Wärtsilä Gas Solutions’ innovative system mitigates the risks associated with future fuels, such as ammonia, which can be hazardous to both health and the environment unless handled and stored with great care. With WARMS, typical emissions comprise nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O), with ammonia (NH3) emissions less than 30 ppm. In fact, in most cases NH3 emissions are close to 0 ppm.
The WARMS burner is not a traditional hydrocarbon-fuel based burner modified to accept NH3, it’s designed from scratch with pure NH3 as fuel in mind – with intent to avoid incidents; as with recent LH2 carrier (one able seaman away from being blown up)
Wärtsilä Gas Solutions patented and proprietary technology Wärtsilä Ammonia Release Mitigation Systems (WARMS) has received Approval in Principle from classification society DNV.
The approval in principle covers its use on ships fuelled by ammonia with the DNV Class notation gas fuelled ammonia or on gas tankers fuelled by ammonia with the DNV Class notation GF NH3.
