Advanced methane abatement for dual-fuel engines in maritime industries.
Ensure compliance and sustainability for maritime operations.
SlipPure™ Marine is designed to specifically abate methane slip from the exhaust of dual-fuel marine engines. It provides shipowners and charterers with a reliable solution to reduce methane emissions, improve their environmental profile, and meet stringent regulations such as EU MRV, FuelEU Maritime, and EU ETS obligations. By addressing methane slip, SlipPure™ Marine minimises environmental impact and helps operators meet compliance goals.
Key Features
- Methane slip abatement: SlipPure™ Marine effectively reduces methane emissions from dual-fuel engines.
- Seamless integration: Designed to fit into existing marine engine systems with minimal disruption.
- Long-term compliance: Built to meet both current and future maritime emissions standards.
Key Benefits
- Regulatory Compliance: SlipPure™ Marine ensures compliance with international regulations such as EU MRV and IMO DCS, reducing the risk of penalties.
- Cost Efficiency: The plasma-catalytic system uses minimal power and integrates with existing marine infrastructure, maintaining high engine efficiency while reducing methane emissions.
Sustainability Impact: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Reducing methane emissions is crucial for climate change mitigation, and SlipPure™ Marine helps by cutting methane slip.
How It Works
- SlipPure™ Marine uses a proprietary plasma-catalytic process to convert methane (CH4) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), effectively removing harmful gases from the exhaust stream. The system is installed on the exhaust outlet of a dual-fuel marine engine and operates on electricity.
- Efficient Catalytic Process: By integrating non-thermal plasma (NTP) and a methane oxidation catalyst (MOC), SlipPure™ Marine reduces methane slip without affecting engine performance, even at lower exhaust temperatures. This ensures high abatement efficiency across different operating conditions.
Industry Applications
SlipPure™ Marine provides a versatile solution for various maritime operations. Applications include:
LNG-Powered Dual-Fuel Engines
Shipowners operating LNG-powered dual-fuel engines can integrate SlipPure™ Marine into their exhaust systems. This solution is ideal for LNG carriers, oil tankers, container ships, ferries, cruise ships, and other vessels using methane-rich fuels, ensuring compliance with emissions regulations and reducing penalties from schemes like EU ETS.
FPSO and FSRU Offshore Ships
Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and Floating Storage Regasification Units (FSRU) represent a distinct offshore category where SlipPure™ Marine can be installed. By abating methane emissions on these ships, operators can meet sustainability goals and ensure compliance with emissions regulations.
Offshore Platforms
Gas-powered engines operating on offshore platforms can utilise SlipPure™ Marine to abate methane emissions, helping operators meet sustainability and compliance goals.
Why Methane Reduction Matters
Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, with a global warming potential 85 times higher than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Reducing methane emissions is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a crucial step in mitigating climate change.
As a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP), Methane has an immediate and outsized impact. Reducing methane emissions can significantly help limit global warming by 2050 and reduce the formation of ground-level ozone, which negatively impacts human health and agricultural productivity.
Immediate Climate Impact
Methane remains in the atmosphere for a shorter time than CO2, but its warming potential is much greater. Reducing methane emissions can immediately and significantly impact slowing global warming.
Regulatory Compliance
Governments and regulatory bodies worldwide are introducing stricter methane emissions standards. Meeting these standards helps avoid fines, penalties, and reputational risks.
Operational Benefits
Reducing methane emissions helps meet compliance, improves engine efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs, contributing to long-term operational savings.
