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

Porterbrook以支持资产管理的创新而闻名，并正在积极寻求改善其机车车辆的环境性能。Porterbrook将与总部位于英国的排气和后处理技术的世界领先者Eminox合作，交付GR-EATS项目。GR-EATS寻求将Eminox成熟的道路后处理系统首次转移到铁路运营环境中，该系统广泛适用于重型车辆，包括公交车。我们的首次合作将把先进的排放技术集成到现有的柴油动车组(DMU)列车上，并在正常的客运服务中运行。我们将证明设备、轨道标准的一致性；量化耐久性和排放性能；并确定持续的维护要求。最先进的遥测将作为标准配备，以提供来自系统的实时车载诊断和减排性能数据。通过与First Group合作，通过Porterbrook的客户西南铁路，我们将改装158级动车组，并从列车司机、车辆段维护人员和其他利益相关者那里获得关于创新的宝贵反馈。“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车辆的所有者合作，开发和采用技术、燃料和控制装置，以减少与我们车队相关的温室气体排放。我们热衷于支持Porterbrook和Eminox的建议，即在英国铁路上试验改装后处理，目标是我们租赁的158级车队。这将使我们能够作为潜在客户，就系统的装修、持续运营和性能提供反馈。“GR-EATS将使轨道车辆后处理的技术和商业可行性得以建立，因此它可以提供给英国各地的‘第二代’动车组进行广泛的装修，从而显著减少工业机车车辆的排放。

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.
