Wärtsilä 34DF engines awarded EPA Tier III emissions compliance certification
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 3 May 2017 at 10 am EET
The technology group Wärtsilä has been awarded model year 2017 certification of
emissions compliance from the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for its Wärtsilä 34DF dual-fuel engine family. The EPA Tier III
certification and the corresponding EIAPP certificate were both issued in March
2017. The Tier III certification of conformity covers the Wärtsilä 34DF engines
manufactured from the date of issue until the end of 2017.
These are the first Category 3 Tier III certificates issued by the EPA to any
manufacturer. Category 3 relates to engines with a displacement per cylinder of
greater than 30 litres.
The certification verifies that the Wärtsilä 34DF engine is fully compliant with
the EPA Tier III emission standards in gas mode operation. As required by the
EPA Tier III standard, the engine is equipped with a continuous nitrogen oxide
(NOx) measuring and monitoring system for verifying emissions compliancy inside
NOx Emission Control Areas (NECA). When sailing outside NECAs, the fuel-flexible
34DF engine can be operated with conventional marine diesel fuels if required.
"Once again Wärtsilä technology is leading the way to greater environmental
sustainability and a cleaner shipping industry. It is an honour for the company
to be the first to be awarded this important EPA certification," says Patrik
Wägar, Product Director, Medium Bore Engines, Wärtsilä Marine Solutions.
The Wärtsilä 34DF engine
The 34DF engine features advanced dual-fuel technology and high efficiency, and
its success is evidenced with more than 300 engines delivered globally. For
marine applications, it is manufactured in configurations from 6 to 16 cylinders
covering a power range of 2880 - 8000kW.. Based on the well proven and reliable
Wärtsilä 32 diesel engine introduced in the mid-1990s, the Wärtsilä 34DF's fuel
flexibility means that the engine can be optimised for constant speed generating
sets, as well as variable speed mechanical drives for main engine applications.
