Impact of maritime transport emissions on air quality in Europe

Viana et. al.[21], 2014 On average, shipping emissions contribute with 1-7% to annual mean PM10 levels, with1-20% to PM2.5, and with 8-11% to PM1

PM0.5 >8% >11%

• The impact of maritime transport on air

quality is high.

• The contribution of maritime transport
• n fine particle is even greater.

IFO fuelled marine diesel engine – Particle emission characteristics

PM of diesel exhaust gas comprises: (a) a mass dominant, coarse, fraction made by sulfates and water associated to sulphates (dp>2 μm) (b) Ash, the combustion product of lubricating

• il and minor amounts of metal compounds

in the fuel (dp>1 μm) (c) An organic fraction, dominant by number, made by elemental (EC stable T>350°C) and

• rganic matter (OM unstable at T>350°C)

coming from lube oil and fuel

Black Carbon (BC) is strongly light-absorbing carbonaceous material […]. BC contains more than 80% carbon by mass, a high fraction of which is sp2-bonded carbon, and when emitted forms aggregates of primary spherules between 20 and 50 nm in aerodynamic diameter. BC absorbs solar radiation across all visible wavelengths. The strength of the light absorption varies with the composition, shape, size distribution, and mixing state of the particle.

Marine transportation accounts for : 1-5% BC g.e. Black Carbon: 0.07 MTons/year Particulate Matter: 0.7 MTons/year

IFO fuelled marine diesel engine – Particle Size Distribution

• Ref. [3]

2.2% Sulphur [23] 1.6 % Sulphur [7] 0.05 % Sulphur [6]

PM of diesel exhaust gas:

• 1. Is affected by sulphur and ash contents of the fuel
• 2. EC and OM depend on combustion conditions
• 3. EC and OM is almost unchanged using biodiesel, LSO or ULSF [4]

IFO fuelled marine diesel engine – Particle Toxicity

Nose Larynx Bronchi Secondary Bronchi Terminal Bronchi Alveoli

Associated Pathologies Rhinitis Tracheitis Bronchitis Asthma Reduced Lung performances Cardiovascular illness Lung and cardiovascular cancer (WHO 2012)

Soot particles are related to severe pathologies and classified as carcinogenic of Class I by the World Health Organization. 3-8% mortality correlable to shipping [8]

Researches are still ongoing, but several authors highlighted the impact on air quality in port cities, expecially in USA & EU. (e.g. [8-11])

How to make particle measurements?

What? Where? How?

Mass concentration, mg/Nm3

• Easy to measure – filtration
• Mirror the S content of the fuel
• Not related to DPM toxicity

Total number conentration, 1/Nm3

• Count by condensation particles counters (CPC)
• Gives the overall picture
• May be an effective term of comparison

Particle size distribution, PSD

• Requires specific instruments
• Available online
• Experience allow correlation with toxicologic effects

Chemical analysis + PSD

• Provide deeper insigths on DPM properties and associated exposure risk
• Typical of scientific studies
• Partially offline

Ship engine exhaust

• Hot fumes
• Larger number of finer

particles which evolve later (coagulation/condensation)

• On-board technique

Ship stack

• Cold fumes
• More effective to

assess toxicity

• On-board technique

Ship plume:

• Plume aging effects;
• Better for climate and

atmospheric studies and for long distance toxicity

• Stationary or travelling

How to make particle measurements?

The choice of a particle instrumente depends:

• Particle size
• Particle concentration
• Acquisition rate
• Sampling flow rate
• Laboratory or field measures?
• Instrument cost

How measure PM – The sampling procedure

• The sampling must be

isocinetically

• All the sampling pipes must be

metal made

• Sampling poin up to the

thermodenuder must be heated to avoid water condensation.

• Particle sample need to be

heated at ≈350°C to eliminate volatile particles (about 2/3 of the total particles [23]).

• Due to the high particle number

concentration, the particle analyser generally requires a particle dilution.

• The first dilution must be carried
• ut at T>100°C to avoid water

condensation. Heating at 350°C Dilution PSD measurement Thermodenuder T>100°C Dilution

Potential alternatives - DPF

Diesel Particulate Filters – DPF

• Conceptually identical to Fabric Filters.
• New car DPFs capture 30 to greater than 95% of soot.
• Regeneration by combustion of carbonaceous particles:
• Passive filters use flue gas heat and catalytic surface;
• Active regeneration uses other heat sources, such as fuel burning or electric heaters
• Considerations on nanometric particles emissions during regeneration!
• Developed for ULSF (S<15 ppm) was adopted to resist sulphur percentage in fuel up to 500

ppm (MDO/MGO are 10.000ppm!!)

• Pressure drop before regeneration up to 100 mbar.
• Size concerns.

High Voltage needle Corona charging Grounded wall Mostly, they were experienced for particles with size larger than 2 mm, to comply with regulations for stationary sources. Often retrofitted with Fabric filters to allow compliances. ESP has great potentialities in reducing PM2 particles but are far less effective for particles finer than 200 nm, due to physical limitaion in particle charging. Complex functioning for sticky particles as OM or EC. Need for high space volumes and high voltages (30-70 kV).

Conclusions

• Maritime sector emit large amounts of toxic particulate matter close to coastal areas and in port

cities.

• Fine and ultrafine particles are the most dangerous on the human body. Recent studies are focusing
• n black carbon as a climate forcing agent rather than on particulate matter and its toxicological

effects: The WHO officially classified diesel particulate matter as carcinogenic.

• In spite of its relevance, this sector remained largely unregulated until the last years. The same IMO

indications are relatively mild when compared with actual regulations in force for industrial activities

• r automotive transport.
• Fuel switching or use of biodiesel is ineffective toward PM emission.
• After-treatment systems, based on industrial system design are very effective in removing PM2.5, but

have several drawbacks when applied on-board and they are largely ineffective towards PM<1. Specific devices as DPF are available only if ULSF is used.

• The capture of fine and ultrafine particles still remain a challenge, especially in the ship sector.
