INNOVATION EDGE™: DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER SYSTEM
Murphy has installed diesel particulate filter systems on its diesel-powered plant, reducing particle emissions by up to 99%.
Description
The emission regulations for diesel engines are becoming much stricter worldwide, making it necessary to modify current exhaust systems.
The diesel particulate filter is a system designed to remove soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. The systems BA and BA-B range has been developed by Baumot.
Baumot’s diesel particulate filter system has two main versions – active and passive. The passive system has two different models for use on engines of different age – Baumot BA and Baumot BA-B. Murphy has retro-fitted both BA and BA-B models onto its diesel-powered plant.
The system captures soot by passing the exhaust gases through a series of filters. Over time, the soot builds up within the filters and is reduced to ash residue through the heat of the exhaust in a process known as regeneration.
With the Baumot systems, regeneration is possible with an exhaust temperature as low as 200°C. This makes them extremely versatile and suitable for diesel construction plant, where exhaust temperatures are relatively low in comparison to other diesel engine vehicles.
