SUPPLIER of continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) for marine applications Parker Kittiwake - Procal, part of the Parker Hannifin Corporation, announced that its Procal 2000 emissions analyser has been certified by Lloyd's Register.
The certification provides assurance to shipowners and operators that all available measures have been taken to verify that the analyser provides accurate and robust data to demonstrate compliance with emission control area (ECA) regulations, the company said.
Having undergone a process of rigorous testing and analysis under varying conditions, the analyser has been certified as compliant with recognised industry standards, including the IMO resolution MEPC 184(59) Guidelines for Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems and the IMO NOx Technical Code (2008) on the control of emission of Nitrogen Oxides from marine diesel engines.
In addition, the analyser has been certified against the standards set by Lloyd's Register on the regulation and certification of ships. As environmental regulation becomes increasingly stringent and spot sampling becomes more commonplace, the ability to rapidly demonstrate compliance will become crucial in preventing delays, even for compliant vessels.
The Procal 2000 is an in-situ analyser which analyses exhaust gases from the engines and boilers of ships and offshore rigs, monitors up to six gasses simultaneously including SO2, CO2 and NOx. The analyser also monitors the water vapour content of the exhaust gas, enabling the operator to determine the pollutant levels on a wet and dry basis and giving the shipowners a robust reporting tool to demonstrate compliance with ECA regulations.
Business development manager, Parker Kittiwake Procal, Chris Daw, said: "Achieving Lloyd's Register certification is a significant step in our commitment to obtaining type approval for all of our CEMS products.
"With many in the industry raising concerns over the ability of bunker delivery notes to accurately verify compliance with sulphur limits, there is growing recognition that continuous monitoring technologies that measure emissions directly are the most practical and effective means of demonstrating compliance."
