LNC Marine

Primary Combustion Control for Marine Diesel Engines

Target Audience

  • Commercial shipping fleets
  • Port operators
  • Bunkering infrastructure providers
  • Vessels operating in environmentally sensitive regions

The Challenge

The marine sector is facing increasing pressure from:

  • Stricter emission regulations
  • Port entry restrictions
  • Growing carbon reporting requirements
  • High costs associated with downtime and regulatory non-compliance

At the same time, pollutants are generated during combustion,
while emission control systems — including scrubbers — operate only after pollutants have already been formed.

What MiaNOx Does

  • MiaNOx LNC Marine controls the combustion process within marine diesel engines, preventing the formation of Particulate Matter (PM) and Black Carbon during the combustion stage.
  • The technology operates before pollutants enter the exhaust stream, reducing the load on emission control systems and stabilizing combustion performance under real operating conditions.

  • High-utilization commercial fleets

Operational Model

Conventional Operation:

Soot Formation Smoke Emissions Increased System Load Compliance Risk

With MiaNOx:

Reduced PM Formation Stable Combustion Lower Load Improved Regulatory Compliance

Short Formula

Less PM Less Smoke Lower Load Better Compliance

Scrubbers and Emission Control Systems:

Pollutants are formed

Exhaust gases are treated

Additional operational costs

MiaNOx Approach:

Combustion is controlled at the source

Pollutant formation is prevented

Reduced load on scrubbers and emission control systems

The technology operates inside the combustion chamber and reduces the load on exhaust treatment
and emission control systems without modification of marine propulsion systems.
