The use of renewable fuels may be an action leading to the reduction of pollutant emissions. This group includes biobutanol as a product of biomass fermentation. Some of its physicochemical properties, including the ability to mix with hydrocarbon fuels, make it suitable for use as a fuel component for marine diesel engines. The article presents the results of research on the concentration of exhaust gas components of a Sulzer 6AL20 / 24 diesel engine powered by a mixture of n-butane and diesel oil. The emission intensity were calculated for the tested components: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides. The emission intensity surface graphs were created based on the calculated data. The tests were carried out using different concentrations of the mixture of n-butanol and marine fuel.

In these years, a problem of air pollution in a global scale becomes a matter of great concern. In such social situation, diesel engines are strongly required to reduce the NOx and particulate emission in the exhaust gas. In this paper, measurements of particulate emissions from a low speed two-stroke marine diesel engine were conducted with several kinds of diesel oil and a heavy fuel oil, to know the characteristics of particulate emissions at the present situation. The effects of engine load and sulfur content of the fuel on the particulate emission have been examined. The particulate emission from the test engine was measured by partial-flow dilution tunnel system, and particulate matter collected on the filter was divided into four components, SOF (soluble organic fraction), sulfate, bound water and dry soot, by Soxlet extraction and ion chromatograph. Results show that the particulate emission from the test engine operated with heavy fuel oil is three times as much as the value with diesel oil and that not only sulfate but SOF and dry soot concentration increase with the increase in fuel sulfur content. It is also found that the conversion rate from sulfur in fuel into sulfate in particulate matter is nearly independent of the sulfur content in the fuel and increases with the increase in the engine load.

Urea-SCR catalytic converter can effectively reduce the NOx emission of diesel engines, but meanwhile catalytic converter will cause some pressure loss in the exhaust system, which has negative influences on the engine performances. In this paper, the method of theoretical analysis calculated the pressure loss of the SCR catalytic converter, and designing a new type of exhaust gas pipe. Through the test to meet the design requirements,the results can provide a reference for optimum design of SCR catalytic converters and assembling.
