Proven NOx-reduction system to accompany earlier order
for MAN four-stroke engines aboard deepwater vessel
MAN Diesel & Turbo SE
Teglholmsgade 41
MAN Diesel & Turbo has won the contract to provide a Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) system for each of 6 × MAN 16V32/44CR engines. The
engines will power the ‘Petrofac JDS 6000’ deepwater derrick-lay vessel
ordered in January 2014 by Petrofac, the international oil and gas services
provider. At the time, Yves Inbona, Managing Director of Petrofac’s Offshore
Capital Projects business, said: “We are delighted to be working with industry
leaders on the design and build of the key components of the vessel.”

The SCR systems and engines will be constructed at MAN Diesel & Turbo’s
Augsburg, Germany facility, while the vessel will be constructed by the ZPMC
yard in China using a proprietary Petrofac design. MAN Diesel & Turbo and
Petrofac have also entered a 12-year service contract for the management,
maintenance and monitoring of the 6 engines. Vessel delivery is scheduled for
2016 with the vessel expected to be available for offshore construction and
installation activities from early 2017.
MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that its advanced technology and after-sales
experience, as well as the lower running costs for the engines and their higher
power per cylinder, were important factors in winning the contract.
The deepwater vessel will provide Petrofac with access to high-end, turnkey
opportunities in the high-growth deepwater and SURF (Subsea Umbilicals,
Risers and Flowlines) markets, while also expanding access to shallow-water
EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation) projects.
The SCR technique
Selective Catalytic Reduction injects urea into exhaust gases and passes
them through a catalytic converter at temperatures of 300 to 400° Celsius. The
subsequent, chemical reaction reduces undesired nitrogen oxides (NOx) by
over 80%. The SCR system in its entirety consists of a catalytic converter with
several control units and a surveillance-and-control unit.
In September 2014, the DNV-GL classification society awarded MAN Diesel &
Turbo a Tier III-compatibility certificate for its MAN 8L21/31 four-stroke engine

aboard a DFDS Seaways ship with a retrofitted SCR system; the ‘Petunia
Seaways’ is a cargo ship that sails a regular North Sea route. While the
engine alone meets IMO Tier II emission criteria, the SCR system for NOx
reduction raises the whole system to the standard demanded by IMO Tier III
rules.
Proven technology
MAN Diesel & Turbo is the first company to successfully make four-stroke
marine engines IMO Tier III-compliant, based on a fully modular SCR-kit that
covers the entire MAN Diesel & Turbo four-stroke engine portfolio. "For the
last 8,800 hours, this particular engine aboard the Petunia Seaways has
consistently met Tier III NOx limits under real-life operating conditions and in
full accordance with the rules," said Dr. Daniel Struckmeier, Senior Project
Manager Emission 2016, MAN Diesel & Turbo when DNV-GL presented the
Tier III certificate in September.
Generally, MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that results from the test bed and
open sea have been impressive and show that SCR technology is reliable and
ready for commercial production and operation. Accordingly, it has already
made the basic version of the SCR system available for every four-stroke
engine in its extensive portfolio.
