AMECS®

Auxiliary engines and boilers of ocean going vessels (OGVs) are used at ports for power, lighting, cargo refrigeration,

ventilation, communication and other on-board equipment while berthed. They are a significant source of Particulate

Matter (PM10), NOx and SOx emissions at ports.

AMECS®

Proven Emissions Reductions

95% PM 99% NOX 99% SOX 99% VOC’s

AMECS®

Completed 1,200+ connected hours

Treated 40+ vessels

Dozens of verified emissions tests completed

CARB Advisory (December 2013)AMECS is the ONLY CARB-approved Shore Power alternative

CARB Letter (December 31, 2013)CARB-approved Test Plan

Current Status

1,200 Hour Durability Test

Less expensive than shore power

No vessel or berth retrofit required

Eliminates ship blackout concerns associated w/ grid

Transparent to vessel operations

Meets existing and planned regulations

Nine years of development and testing

NOX – Selective Catalytic Reducer No changes in NOX System in AMECS 2

99% NOX Removal Efficiency

650F gas stream converts injected urea to ammonia

NOX & ammonia converted to harmless nitrogen and water vapor

Spent catalyst sent to manufacturer for recycling

SOX - Packed-bed Scrubber Optional SOX Scrubber

99% removal efficiency

AMECS 2: Proven technology

80% less power

80% less maintenance

50% less waste water

Few parts – higher reliability

Waste may be discharged to industrial sewer after testing

Barge mounted AMECS with a direct connection to the ship’s

exhaust pipes.
