Combustion system for ships
A combustion system for ships operated at low cost is provided. A combustion system 1 for ships includes an internal combustion engine 20 that burns fuel, an exhaust line L 2 through which exhaust gas flows, the exhaust gas being generated through combustion of the fuel in the internal combustion engine 20 , an exhaust heat recovery device 40 that is disposed in the exhaust line L 2 and that recovers exhaust heat from the exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine 20 , and a denitration device 50 that is disposed in the exhaust line L 2 and that removes nitrogen oxide from the exhaust gas using a denitration catalyst. The denitration device 50 is disposed downstream from the exhaust heat recovery device 40 in the exhaust line L 2 . The denitration catalyst contains 43 wt % or more of vanadium pentoxide and has a BET specific surface area of 30 m 2 /g or more.
1. A combustion system for ships, comprising:
an internal combustion engine that burns fuel;
an exhaust line through which exhaust gas flows, the exhaust gas being generated through combustion of the fuel in the internal combustion engine;
an exhaust heat recovery device that is disposed in the exhaust line and that recovers exhaust heat from the exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine; and
a denitration device that is disposed in the exhaust line and that removes nitrogen oxide from the exhaust gas using a denitration catalyst,
wherein the denitration device is disposed downstream from the exhaust heat recovery device in the exhaust line, and
the denitration catalyst contains 43 wt % or more of vanadium pentoxide and has a BET specific surface area of 30 m 2 /g or more.
2. The combustion system for ships according to claim 1 ,
wherein the exhaust heat recovery device includes a turbine device and an exhaust gas economizer,
the exhaust gas economizer generates steam using, as heat sources, exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine and exhaust gas supplied from the turbine device, and
the turbine device generates electric power using the exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine and the steam supplied from the exhaust gas economizer.
3. The combustion system for ships according to claim 2 , wherein the electric power generated in the exhaust heat recovery device is used to supplement motive power generated by the internal combustion engine.
4. The combustion system for ships according to claim 1 , further comprising a dust collector that is disposed in the exhaust line and that collects dust in the exhaust gas,
wherein the dust collector is disposed upstream from the denitration device in the exhaust line.
5. The combustion system for ships according to claim 1 , wherein in the denitration catalyst, an amount of NH 3 desorbed by NH 3 -TPD (TPD: temperature programed desorption) is 10.0 μmol/g or more.
