CleanAIR Systems Wins U.S. Mines Safety & Health Administration Approval for DPF/Fuel-Borne Catalyst
Diesel Fuel News - January 2003
The platinum-cerium FBC enhances soot oxidation in a lightly-catalyzed CleanAIR particulate filter - and it's now officially approved by MSHA for use in mines. The new MSHA approval might also spur DPF-maker interest to pursue "VERT" certification for European mining applications. The system not only slashes particulate matter (PM) emissions by some 89% but also avoids nitrogen dioxide emissions sometimes caused by DPFs with high levels of precious metal catalyst loadings. MSHA ruled out use of certain catalyzed DPFs because CO2 would be a lung irritant in mine applications.
