A GOOGLE® Search Tip

My candle burns at both ends. It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends - It gives a lovely light.” --Edna St. Vincent Millay

Today’s tip … when you Google®, search BOTHGoogle AND Google Scholar

You will come up with different results from each.

Here’s an example …

Regular Google search string: marine diesel scr

1. Introduction
In response to strengthened International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, the “Super-clean Marine Diesel” research and development project was initiated and overseen by Japan Marine Equipment Association and promoted by the Nippon Foundation, led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transportation and Tourism. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Akasaka Diesels Ltd. are participants in this project, which aims to develop selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for slow-speed diesel engines. We will complete a verification test for the first step of this project using a land test rig this September. This article provides an outline of our activities to date.

International Journal of Plasma Environmental Science & Technology Vol.1, No.1, MARCH 2007
NOx and Soot Reduction Using Dielectric Barrier Discharge and NH3 Selective Catalytic Reduction in Diesel Exhaust

Environmental System Research Center, Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials, Daejeon, Korea
Abstract
A combined De-NOx technique of a non-thermal plasma and a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using NH3 has been investigated to remove NOx from a 300 hpmarine diesel engine exhaust under low temperature conditions (100–200 oC). As results, De-NOxefficiencies for the combined process were increased from 20 to 80 % at 100 oC compared to a SCR sole process. Since a non-thermal plasma could convert NO into NO2, a fast SCR reaction by which a equal amount of NO and NO2 reduced to nitrogen could be activated in a relatively low temperature range. Furthermore from the measurement of smoke-meter, over 45 % of PM was reduced and the size distribution of PM was significantly altered after plasma process. This feature will be helpful to continuously regenerative DPF systems.
