We live in a world of restrictive regulations on the use of carbon containing fuels and emissions from their use. It is well recognized that the technology does not exist to replace those fuels in the near future. However, there is great concern about sulfur and nitrogen oxides and their impact on pollution. Carbon dioxide, a natural by-product of the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels, is under attack as a greenhouse pollutant. While the jury is still out on this issue, the fact remains that reduction of carbon dioxide along with reduced fuel consumption will have positive impacts on lowering the importation of hydrocarbon fluids by those countries that consume more than they produce.
Reduction of emissions has been dominated by the engineering and hardware approach. Mechanical engineers designed the engines and have remained involved in after-sale issues. Sulfur oxides can be reduced by (1) hydro desulfurization in the refinery or (2) scrubber equipment in the exhaust systems of the engines. Both of these are engineering solutions. The former requires installation of major equipment in the refinery involving expensive catalysts, production of hydrogen and heat followed by disposal of hydrogen sulfide. The latter requires the installation of expensive capital equipment in the exhaust system followed by maintenance, use of neutralizing chemicals and disposal of the resulting sludge.
Engineering solutions to reducing fuel consumption and nitrogen oxides involve replacing older but well performing engines with new ones. These new engines operate under less than favorable conditions leading to reduced power production, more maintenance issues and shorter lifetimes. This is the natural approach as engineers know how to design hardware solutions and selling hardware generates income for the businesses they work for.
