As the world moves towards a sustainable future, industries are increasingly adopting technologies to reduce emissions and improve air quality. One such advancement is the Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) for Diesel Generators, a critical solution for minimizing particulate matter (PM) emissions from diesel gensets. Sudhir Power, in collaboration with Pi-Green, has introduced an innovative filter-less technology that enhances environmental sustainability while maintaining operational efficiency.
The Need for Emission Control in Diesel Generators
Diesel generators (DG sets) are widely used across industries for backup power solutions. However, they are a significant source of air pollution, emitting high levels of particulate matter and other pollutants. The introduction of RECDs is essential in ensuring compliance with environmental regulations set by the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and State Pollution Control Boards.
Sudhir Power provides type-approved retrofits for diesel generators, complying with the directives of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). These devices are rated among the best globally for reducing air pollution, offering a revolutionary solution that enables PM reduction with more than 70% efficiency.
Key Features of Sudhir Power’s RECD
- No Manual Cleaning – Eliminates the need for regular maintenance by operators.
- No Choking – Ensures uninterrupted generator performance.
- No Replacement – Long-lasting and durable technology.
- Low Maintenance – Requires minimal servicing, reducing operational costs.
- No Water, No Chemicals, No Solvent, No Filter – An eco-friendly solution with zero additional waste generation.
Operating Principle of the Retrofit Emission Control Device
The Retrofit Emission Control Device operates on Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP) technology, making it a highly efficient method for particulate matter reduction. The working principle includes:
- Post-Muffler Installation – The RECD is installed after the diesel genset muffler without altering the existing setup.
- Electrostatic Charge Application – Exhaust gases pass through an electrical discharge created by a high-voltage DC field.
- Particulate Matter Capture – PM acquires an electrical charge and is attracted to the oppositely charged electrode.
- Agglomeration and Removal – The collected particulates form larger clusters, which are then scraped off using a patented mechanism for environmentally safe disposal.
Performance and Durability
Sudhir Power ensures that the RECD is built with robust components, adhering to stringent quality requirements. Key advantages include:
- Heat Resistant Paint and Galvanized Sheets – Provides protection from environmental factors.
- Enclosed Structural Members – Enhances durability and longevity.
- Thermal Management for Power and Control Units – Ensures optimal performance in various conditions.
- Well Designed Seals and Interfaces – Prevents leakage and ensures operational safety.
Installation Aspects
Sudhir Power simplifies the installation process with a well-defined checklist and pre-order site survey for feasibility, especially for large-scale deployments. The company ensures:
- Efficient Integration – The RECD is seamlessly installed without affecting the performance of existing diesel gensets.
- Real-Time Monitoring – Advanced analytics and control mechanisms help optimize performance.
