JSMEA participates in OTC 2015
Japan pavilion to be organized at OTC 2016
Japan Ship Machiner y and Equipment
Association (JSMEA) participated in Offshore
Technology Conference 2015 (OTC 2015). OTC
is one of the world’s largest exhibitions for theoffshore oil and gas business. The 47th conference
was held on May 4-7 in Houston, Texas. JSMEA,
which also attended the event last year, has now
been to a total of three OTC exhibitions.
OTC 2015 welcomed 94,700 visitors, which
was the sixth largest attendance in the exhibition’s
history, though down from the record 108,300
visitors registered last year. Declines in oil prices
are thought to have had an adverse impact.
This year, JSMEA made use of its brochureand Web site (http://www.jsmea.or.jp/offshore/)to promote Japanese machinery and equipment
for offshore development projects. It ran a booth
together with Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK). From
the JSMEA side, member companies Kawasaki
Heavy Industries, Ltd., Nitto Chemical Industry
Co., Ltd. and Yamazaki Machinery ManufacturingCo., Ltd., marketed their respective products and

JSMEA, which had a booth in the arena during
its two prior attendances at OTC, promoted its
presence this year at the tent pavilion, which
attracts more people. Consequently, it greeted
a greater number of visitors than last year. The
association concluded that its products andservices achieved successful marketing.
At OTC 2015, JSMEA organized a networking
reception for offshore oil and gas businesses
for the first time. In doing so, the association
and New Wave Media, Inc. of the United States
worked hand in hand to make the best of theirrespective networks. The reception was attended
by approximately 120 people, leading JSMEA toview the event as highly successful. The attendees
represented enterprises from a wide variety ofbusiness fields from many countries, such as
offshore oil and gas developers Exxon Mobile
Corporation, INPEX Corporation, Japan Petroleum

voyage information, PMS (Power Management
System), cargo handling equipments, ballast
equipments, etc. Information is retrieved safely andspeedy by using appointed network, and integrated
operation status information are to be recognizedby the system as one. The most advantage ofthe integrating information is not only to use forthe maintenance like identifying the failure of theequipments, but also for the establishment of
the advanced system for the environmental load
reduction activities that is an EEOI analysis for
SEEMP by using Big data.
① High PerformanceHigh speed sampling by the high-performance
CPU is established. System provides a highly
accurate First alarm to judge the failure factors.
② High Control Functionality
Ship’s equipment information are transferredby high-speed and safety by redundancy. Systemstores customers’ needed information as Voyage
information, PMS, control for cargos, ballasts,
valves, pumps and fans. For instr uction on
information which needed to be feedback, PID
control system is equiped.
③ High Reliability
HOT SPARE and HOT SWAP are available
for the needs to exchange CPU and unit without
turning off the power.
④ Advantage
System accumulates the data of monitoring andcontrol on the server. When retrieving the data,application for the maintenance like fault diagnosis
and may set the unified operation order of the plantfacilities. It provides high-performance service
with the needs of customers like an EEOI analysis
for SEEMP and the MRV of the greenhouse gas
emissions. In addition, ship’ data may be added

European system (DVB-T2), American system(ATSC), and Chinese system (DTMB). Therefore,
in order to view terrestrial TV on ships travelingto various countries throughout the world, it has
been necessary to prepare receivers (TVs ortuners) compatible with the different terrestrial
digital broadcasting standards at each port ofcall. In addition, even if TVs or tuners compatible
with the standards of each country are prepared,
troublesome procedures have been necessary
when viewing with a single TV, such as preparing
multiple devices and switching the wiring each time.
To enable ship-owners to improve entertainment
equipment and reduce the burden on ship crew
under these conditions, Kyokuyo Electric hasdeveloped a terrestrial digital tuner enabling
reception of all terrestrial digital broadcasting
standards with a single device

Silencer with waste-heat recovery capability
In addition to reducing noise, Hi Eco Silencer
cuts fuel consumption, CO2 emissions at the same time!
Introduction

To reduce operating costs and arrest global warming, the shipping
industry is, as with other fields of business, taking various actions
to save energy. Presently, however, waste heat from main power
generators is not recovered at all; it is released in the air untreated.
As such, Taiko Engineering Co., Ltd. has added a new functionof recovering waste heat (economizers) to its silencers for diesel
engines the company’s flagship product—7,300 units of which havebeen delivered to date. With the new capability, the Hi Eco Silencer
can now recover waste-heat energy with high efficiency from main
engines and make effective use of it. Consequently, fuel consumed
in auxiliary boilers can be reduced quantitatively, leading to curtailing
operating costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Steam supply systems for ships at anchor

Contrasted in Chart 1 are conventional and waste-heat recovery
systems in which steam is supplied while ships are at anchor.

