Technological Perspective for Reducing Emissions from Marine Engines

Abstract

Climate change and adverse impacts on the ocean environment have recently received much attention in the shipping and marine economic sectors. Preventing pollution of the marine environment from land sources through the river or atmospheric water is only possible by applying clean industrial technologies without waste and methods for rational use of natural resources. Main technical facilities to protect the sea environment from the current pollution are used to remove toxic substances from waste sources of ships. The International Maritime Organization increasingly tightens regulations on emissions with marine transport fleets, especially emissions of NOx and SOx. Therefore, many countries in the world continually improve and develop marine diesel engines in the direction of reducing emissions with different technologies. It is a tremendous necessary to enrich the technological knowledge to select new energy equipment in shipbuilding because they play a vital role in ensuring emission standards throughout the life of the ship. Indeed, technology development orientation in coastal countries' marine industry with the initial study results on the use of extraction optimization measures, alternative fuels, and output emission control solutions, it shows that we can implement some technologies to achieve NOx and SOx reduction according to IMO regulations. This paper summarizes the most important recent development technologies in the world in the field of marine engines. Also, the authors assessed the possibility of applying these new technologies to fleets of coastal countries to meet environmental requirements.

Laminar Flame Characteristics of 2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF) Biofuel: A Comparative Review with Ethanol and Gasoline

“…Many parameters characterize the combustion of fuel, but among them, two parameters are considered to represent the combustion characteristics and are the basis for determining the chemical reaction mechanisms that take place while burning: laminar burning velocity (LBV) and unstretched flame propagation speed (UFPS) (Law, 2010). Due to the combined influence of many stakeholders such as the physicochemical properties of the fuel, the reaction mechanism of the compound components taking place during combustion, it is easy to see that the initial parameters of the combustion process such as pressure, temperature, equivalence ratio, the composition of the mixture significantly affect LBV (Xu et al, 2016) (Pham, 2019). LBV is the combustion rate of fuel in an internal combustion engine and is considered a very important indicator to simulate the turbulent processes taking place inside the engine during combustion.…”

Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Using Ether Additives: A Review

“…For studies using alternative fuels in internal combustion engines, the physicochemical properties of modified blends have key importance in changes of the combustion and emission characteristics (Van and Anh, 2019). However, the properties of the blended fuels are highly dependent on the properties of the base fuel and fuel additives.…”

Ecological tourism in Tram Chim national park: potential, opportunity and challenge

“…Road transport system to Tram Chim National Park is quite convenient according to National Road 30, Provincial Road 855, 844 and 843. Electricity and water supply system (Pham & Hoang, 2019); Communication system in Tam Nong district in general, National Park buffer zone, in particular, is quite complete. These are favorable conditions to promote ecotourism development in the National Park (Vu & Le, 2015).…”
