Exhaust gas diverter and collection system for ocean going vessels

摘要

An exhaust gas collection system for capturing exhaust gas emitted by auxiliary engines, auxiliary boilers and other sources on an Ocean Going Vessel (OGV) while at berth or anchor, so that these gases may be carried to an emissions treatment system for removal of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. The exhaust gas collection system includes a diverter to redirect exhaust gas normally carried to the OGV's stack for release to the atmosphere, to an emissions treatment system. The emissions treatment system may be land-based, water-based, or on the OGV. When the emissions treatment system is land-based or water-based, the exhaust gas is carried to a connection location that accessible by a ducting system to carry the exhaust gas to the emissions treatment system. The exhaust gas collection system preferably includes parallel-flow ducts and a manifold to combine the parallel-flows into a single duct for more convenient routing through the vessel.
