MTU responds to IMO Tier III
Rolls-Royce brand, MTU, is responding to the upcoming IMO Tier III emission standard with SCR exhaust after-treatment systems for the marine industry.
“MTU is well prepared for IMO Tier III, be it with SCR exhaust after-treatment systems for diesel engines or with gas engines,” explained Dr Michael Haidinger, chief sales officer, Rolls-Royce Power Systems.
The company says customers can benefit from an integrated concept for IMO Tier III comprising an MTU drive and SCR system, which need little space and are said to offer strong power to weight ratio.
Also on offer is the latest high-speed Series 400 gas engine based on MTU’s trusted 4000 M63 diesel engine, which is widely used throughout the industry. The first field trial engine is set to go into service in 2016 in a new environmentally-compatible tugboat. Delivering 2,000kW, the 16-cylinder version of the engine meets IMO Tier III emission standards without resorting to exhaust after-treatment.
In addition, MTU offers made-to-measure E-Drive systems incorporating diesel engines and electric motors, storage batteries, power electronics, control systems and gearboxes, which it says offer low emission levels, low fuel consumption and high performance.
MTU also already offers a range of IMO Tier II-certified engines – Series 2000, 4000 and 8000, as well as the 396 and 1163 with up to 10,000kW – used in tugboats and offshore vessels.
