MARTEK Evolution EMS Emissions Monitoring System

Description of MARTEK Evolution EMS

How is emissions monitoring enforced?

Emissions monitoring for ships is enforced through international and regional regulations, inspection, and reporting mechanisms. The International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) MARPOL Annex VI (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships) is the primary international regulatory framework governing ship emissions.

Key aspects of how emissions monitoring is enforced include;

• Emission Limits
• Emission Control Areas (ECAs)
• Fuel Requirements
• Monitoring Plans and Reporting
• Port State Control
• Onboard Recordkeeping

Evolution EMS ensures accuracy and reliability through several key features;

• Proven NDIR Siemens Analyser Technology: Evolution EMS utilises long-term proven NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) Siemens analyser technology. NDIR analysers are renowned for their high accuracy and reliability in measuring gas concentrations. This technology provides consistent and precise measurements of NOx, SOx, and CO2 emissions, even in the harsh marine environment.
• Fail-Safe Protection of Sample Handling System: Evolution EMS incorporates fail-safe protection mechanisms for the sample handling system. This system is particularly vulnerable to issues in emissions monitoring. The fail-safe design helps prevent malfunctions or disruptions in the sample collection, handling, and delivery processes, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of emission measurements.
• Unique 11-Layer Gas Filter Probe with ‘Blow-Back’ Arrangement: The Evolution EMS features a unique 11-layer gas filter probe with a ‘blow-back’ arrangement. This design ensures maximum filtration performance and extends the maintenance interval. By effectively filtering out impurities and contaminants, the probe minimises the risk of sensor fouling or inaccurate measurements, enhancing the reliability of emission data.
• Unique 4-Stage System Filtration: The Evolution EMS incorporates a unique 4-stage filtration system. This system filters the full range of particle sizes, ensuring the trouble-free performance of the analyser over the long term. The system guarantees reliable and consistent emission data by effectively removing particulate matter and other pollutants that can interfere with accurate measurements.
• Robust Construction for Marine Environment: Evolution EMS is built to withstand the harsh and demanding marine environment. It is constructed using robust materials and components that endure vibrations, temperature variations, and exposure to saltwater and other corrosive elements. This ensures the system’s durability, longevity, and reliable operation under challenging maritime conditions.
• Calibration and Maintenance Support: To maintain accuracy and reliability, Evolution EMS offers calibration and maintenance support. Regular calibration of sensors and analysers helps ensure accurate measurements over time. Martek provides comprehensive support services, including calibration procedures, maintenance guidelines, and assistance from their expert team, ensuring the ongoing accuracy and reliability of the system.
