Process engineering aspects of diesel engine off gases treatment

The purpose of this study was to investigate the currently available methods of maritime diesel engine off gases removing systems. The major cargo transportation mode is maritime transport, which is also responsible for approximately 90% of world trade by volume. Furthermore, travelling by sea has increased considerably in recent years – from 2003 to 2016 this touristic sector has expanded from 12.0 to 22.0 million travellers. Accordingly, worldwide emission from shipping has grown significantly, which contributes directly to the global anthropogenic emissions and it poses a serious threat to the ecosystem and public health..
