China Maritime 2012 will be held at the world-renowned Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

Revolutionary solution to high ship fuel cost presented at China Maritime 2012

Slow steaming is sure to be one of the key talking points at the upcoming China Maritime Week, as shippers explore ways to increase efficiency amid high fuel costs, while also reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. With tough new regulations to protect the environment set to come into effect in the near future, the interest in slow-speed marine engines will not be going away.

One of the highlights of China Maritime, the TCC Institute for Emissions Reduction in Marine Diesel Engines (TIER-MDE) will be presenting an update on potentially game-changing research into nano-pulse technology that has the potential to revolutionise slow-speed marine diesel engines.

TIER-MDE is a research project jointly conducted by the University of Southern California-Los Angeles and Tai Chong Cheang Group of Hong Kong. The project is now into its second year and has made significant progress.

The team will discuss how transient plasma ignition technology could improve combustion and reduce harmful emissions in two-stroke low-revs engines. The research offers the possibility of both a practical retrofit capability for existing engines, as well as better technology for next generation engine designs.

The presentation will take place at 10.00am on March 1, in Meeting Room S424 of the Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre.
