Case Study
Catalytic Converter for 2 Cycle EMD Diesel Engine
Catalytic Converter for 2 Cycle EMD Diesel Engine A utility company was interested in retro?tting their emergency diesel generators for compliance with the 2013 RICE NESHAP rule set by the United States EPA. These are the Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. Challenge The engine for retro?t was a 3150 kW EMD20-645, 2-cycle diesel. Solution DCL designed a QUICK-LID® oxidation catalytic converter to meet an emission target of 70% CO destruction. The catalytic converter achieved 86% CO destruction, exceeding the RICE NESHAP standard. The new catalytic silencer ?t onto exhaust system upstream of the existing silencer. A Continuous Parameter Monitoring System (CPMS) was included in the project.