Auxiliary boiler system

Main generator engine

Main generator engine(1) Conventional system
A conventional steam supply system, which generates steam byworking an auxiliary boiler, is described on the left side of Chart 1. In
this system, all waste-heat energy from the main power generators
is released in the air, because the silencers are not capable ofrecovering exhaust heat.
(2) Waste heat recovery system
Shown on the right is the steam supply system with a silencer,
which Taiko Engineering has developed, that is capable of recovering
waste heat. Heat-transfer tubes (heat exchangers) in the silencers
function to recover energy from waste heat (and generate steam),
enabling users to obtain a sufficient quantity of heat (steam) that canbe used for on-board comforts for crewmembers and other purposes.

Features of Hi Eco Silencer(1) Recovers waste-heat energy and turns it into steam for reuse.
(i) Curtails fuel costs for using auxiliary boilers.
(ii) Reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
(2) Capable of recovering waste heat.
(i) Saves space as users no longer need to have both silencers
and waste-heat recovery instruments.
(3) Adopts a water-tube system for exchanging heat.
(i) Achieves higher efficiencies (higher heat-recovery rates).
(ii) Reduces pressure losses (an advantage when scrubbers
and others are added)

Results of on-board tests for Hi Eco Silencer

When construction work was completed for installing Hi Eco
Silencers, Taiko Engineering made sure that machinery andequipment, plumbing, meters and other parts and components
were all working properly. After that, it started power generators,
auxiliary boilers and other existing machinery and equipment onboard a vessel, and activated the waste-heat recovery silencers.
The company then conducted on-board tests while confirming
there were no problems adapting the Hi Eco Silencer to an existing
steam system. Immediately after the installation work, the first onboard test was carried out. In a period of two years, the company
visited the ship a total of seven times to takemeasurements for changes made over time inperformance, fuel reduction and other aspects.
As a result of investigating the quantity of fuel oil
consumed in boilers from the vessel’s log book,
Taiko Engineering learned that the ship with Hi Eco
Silencers installed consumed 0.8 kiloliters of fuel oil
per day, a reduction of 0.4 kiloliters from 1.2 kiloliters
used without the waste-heat recovery silencers.
<Results of on-board tests>
Chart 2
(1) Quantity of steam generated
The numerical performance target of 100 kilograms per hour or more
was cleared. Taiko Engineering also confirmed that applying sootblowers was effective to lessen secular changes.
(2) It confirmed that the Hi Eco Silencer performed even higher
than needed to achieve the goal of reducing pressure losses to 1.5
kilopascals or lower and attenuations to 15 decibel A or lower.
(3) With reductions in fuel costs for operating auxiliary boilers, theinitial costs for installing Hi Eco Silencers can be recovered in aperiod of three to five years (depending on ship type).
Taiko Engineering is deeply grateful to Japan Ship Machinery andEquipment Association (JSMEA) for helping it develop the Hi Eco
Silencer with financial support from The Nippon Foundation.

About JSTo eliminate non-genuine products

For ship owners, operating their ships safely is essential when oﬀering services to customers and having crewmembers fulﬁll their on-board duties. Japanese ship machinery and equipment makers assist ship owners by manufacturing products of high quality and providing professional after-sales services.
In recent years, however, products of poor quality that are counterfeits of Japanese ship machinery and equipment
parts and components have been used widely. It is feared that such non-genuine products could cause defects ofship machinery and equipment, and inviting ship accidents and subsequently pollution of the marine environment.
In addition, ships could be banned from operating if discovered in ship, port-state-control (PSC) and other inspections to have machinery and equipment products that do not comply with international conventions (i.e., the SOLAS
and MARPOL conventions).

JSMEA Genuine Product LabelIn some cases, ship owners use non-genuine
products, believing they are genuine products,
when non-genuine products are delivered
together with genuine products, making themhard to diﬀerentiate.
As such, the JSMEA has come up with the JSMEAGenuine Product Label. Currently, the label is usedby the member companies listed below.
