MARITIME CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING
The Ballast Water Management Convention or BWM Convention (full name International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments, 2004) is a treaty adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in order to help prevent the spread of potentially harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens in ships' ballast water.
IMO will enforce a new 0.5% global sulphur cap on fuel content from 1 January 2020, lowering from the present 3.5% limit.
Therefore, it is imperative for ship owners to adopt monitoring exhaust gas emissions systems which are compliant with MARPOL Annex VI regulations on sulphur emissions. To use an exhaust gas cleaning system (EGCS), it is one of the schemes that we can take to cope with their regulation. And, it is necessary to continuously monitor the concentrations of SO2 and CO2 using the gas analyzer mounted on a ship according to the guidelines for the systems (IMO Resolution MEPC.259 (68)).

The ZQS laser gas analyser developed by Fuji Electric will meet the ship owners needs by providing accurate monitoring of exhaust gases and by saving space and maintenance.
Since emission control has become more stringent to reduce sulfur oxides (SOx) emitted from ships, ZQS Laser Gas Analyser can be used for continuous monitoring of SO2 and CO2 for ships scrubbers.
FEATURES:
- Laser Technology
- SO2 and CO2 continuous monitoring
- Calibration required only once a year
- CE marked and IMO certified analyser by DNV-GL & Class NK
- Compact size
- Low running cost
- Easy maintenance, only filter replacement

GAS ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR ON-BOARD CONTINUOUS EMISSIONS MONITORING
Fuji Electric has also developed a smart hub for monitoring and analysis which is fully tailored to ship owners’ requests, with a focus on CapEx and OpEx balance to increase fuel economy while minimizing costs and air pollution. It also enables ship owners and operators to submit a monitoring plan for emissions effortlessly.
It is able to able to monitor and analyse up to seven different substances including NOx, CO2, SO2, CO, and HC. Options to analyse O2 and particulate matter are also available.
Monitoring exhaust gas emissions is crucial to demonstrating compliance with MARPOL Annex VI regulations on sulphur emissions.
The S-K7™ Gas Analysis System is easy to maintain and calibrate (as all calibrations are automatic (Zero/Span)). With its simplified installation, hands-free calibration, and a longer maintenance cycle, S-K7™ gas analysis system ensures stable, efficient performance and reliablity to withstand even the toughest marine environment.
With its large and touchscreen interface, the on-board maintenance and calibration are easy, even for unskilled crew members, making it possible to save on training costs and time.
The Spare Parts Management Program (SPMP) ensures traceability and availability of every component on the ship's course, leading to further cost savings.
