The basic version is equipped with ABB’s renowned Uras26 non-dispersive IR gas analyzer and measures simultaneously and continuously SO₂, CO₂. 

Two separate gas paths allows continuous CO₂/SO₂ measurement of separate streams with only one analyzer and up to 4 components per analyzer module

Key benefits of the CEMcaptain GAA610-M:
Guarantee compliance with latest IMO regulations
- Certified system for emission monitoring in marine industry
- Type approved by all major classification societies 

Decrease maintenance hassle by increased system uptime 
- Simple system design suitable for challenging ambient conditions  
- Minimized maintenance tasks 
- Digitally enabled for smart services 
- ABB Ability^TM Remote Assistance process downtime

Application

Emission monitoring for clean air on oceans brings maritime air pollution control closely in line with shore-based power plants, cement works and oil refineries, where continuous emissions monitoring systems (CEMS) have been used for decades. As from the January 1, 2020, the low sulphur emission limits in the IMO regulations became effective worldwide. 

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) set out the MARPOL Annex VI regulations aiming to control of the main air pollutants emitted by vessels. These regulations focus on the control and reduction of sulphur oxides (SO_x) emissions: Regulation 14 for control and monitoring of SOx emitted by the combustion of heavy fuel oil (HFO) engines SO_X control guidelines are specified in the MEPC.259 (68). 
They apply in all Emission Control Areas (ECAs) starting January 1st 2015 on and have started in 2020 globally.

In order to control the efficiency of exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) and following MEPC.259 (68), measurement of SO_x/CO₂ ratio is required.
The NO_x Technical Code (NTC) 2008 specifies the measurement performance of a CEMS on board of a vessel. Ship yards, ship owners and marine ECGS manufacturers need to equip vessels with exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) for continuous analyzer systems to measure: sulphur oxides (SO_x), carbon dioxide (CO₂)
