Marine SCR Urea Consumption & NOx Cost Calculator

Estimate NOx mass entering an SCR system, NOx removed, urea-solution demand, storage endurance and annual compliance cost. Advanced mode separates engine operating segments, Tier-reference limits, dosing reserve, energy/fuel penalty, catalyst replacement and lifecycle cost.

Engine & NOx Basis

Use measured, certified or project-specific engine-out NOx where available. Simple mode is an annual screening calculation, not a certification test.

% of rated power during SCR operating hours.
Hours relevant to the entered annual screen.
g/kWh before SCR.

Urea & Cost Basis

Mass % pure urea in solution.
kg pure urea / kg NOx removed. Use supplier/certification basis.
Currency / tonne solution.
Annual service, inspection and fixed maintenance allowance.
↑Advanced SCR operating modelBuild NOx and urea demand from multiple engine/load segments. Tier limits are shown as regulatory references only; applicability depends on the engine, ship and operating area.

Engine Operating Segments

Each enabled row creates annual engine work, engine-out NOx, actual SCR-active NOx removal and post-SCR emissions. Segment labels remain screen/export only.

Engine Segment NOx ContributionAdvanced mode shows which operating segments create the engine-out NOx and reductant demand.
Urea Price × NOx Demand SensitivityAnnual SCR cost as urea price and engine-out NOx demand move around the base case.
Advanced Stress CasesEditable downside/upside cases recalculate urea demand, post-SCR NOx and annual SCR cost.

It does not certify compliance, determine Tier applicability, establish an approved dosing map, calculate ammonia slip, replace EIAPP/Technical File requirements, or substitute for engine/SCR maker data and Administration/class procedures.
