Outside the EU, similar alarm is growing over diesel engine pollution generated by ships in port. However, the worst pollution occurs 20 miles out to sea in international waters, when many ships switch to bunker oil instead of diesel fuel. Cheap, available -- and extremely dirty.
PNGinc's Phoenix UCB™ Ultra-clean Burner is designed to burn bunker oil cleanly. This PNGinc proprietary technology transforms the oil into a gas state for an efficient, clean burn. We expect at least a 90 percent reduction in NOx emissions with our initial prototypes. (Plus: ZERO particulates & 98% reduction in toxic hydrocarbons.)
When teamed up with our low-maintenance Phoenix Turbines, we have a zero-particulate replacement engine for marine diesel engines. Whether its role is the ship's main engine, auxiliary engines used to power generators, or turbine-electric hybrid tugboats, our Phoenix Turbines are 1,000 times cleaner than diesel engines.
