Tenneco has been awarded three product design assessment (PDA) certificates from the American Bureau of Shipping, one of the world’s leading ship classification societies, for its new selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system for large engines.
The PDA certificates cover key components of the system, including the complete dosing and control system, injectors, load sensors and the human machine interface (HMI) remote monitor, as well as catalyst and reactor hardware configurations for both EPA and IMO applications.
“We’re very pleased to earn this assessment from the ABS. This important classification demonstrates to our customers that Tenneco’s SCR system design has met the standards set forth by one of the world’s leading maritime classification societies,” said Ben Patel, Tenneco vice president, Clean Air, global research, development and systems integration.
In addition to the ABS, Tenneco’s large engine SCR system is designed to meet the requirements of other major maritime classification societies including DNV GL, KR and Class NK.
The SCR system’s modular design enables seamless integration for a broad range of engine sizes and works with electrically or mechanically controlled engines. It has been validated for durability and all components are easy to maintain and service without the need for special tools.
