#catalyticconverter Replacement Information& #epa Installation Requirements When replacing a catalytic converter, it is important to follow the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) installation requirements. These requirements are in place to ensure that the new converter is properly installed and will function effectively to #reduceemissions. Here are some of the key EPA installation requirements: 1️⃣ The new converter must be a certified replacement for the original converter. 2️⃣ The converter must be installed in the same location as the original converter. 3️⃣ The converter must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 4️⃣ The converter must be properly sealed to prevent leaks. Failure to follow these requirements could result in fines of up to $4,000 per violation. Determining the Emission Family Number (EFN) The Emission Family Number (EFN) is a unique identifier that is assigned to each group of vehicles that have similar emission characteristics. The EFN is used to identify the correct replacement converter for a #vehicle . To find the EFN for a vehicle, you can look for a label on the vehicle's engine or under the vehicle's hood. The EFN may also be listed in the vehicle's owner's manual. If you are unable to find the EFN, you can contact the vehicle manufacturer for assistance. Finding a Universal Converter If you are unable to find a direct-fit replacement converter for a vehicle, you may be able to use a universal converter. #Universalconverters are not vehicle-specific, but they can be adapted to fit a variety of vehicles. When selecting a universal converter, it is important to choose one that is the correct size and has the correct inlet and outlet diameters. It is also important to make sure that the converter is CARB-certified, which means that it has met California Air Resources Board (CARB) emissions standards. #catalyticconverter #epa #reduceemissions #universalconverters

The Untapped Potential of Remanufacturing Governors: An Approach to Reducing Scope 3 Emissions - Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry is often directed towards large-scale solutions like alternative fuels or energy-efficient designs. However, sometimes, it's the smaller components that can make a significant difference. One such component is the mechanical governor, a complex device that regulates fuel injection to the engine. What is a Mechanical Governor? A mechanical governor serves the core function of regulating the fuel pumped into the engine. Comprising several hundred small mechanical parts, the governor is a complex but crucial component in large ships. Remanufacturing as a Circular Solution At PJ Diesel, we specialize in the circular maintenance of high-quality maritime components and have been an authorized service facility for remanufacturing governors for decades. But what does remanufacturing actually contribute to sustainability? The Science Behind the Savings As part of our commitment to transparency and traceability, we offer science-based calculations following ISO 14040/44 standards to document the saved emissions at the component level. When we ran the numbers on a governor, the results were surprising: we typically see climate savings of over 88% when choosing a certified remanufactured unit compared to buying a new one. Why Such High Percentage Savings? The key lies in our detailed testing process. Before remanufacturing, each governor undergoes rigorous tests to pinpoint wear and tear. This allows us to replace only the parts that are needed, reducing waste and energy consumption. Post-remanufacturing, the governor is subjected to the same tests to ensure it meets our high standards. As a result, we can offer a factory-grade warranty on the remanufactured governor. The Takeaway Remanufacturing governors is not just a cost-effective solution; it's a step towards circularity that can significantly reduce a shipowner's Scope 3 emissions. Focusing on large-scale and small-scale solutions can accelerate our journey towards a more sustainable maritime industry.

In 1975 the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 🌳 purchased a 𝗠𝗘𝗫𝗔 system for its Vehicle Emissions Test Laboratory. 𝘞𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 ⏩ to 2021 and the EPA once again entrusted HORIBA Automotive to supply emissions measurement systems for their heavy-duty engine test cells at their Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory (NVFEL) in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As mobility transitions into cleaner energy the need for vehicle emissions testing is still necessary to ensure a clean future for our world 🌎. #ThursdayThrowback #vehicleemissions #emissionstesting #EURO7 HORIBA HORIBA Europe HORIBA India HORIBA Automotive Korea

Where there's smoke, there's fine(s). 😉 🔥💰 At least in the case of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Sinister Diesel, a company that allegedly disabled emissions equipment using defeat devices on diesel-equipped vehicles. The EPA has levied a $1 million dollar fine against the maker of diesel engine modification equipment. Kudos to the EPA for putting the brakes on companies that make the "rolling coal" smoke burners technically possible. By stomping out the flames of these emissions control tamperers the smoke should clear soon. #rollingcoal #diesel #dieselengine #dieselpower #diesel #epa #emissions #emissionscontrol #cleanair #cleanairmatters #regulatorycompliance #regulatorystandards #smoke #automotive #automotiveaftermarket

Having a lower emission product is great, but customer awareness is key! Back when the Canadian wildfire smoke was blowing down to my home near Milwaukee, I posted about air quality and how #naturalgas engines (especially our VHP S4 and S5 stoich engines) produce very low PM2.5 emissions. You might imagine how I felt when I recently had a #gascompression customer tell me that they permitted a competitor engine for a project because it had lower PM2.5 levels and they were bumping against site limits. The issue is that many OEMs (including Waukesha Gas Engines) do not publish PM2.5 emissions as part of their performance runs, so customers typically use EPA AP-42 factors. As published, the EPA shows about half the PM2.5 emissions for lean burns vs. rich (stoich) burns, but they also give these factors an 'E' accuracy rating, the worst possible. However, in the case of our VHP product line, we do have data available in our emissions specification sheet (S-8483-06), which is available on our information portal (check comments) and shows that our numbers are 64x lower than what is published in AP-42 for 4SRBs and 33x lower than 4SLBs. These values are low enough to that PM2.5 emissions should not be an issue for the vast majority of our customers. My question for my environmental permitting folks: how often do you run into PM2.5-related issues? Is it to avoid 1 hr NO2 modeling? To avoid jumping into a more difficult permit? I'd love to hear from you...

With a focus on controlling emissions and maintaining after-treatment systems, our discussion covers the critical tail-end parts of the emission system: - Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs) - Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) - Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Systems.
