The need for a cleaner environment is a real and global concern that is forcing all responsible operators to manage and reduce their emissions. Numerous regulations, both global and local, are already in place setting limits on smoke levels, particulates, NOx, SOx, and other pollutants. Such legislation is expected to continue and to become even stricter in the future.
Wärtsilä is continuously seeking and developing new technologies to meet these requirements, and to ensure environmentally sound operations in terms of low emissions, low environmental impact and sustainability. Although new technologies are offered as standard on newbuilds, they can often also be retrofitted on older equipment as well. These upgrades enable benefits that were not available when the equipment first entered service.
There are several ways to reduce emissions from industrial installations.
