Task 5.2: Emission reduction - Exhaust Gas Recirculation and After-treatment
Objectives:
Reduction of NOx by 80% on large two stroke diesel engines with High Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) by extreme EGR parameters and variations of engine parameters.
Investigate the potential increase of the high power energy recovery from the exhaust gas in the EGR system by introducing a high pressure boiler.
Reduction of NOx by 50% onboard a seagoing vessel by development and testing of a full-size High Pressure EGR system for the main engine of the vessel.
Investigate the NOx reduction potential of the Combustion Gas Recirculation (CGR) technology. Research, design, development and testing of CGR system at test plant. Goal is to reach 50% NOx reduction at test plant.
Reduction of the energy consumption and wastewater treatment in EGR systems by investigation on dry scrubbing technologies.
Investigate the necessary boundary conditions for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) application,
