Mitsui O.S.K. to Test Marine-Diesel SCR System for IMO Tier-III NO_X Limits

摘要

Tokyo-based Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) on July 8 unveiled plans to install a selective catalytic-reduction (SCR) system – jointly developed by MOL, Yanmar and Namura Shipbuilding – on all three power generators of an MOLoperated oceangoing freighter for a demonstration test. “This test demonstrates NO_X [nitrogen-oxide] reduction under the actual operation of freighter, to meet the Tier-III NO_X regulations set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO),” according to MOL.
