Daphne Technology has received Approval in Principle (AiP) from Lloyd’s Register for its SlipPure™ system, incorporating Plasma-Catalytic technology. This innovative solution reduces plasma power consumption and achieves high methane slip reductions at lower exhaust temperatures than traditional catalyst-only solutions. The system has been thoroughly tested using exhaust gas from a land-based test engine in Germany.
Methane slip is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, with a much greater global warming potential than CO2. The Plasma-Catalytic process demonstrated impressive results, with a 62% reduction in methane slip at 75% load and exhaust temperatures as low as 380 °C. This technology has the potential to make a real impact in reducing methane emissions and improving environmental sustainability.
Dr. Mario Michan, CEO and Founder of Daphne Technology, expressed gratitude for the AiP and emphasized the readiness of their technology for market deployment. Lloyd’s Register Global Gas Segment Director, Panos Mitrou, praised the advancements made by Daphne Technology in helping companies effectively reduce methane slip in various industries. The partnership between Daphne Technology and Lloyd’s Register continues to drive innovation in emissions reduction technologies.
