Guide on RECD (Retro Emission Control Device) for Diesel Generators

Addressing the Air Pollution Problem

Air pollution poses a significant threat to public health, with diesel generators accounting for approximately 25% of harmful particulate matter emissions, including carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. Retrofitting diesel generators with appropriate technology can substantially reduce this particulate matter by minimum of 70%.

Recognizing the environmental impact of diesel generators, the National Green Tribunal has issued directives to all states mandating the retrofitting of diesel generators.

Additionally, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) approved laboratories have provided certification for these RECD technologies.

Certification Bodies

  • 1. The Automative Research Association of India
  • 2. International Centre for Automative Technology

The CPCB notification

The directives extend to all states, urging the retrofitting of diesel generators approved by CPCB with a capacity exceeding 125 kVA or, alternatively, transitioning to gas generators.

These measures aim to mitigate the environmental footprint of diesel generators and promote cleaner energy alternatives.

Exploring the RECD Device

Now that we've highlighted the essential importance of retrofitting your diesel generators, it's understandable to have inquiries and uncertainties regarding the subsequent actions.

For instance:

  • Determining the necessary tests and approvals that a retrofit device must adhere to.
  • Grasping the structural alterations involved.
  • Are there ongoing maintenance expenses associated with them?

Exploring various types of RECD Devices for your Diesel Generators

Wet Scrubber Polluted Gas enters the chamber and is introduced into a wet scrubber; contact with water facilitates carbon settlement inside the chamber; separated water undergoes treatment for disposal or reuse.
Electrostatic Precipitator In an Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP), Carbon particles in the emitted gas are charged and get attached to electrodes in the chamber, thus allowing clean air to pass through while the carbon is trapped.
Catalyst Converter The catalytic converter comprises two stages: In the first stage, air passes through a ceramic filter, converting PM10 particles to water vapor and carbon dioxide. In the second stage, air flows through a ceramic filter, where PM2.5 particles are converted into water vapor and carbon dioxide.

Comparing RECD Devices

Comparing which one would be best option based on key factors such as:

  • Evaluation based on CPCB norms for PM control efficiency.
  • Assessment of backpressure on DG sets.
  • Maintenance requirements for the RECD device.
  • Consideration of the device's footprint.

Based on the above parameters, the catalyst converter emerges as the optimal choice. We offer the leading Catalyst Converter RECD device. Reach out to us for more information
