IMO Environmental Regulations for Marine Engines: How to Comply Without Diesel Particulate Filters?
This article discusses the compliance of marine operators with the IMO environmental regulations without the use of DPF systems. It discusses the use of VLSFO fuel, water emulsions, turbo upgrades, LNG engines, scrubbers, and hybrid systems as alternatives to DPF systems, aiding in the reduction of emissions, costs, and improvement of efficiency over time.
Volvo DPF Delete for Off-Road Use: What You Need to Know
Volvo trucks and construction equipment have DPF systems integrated for emissions compliance. However, in off-road applications, these systems lead to frequent clogging, downtime, and increased cost of ownership. This article will describe the function of the DPF, the reasons for its problematic operation in low-RPM, and high-load conditions, and the advantages of a DPF delete. Furthermore, it will describe the process including the DPF removal, ECM tuning, and will address the major risks and the legal aspects for off-road equipment owners.
