Permit filter verified for prime power generators

CleanAir Systems has received verification for prime power generators by the California Air Resources Board for their Permit diesel particulate filter as a Level 3 diesel emission control device

CleanAir Systems has received verification for prime power generators by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for their Permit diesel particulate filter as a Level 3 diesel emission control device.

According to an Executive Order dated November 6th, ARB verifies that the Permit Filter reduces emissions of diesel particulate matter by 85 percent or greater, for use in stationary prime generators with particulate matter (PM) levels of up to 0.2 g/bhp-hr.

Prime power stationary generators are designated as power sources operating as a principal source of power and are usually in continuous operation for long periods of time.

These include generators used in remote areas as a primary power source, as well as those used for self-generation by corporations, schools or hospitals producing their own power.

The ARB also extended verification of the CleanAir Systems Permit filter until 2009 for use on stationary emergency generators, to include all applications tested or certified to particulate matter (PM) levels of up to 0.2 g/bhp-hr.

Emergency generators operate usually less than one hundred hours per year and are used as supplemental or back-up power generation in case of power loss.

For complete verification information on the Permit diesel particulate filter and engine operating criteria, the Executive Orders and Attachments can be found on the ARB website.
