2 PagesCatalytic Silencer for Meeting RICE NESHAP Standards A Mid-Western USA utility company was interested in retro?tting their 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 ?rst engine for retro?t was a 3500 hp Fairbanks Morse, 2-cycle diesel. The existing silencer was on a platform and engineered to site-speci?c standards for structural load, back-pressure and sound attenuation. Solution DCL designed an oxidation catalytic silencer to ?t the existing mounting points and to meet the site speci?cations for wind and structural loads. The new catalytic silencer ?t directly onto the same mounting points and envelope of
