PARKER Procal, a supplier of continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) for marine applications, has announced that its Procal 2000 emissions analyser has been certified by class society DNV-GL, which will help shipowners provide "robust" evidence to demonstrate compliance with emission control area (ECA) regulations.
DNV-GL certification was awarded as the emissions analyser met the requirements of MEPC 184(59) Chapter six on emission testing of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide, as well as the requirements of the revised MARPOL Annex VI and NOx Technical Code 2008.
The Procal 2000 analyses the gases from the combustion of residual and distillate fuel. It also measures the water content of the exhaust so that CO2 and SO2 can be reported on both a wet and a dry basis, demonstrating compliance with ECA regulations in port and in international waters.
Said Procal spokesman Chris Daw: "The (maritime) industry is recognising the importance of CEMS in ensuring compliance with increasingly stringent emissions regulations. With the latest ECA regulations and incoming EU MRV requirements, shipowners are under significant pressure to prove compliance or else face significant fines they can ill-afford.
"The Procal in-situ CEMS analyser can measure up to six exhaust gases such as SO2, CO2, NO and NO2. The analysers are connected to a data acquisition system, which displays, data logs and re-transmits the monitored concentrations and SO2:CO2 ratio - in accordance with IMO regulations - without manual intervention."
