Objectives:
Provides a guide for fleet operators on retrofit diesel abatement for particulate matter. It also includes information on technical options, benefits and costs. It aims to be a starting point on particulate matter abatement rather than a holistic guide.
Methodology:
It reviews the laws applicable with emission standards. Furthermore, it reviews commercially available options for retrofit exhaust abatement.
Key Findings:
-
Wall flow filters reduce PM emissions potentially by more than 95% in terms of mass and more than 99% in terms of numbers.
-
Partial flow filters potentially reduces PM emissions by greater 30 – 60%.
-
Diesel oxidation catalysts reduce PM emissions in terms of mass by less than 25%.
