What it is:

A Diesel Particulate Filter is a filtration system designed to reduce particulate, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions. This solution can bring existing CAT 3400, 3500 and 3600 Series diesel engines into regulatory compliance.

How it works:

A series of alternately blocked channels forces the exhaust gas to flow through the channel walls, where the particulates are physically captured and chemical reactions take place. Carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are converted into carbon dioxide and water. Backpressure is reduced through a process called passive regeneration that automatically removes excess particulate matter.

What it does:

• Particulate reduction greater than 85%*
• Carbon monoxide reduction greater than 90%*
• Hydrocarbon reduction greater than 90%*
• Diagnostic module for backpressure and exhaust temperature
• Backpressure less than 18 of water (critical grade silencer)
• Alarm notification for high pressure levels

* When properly sized, clean, operating about 300°C and using ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.

Peterson at the Forefront of clean technology

Peterson Power is always a leader in using new technology.  We've worked with several products and we insist on only offering the best product based on your needs.  One DPF that is currently in the market is manufactured by RYPOS, Inc.

The RYPOS DPF is a highly effective diesel particulate filter system for exhaust emission control. The system consists of filter housing, flow control, electrical control circuit, and filter cartridges. The soot DPF itself is composed of sintered metal fibers that are shaped into filter elements and then incorporated into filter cartridges. These sintered metal fiber cartridges are capable of capturing the very fine carbon particles present in the exhaust stream, with high efficiency and high holding capacity. The filter is regenerated through the presence of an electric current sufficient to heat the element to cause the collected soot to burn. The filter and heating element are one and the same. The electrical control circuitry automatically monitors and controls the regeneration of the filter cartridges.  Please visit RYPOS, Inc. for more information and to learn more.

MAINtaining Your Diesel particulate filter

Today, many generators are being factory equipped or retrofitted with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) to meet current emission regulations or bring existing diesel engines into regulatory compliance. With the addition of a DPF and added backpressure, the way we maintain and operate the generator may need to be changed.  Learn More....
