Diesel Emission Retrofit Projects Why Retrofit ?
Why Reduce Emissions? Economic Effects Environmental Effects Health Effects EPA estimates that for every $1 spent on retrofit, there is a $13 return on healthcare cost

Nitrogen Oxides – air quality / smog (Ground Level Ozone) PM - health effects 56% emitted of PM attributable to diesel engine Black smoke HC / CO / Toxic Hydrocarbons – smell Retrofitting Existing Diesel Engines with Emission Control Technologies is the primary way to reduce emissions Key Regulated By-products
Ways to Reduce Emissions? CCV • Engine design changes • Combustion • Air handling • Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) • Closed Crankcase Ventilation (CCV) • Fuels • Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel • Additives? • Water emulsions? • Biodiesel? • Exhaust after-treatment • Diesel Oxidation Catalysts – >25% PM, > 70%HC and >40% CO reduction • Passive (catalyzed) Filters - >85% PM reductions, HC & >70%CO reduction, • Active (electric, non-catalyzed) Filters - 85% PM reduction • NOx Reducing Catalysts - 85% PM reduction, 25% NOx reduction, HC & CO reduction • Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) 60-90% NOx reduction, HC & CO reduction Combustion advances EGR DPF
Verification • What does verified technology mean? • Process that EPA and CARB use to certify a technology does what the manufacturer claims. • Identifies application guidelines for each device • Identifies qualified engines and markets for that devices application • Why is using verified technology important? • Verification is required for most publicly funded projects • Enables a standardized understanding and classification of technologies • EPA • http://www.epa.gov/otaq/retrofit/verif-list.htm • EPA lists verified technologies alphabetically by Manufacturer • CARB • http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/verdev/vt/vt.htm • CARB lists verified technologies by classification • Level 1 = >25% • Level 2 = >50% • Level 3 = >85%
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst • The DOC may either replace or be added to the existing vehicle muffler. • Easily installs • Needs no maintenance • Requires no monitoring • Can be used with low-sulfur (500 ppm) or ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels (15 ppm) • Oxidation Catalyst Control Capabilities • PM >25% Reduction • CO >50% • HCs and Toxic HCs -- >70%
Crankcase Ventilation Filter • Closes the current open crankcase system by filtering blow-by gases thus removing oil residues and routing the residues and gases back into the engine. • Simple, high efficiency,serviceable • Interval – every3rd to 4th oil change • Additional 10% to 15% reduction in emissions. Replaceablefilter element
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst + Closed Crankcase Ventilation • Combines the benefits of both for additional emissions reductions. • Applies to many applications • The CCV Kit eliminates 100% of engine compartment blow-by. • Verified as a combination package by the EPA/CARB
Diesel Particulate Filter • The CRT filter is capable of converting > • 90% of Particulate matter • >90% Hydrocarbons • >70% Carbon Monoxide. • Requires Ultra Low Sulfur Fuel • Can use B20 bio-diesel fuel • Maintenance: • Periodic filter cleaning required • Vehicle requires datalogging for approval to retrofit • Retrofit DPFs are generally be installed as a passive system but active systems are available
Oxidation catalyst with Precious Metal Coating Diesel Particulate Filter Diesel Particulate Filter • Existing exhaust temperatures are used forPassive Regeneration • Oxidize injected fuel is used to produce heatfor Active Regeneration PM = 90% reduction HC = >90% reduction CO = >70% reduction
Heavy Duty Solution 2007 Particulate Filters are required on engines built after Jan1, 2007

Planning a Diesel Emission Retrofit Project Start with the Money
Retrofit Funding Sources • US EPA • Grants • Santee Cooper consent decree • Retrofitted 105 school buses, 60 in upstate region • Smartway Program • Rebates to individuals who retrofit • State DAQ • Spartanburg County EPF project • County and City Clean Air Stakeholders • State DOT • Private Corporations • Duke Power • Cleaning up power plants and support equipment
Compile A Fleet List • Why does an accurate up to date fleet list matter? • Not every engine can be retrofitted • There is no “one size fits all” retrofit device • Fleet list is the road map of the project • Allows vehicles to be sorted into emission reduction “buckets” • Retrofit • Repower • Replace • Rebuild • Refuel
Fleet List Equipment Make:___________________ Equipment Model:___________________ Engine Manufacturer:_________________ Engine Model:_______________________ Engine Year:________________________ Engine Horse Power:_________________ EPA Engine Family #:_________________ Quantity of Like Units:_________________ Muffler Part # or Dimensions:___________
Vehicle Retrofit Priority • Reduction Goals • Remaining Service Life • Retrofit Device Maintenance • Annual costs and fleet impact • The Right Technology In The Right Place
Product Decision Tree • What is the projects goal? • PM Reduction • NOx Reduction • Verification Required ? • (CARB / EPA) • Manufacturers warranty consideration • Fuel Type? • ULSD (15 ppm) • Off-road fuel • BioDiesel • Engine Age • EPA Certification Year/Emission Tier Level? • Duty cycle/temperature of application? • Datalogging needed
Timing • What is the projects timeline? • Funding Source • Required Installation due date • Installation: • When are the vehicles available? • When will the retrofit devices be available? • Will installation be done by the retrofit vendor? • Transportation to and from • Down time • How long to install the device
Reminders 1.Funding: - You cannot receive funding if you do not apply. - If you do not succeed on your first attempt try again. - Build and Maintain working relationships with air quality stakeholders. 2. Compiling Fleet Information: - Maintain a fleet list of potential retrofit equipment. 3. What technology to use: -The right technology on the right application 4. Vehicle Priority: -Remaining years of service -Quantity of vehicles 5.. Cost Considerations: -Amount and type of reduction you are trying to achieve. -Maintenance vs. no maintenance technology 6.Timing: -Funding dealines -Installation constraints
