To reduce pollution in the marine industry, GE Power and Fincantieri have signed an agreement to co-develope a new[ds_preview] emission control solution. The so-called Shipboard Pollutant Removal System is intended to help control emissions to be compliant with MARPOL’s more stringent emissions limits directive that will be effective by 2020.
Fincantieri will define the necessary technical requirements to design an emission control system for a vessel, including constrains and improvements to develop a competitive product. GE Power, with one of the most comprehensive portfolio to treat all main industrial pollutants for power and industry applications and 80 years of experience in environmental control solutions, will define the features that are necessary for an emission control system, to help meet the target performances. The new product to control SOx and particulates emissions is developed for cruise vessels but can be installed on all vessels using heavy fuel. In addition, it will help ship owners reduce operational costs.
