is critical, enabling operators to detect any deviations from set limits promptly and make timely adjustments as needed.
The Solution
The testo 350 MARITIME portable measuring device is transforming emissions measurement for marine applications. This innovative device enables rapid, flexible monitoring of emission concentrations in service areas, complementing stationary systems on board. It accurately measures gaseous exhaust components, including O₂, CO, CO₂, NOₓ, and SO₂, and is the only portable device certified to remain on board during voyages. It is also approved for NOₓ Technical Code 2008 compliance, making it suitable for renewal, annual, and intermediate emissions verification. With MED certification, the testo 350 MARITIME stands out for its reliability and precision.
Testo 350 MARITIME – Precise emission measurement at sea:
Using such advanced, high-accuracy devices enables ship owners to operate their vessels efficiently, in an environmentally responsible manner, and in full regulatory compliance.
