Trim Cluster Navale: emission monitoring and control for marine mobility
Naval emissions monitoring system
The Trim Cluster Navale project falls within the scope of industrial and technological research for marine mobility, with a specific focus on emission control and reduction. Its main goal is to develop an advanced continuous emission monitoring system (CEMS) adaptable to ship exhaust stacks, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and reducing the ecological impact of maritime transport.
The project involves the development of:
Exhaust gas sampling system: Design of a gas extraction tube inside the exhaust stack, tailored to the specific characteristics of the gas matrix.
Optimized monitoring probe: Development of a probe using borosilicate glass microfiber filter cartridges, with a cylindrical configuration ensuring optimal balance between filtration efficiency and size.
Automated rotary filter system: Integration of a rotating flange with multiple filter chambers operated by a pneumatic rotary actuator, enabling remote cartridge replacement and minimizing manual intervention.
Automated maintenance system: Human intervention is only required after a full rotation cycle, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and improving operational efficiency.
Expected results and impacts:
The project aims to:
Reduce harmful ship emissions through accurate, continuous monitoring.
Optimize maintenance, lowering operational costs and extending system autonomy.
Support compliance with international maritime environmental regulations.
Enhance operational safety by reducing manual intervention in elevated locations.
Partnerships and collaborations:
The project was developed in collaboration with various industrial and institutional partners, as part of a national research and technological development initiative, supported by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR).
Technological innovation:
Trim Cluster Navale stands out for:
Real-time automated emission monitoring.
Automated rotary filter system with pneumatic actuators for remote cartridge replacement.
Next-generation probes with borosilicate glass microfiber cartridges.
System scalability, adaptable to various operational needs and gas properties.
