Knowledge Aware Design

presented by

Auros Knowledge Systems

The Auros Knowledge System is used by global engineering and manufacturing companies to ensure their products are designed in compliance with the latest standards and requirements consistently across locations and manufacturing facilities. With it, all types of knowledge can be maintained and delivered, including: regulatory requirements, design standards and guides, customer requirements, best practices, and lessons learned. Auros maintains the company’s engineering knowledge in a single active knowledge database that automatically provisions the required and relevant knowledge into existing engineering workflows when and where it’s needed. As the knowledge is applied, Auros assesses the application of the knowledge and documents whether the design is compliant, providing traceability of the design evolution.

Going Water Lubricated – The Benefits of the COMPAC System

presented by

Thordon Bearings

Thordon Bearings is a manufacturer of oil and grease free polymer bearings, seals and other shaftline components. In this session you will learn about the cost saving technologies of an open seawater lubricated propeller shaft system as opposed to a sealed oil or EAL lubricated system – which are currently utilized by most commercial ship owners.  Learn how to be future compliant and reduce your operating costs with a sustainable and proven solution.

NOXX HYD: Antifouling Protection Without Harming the Environment

presented by

EMCS Industries

The two main objectives of any anti-fouling system are to prevent fouling from occurring on the structures to be protected and to minimize or eliminate any negative effects on the surrounding environment. EMCS Industries is proud to offer a non-polluting anti-fouling solution that will work from the smallest recreational vessel to the largest cruise ship. It can also be applied to structures in the marine environment that can be difficult to protect with conventional means. NOXX HYD anti-fouling system is a electronic system that is fitted on the inside of the hull or structure to be protected. he system comprises one or more control panels and a set of emitters operating on 12 volts DC with minimal energy consumption. The control panels can be fitted in any convenient location and all the emitters are fitted on the inboard side of the hull, sea chest, crossover, piping systems, strainers etc. The Marelco™ NOXX™ LFP emitters produce a low volume, low frequency audio signal that is transmitted through the vessel surfaces to be protected. The signal is “unacceptable” to the invaders and is seen to them as a predatory environment, keeping them away. This therefore provides complete protection against infestation by marine pets such as barnacles, mussels, pinworms and other crustaceans. The equipment can operate continuously to provide ongoing protection. It does not interfere with any electrolysis, marine depth sounders or radio equipment. The system works regardless of the material used on the hull or inboard applications. There is no need to bring the vessel out of the water to install the equipment. The installation of this equipment does not remove pest growth already present. Consequently, once installed the area must be free of fouling at the time of commissioning, thereafter the Marelco™ NOXX™ HYD will keep all areas fouling free.

Rethinking Ballast Water Management

presented by

BOS Global

There are about 100 ballast water systems in the market. Generally, most technologies involve methods of filtering off bacteria and pathogen cells larger than 50 microns in the first stage, and then follow by the processes of actively killing the remaining bacteria and pathogens with treatment options such as UV light, electrochlorination, deoxygenation, heating/pasteurisation, injection of active substances, for example.

The problem with the current water ballast treatment systems is that they need a lot of energy which causes more pollution to the air while trying to save the health of the ocean. The systems also often come with high cost requiring retrofit work for existing ships above 400 gt.

There must be a better wayto protect the ocean from the invasive species. In fact, IMO has recommended in its guidelines, verbatim, that a more exhaustive list of standard methods and innovative research techniques be considered in anticipation of the evolution of better methodologies.

The mandatory requirement is that the disgorge ballast water must meet the ballast water discharge standard which is D2 standard by USCG or the revised G8 standard of IMO. Bos Natural Ballast is first of its kind ballast water management system that uses a ballast water measuring and monitoring feedback methodology to ensure compliance to D2 standard without the increased GHG emission and enormous CAPEX/OPEX. Most BWTS in the market do not have any feedback nor monitor their discharge although certified.

 3D Laser Scanning for the Marine Industry

presented by

Summit Engineering and Design

There are about 100 ballast water systems in the market. Generally, most technologies involve methods of filtering off bacteria and pathogen cells larger than 50 microns in the first stage, and then follow by the processes of actively killing the remaining bacteria and pathogens with treatment options such as UV light, electrochlorination, deoxygenation, heating/pasteurisation, injection of active substances, for example.

Summit Engineering and Design has been presenting 3D Laser Scanning to the Marine Industry at SNAME since 2011. This presentation goes beyond the basics of 3D Laser Scanning detailing many practical challenges that Summit has overcome to be able to effectively apply this technology to the Marine Industry. In the marine industry, efficiency is everything. When it comes to engineering and design, few things can match the power and functionality of 3D imaging. From vessel construction to repair and maintenance, the uses for 3D imaging technologies are vast. The practice goes far and beyond traditional survey techniques, allowing for increased observation, extraction and modeling capabilities. And with precision accuracy and customizable deliverables, few documentation practices can compare to 3D laser scanning.

Naval Architects Meet CFD

presented by

Simerics

There is a large void in the CFD (Computational Fluids Dynamics) marketplace where CAD and Analyst CFD software have been separated! Come learn how Orca3D and Simerics were able to solve this problem and what it means for you to fill this void. Why haven’t Naval Architects been able to use CFD? Why has this void in the Marine market existed? In this presentation Naval Architects will hear about what needs to change so they can use CFD to reduce design costs and time and improve designs with less.
