Abstract Based on the analysis of the diesel engine post-processing technology line, a DOC-DPF tail gas treatment device is proposed. The exhaust system of marine diesel engine is reformed, the particulate matter purification test is carried out in the exhaust system installation DOC-DPF tail gas treatment device, and the exhaust particulate matter of the marine diesel engine is detected by the automatic smoke tester and other instruments. The results show that the new ship exhaust particulate disposal device can effectively reduce particulate emissions from ship exhaust and is suitable for ships.
