THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CAT® SCR TECHNOLOGY

As the commercial marine sector adapts to the stringent EPA Tier 4 and IMO III emissions standards, Caterpillar Marine is leading the way with innovative solutions designed to enhance performance while fully complying with regulations. Caterpillar’s holistic approach combines a fuel-efficiency-optimized engine with a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) aftertreatment system. This solution is poised not only to significantly reduce NOx emissions but also to diminish customers’ owning and operating costs, offering exceptional value in environmental responsibility and economic savings.

UNDERSTANDING SCR IN THREE STEPS:

The SCR operation starts at the dosing cabinet, where the correct dose of compressed air [1A] and urea [1B] is mixed. This mixture is sourced from the onboard urea tank and then transferred [2A] to the SCR module.

Once in the SCR module, it is injected into the exhaust stream [2B]. Here in the SCR module [3], the water from the mixture evaporates, and the urea is transformed into NH3, or ammonia.

When the converted ammonia comes into contact with the SCR catalyst, a reduction in NOx emissions occurs. The final products of this environmentally-friendly process are carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water, and oxygen – underscoring the efficiency and eco-conscious design of the SCR system.

WE’RE DIALED IN ON BIOFUELS

REDUCE YOUR LIFECYCLE CARBON INTENSITY TODAY WITH ZERO ENGINE MODIFICATIONS

Biodiesel (FAME) and Renewable Diesel (HVO) are popular among customers seeking to reduce the environmental impact of their marine operations right now, on their existing Cat® engines. Using biofuels instead of petroleum diesel reduces lifecycle greenhouse has (GHG) emissions in the fuel value chain.

BENEFITS OF BIOFUELS

  • Offer an easy-to-switch-to, drop-in alternative to traditional diesel fuel.
  • Deliver similarly rated power output, transient response, start-up time and N0x emissions.
  • Follow established international standards to ensure consistent fuel specifications.*
  • Do not impact standard equipment warranty or emissions certifications.*
  • Provide C02 intensity reduction.***

* Only purchase biofuels from reputable suppliers selling commercial-grade fuels that meet industry specifications. For more information on approved specifications, consult Cat Commercial Diesel Engine Fluids Recommendations (SEBU6251) or contact us.
**When using biofuels that meet recommended specifications.
***CO2e reduction varies depending on feedstock and blend level. Tailpipe emissions are essentially the same as traditional fuels. (Source: California Air Resource Board, May 2021).

Whether your goal is to increase fuel flexibility, lower greenhouse gas emissions, improve safety, operate more efficiently – or all of the above – count on Cat Marine products and services to help navigate the energy transition. Our engines and generators have been running on biofuels (as an option to traditional fuels) for over a decade. Successfully, efficiently and economically. We’re dialed in on biofuels. Are you?
