Causes of the High Acid PH Numbers of EGCS Exhaust Gas on The Mt. Succes Altair XLII Ship

Abstract

EGCS is a device, machine, new technology in the maritime world where the main function pf this technology is to overcome air pollution in this era due to emissions from exhaust gases produced by industrial machines and motorized vehicles that can pollute the air and interfere with the respiratory health of living things. The researcher used the SWOT and SHELL methods to find out what factors caused the high acid pH number detected in the gas analyzer, by conducting interviews during the study and distributing questionnaires to the influencing factors of service engineers and machinists, HL Saldanha Bay. The results obtained from this study indicate that the high acid pH number detected comes from poor fuel quality, of course there are other factors but by using the SWOT and SHELL methods, the results obtained from the highest matrix, namely the fuel quality factor.
