Polish rescue ship exhaust system

PGZ Stocznia Wojenna concluded an agreement with the Polish company EcoExtensive for the design, execution and delivery of the cleaning and cooling system for the rescue ship of the project B-108 Lifeguard.

EcoExcess will provide the exhaust system for The lifeguard.

EcoExcess is responsible for complete exhaust systems for main engines and emergency power generator. For main propulsion, four wet exhaust systems are provided, in which the exhaust gases will be cooled by seawater and discharged through the outlets in the ship's sides. A dry exhaust system with discharge will be used for the emergency unit through the chimney.

The task of the system is to cool the exhaust from more than 400°C at the engine outlet up to 60°C on the ejection overboard. The system must operate to the full range of engine loads, also with a significant tilt of the ship. The suppression of noise emitted into the aquatic environment will also be an important element.

The systems will be made of corrosion resistant materials, including stainless steel. Such solutions are primarily used on warships, where requirements for heat and acoustic signatures are particularly restrictive. Their application on Hey, lifeguard. indicates that Polish Navy The Polish Republic expects from this unit not only rescue capabilities, but also parameters corresponding to modern realities activities at sea.

Another Polish supplier to the rescue ship Lifeguard

EcoExtinction is a Polish company founded in 2016, specializing in exhaust aftertreatment systems for diesel engines. The company designs and manufactures, among others, SCR selective catalytic reduction systems, DPF particulate filters and complete marine exhaust systems.

The agreement with EcoExtensive increases the participation of national operators in the construction of a rescue vessel Lifeguard. Before PGZ Stocznia Wojenna has reached an agreement with Szczecin Shipyard "The Volcano"which is responsible for building the unit's forward block.

This is an important signal for the Polish ship industry. Programme Lifeguard increasingly engages national competences, both in the construction of hull structures and in the supply of specialised ship systems. For the programme, this means less dependence on foreign suppliers and gradual strengthening of the native industrial base.
