Green Rail - Exhaust After Treatment System ("GR-EATS")

Porterbrook在支持资产管理的创新方面享有盛誉，并积极寻求改善其铁路车辆的环境绩效。Porterbrook将与总部位于英国的废气和后处理技术领域的全球领导者Eminox合作，提供GR-EATS项目。GR-EATS寻求将Eminox经过验证的道路后处理系统首次应用于铁路运营环境，该系统广泛应用于重型车辆，包括公共汽车。我们的首次合作将把先进的排放技术整合到现有的柴油多单元列车（DMU）上，并在正常的客运服务中运行。我们将证明设备齐全，符合轨道标准；量化耐久性和排放性能；确定持续的维护需求。最先进的遥测技术将作为标准配备，以提供实时机载诊断和来自系统的减排性能数据。作为项目的一部分，将利用先进的催化剂技术在首次铁路应用中克服铁路特有的挑战，例如高排气温度占空比。通过与第一集团的合作，通过Porterbrook的客户西南铁路，我们将修改158级DMU，并从火车司机、车场维护人员和其他利益相关者那里获得宝贵的创新反馈。“西南铁路致力于支持有关气候变化的国际协议，并全力支持与我们租赁的机车车辆的所有者合作，开发和采用技术，燃料和控制，以减少与我们的车队相关的温室气体排放。”我们热衷于支持Porterbrook和Eminox提出的在英国铁路上试用改造后处理的建议，目标是我们租赁的158级车队。这将使我们能够提供反馈，作为一个潜在的客户，对设备，正在进行的操作和系统的性能。“GR-EATS将使铁路车辆后处理的技术和商业可行性得以确立，因此它可以在英国乃至海外的‘第二代’dmu中广泛安装，从而显着减少工业铁路车辆的排放。”

Porterbrook has a reputation for innovation in support of asset management and is actively looking to improve the environmental performance of their rolling stock. Porterbrook will collaborate with Eminox, a world-leader in exahust and after-treatment technology, based in the UK, to deliver the GR-EATS project. GR-EATS seeks to transfer Eminox's proven on-road after-treatment system, widely fitted to heavy duty vehicles, including buses, to a railway operating environment for the first time.Our first-of-a-kind collaboration will integrate advanced emissions technology onto an existing Diesel Multiple Unit (DMU) train and operate it in normal passenger service. We will prove fitout, rail standards conformance; quantify durability and emissions performance; and ascertain ongoing maintenance requirements. State of the art telemetry will be fitted as standard to provide real-time onboard diagnostics and abatement performance data from the system. Rail-specific challenges, such as high exhaust temperature duty cycles, will be overcome as part of the project, utilising advanced catalyst technology in the first on-rail application.By partnering with First Group, through Porterbrook's customer South Western Railway, we will modify a Class 158 DMU and gain valuable feedback on the innovation from the train's drivers, depot maintenance staff and other stakeholders."South Western Railway is committed to supporting international agreements on climate change and fully support working with the owners of the rolling stock we lease in the development and adoption of technologies, fuels and controls to reduce greenhouse emissions associated with our fleets. We are keen to support Porterbrook and Eminox's proposal to trial a retrofit aftertreatment onto the UK railways, targeting the Class 158 fleet which we lease. This will enable us to provide feedback, as a potential customer, on the fitment, ongoing operations and performance of the system."GR-EATS will enable the technical and commercial viability of after-treatment for rail vehicles to be established, so it can be offered for widespread fitment to 'second generation' DMUs across the UK, and potentially overseas, thus signicantly reducing emissions from industry rolling stock.
