IntroductionIntroduction
Diesel Engines Are a Major Source of NOx, PM, and Toxic Emissions
Even with the Prospect of Tighter Emission Standards in the Future, Existing, High-Emitting Diesel Engines Will Be in Use for the Next 10 to 20 Years
Retrofitting Existing Diesel Engines with Exhaust Control Technologies or Converting Diesel Engines to Natural Gas Are Available Strategies to Reduce Emissions and Expedite Clean-Vehicle Deployment
A Successful Retrofit Program Must Be Properly Designed and Implemented

Elements of a Proper Retrofit Control ProgramElements of a Proper Retrofit Control Program
The Condition of the Engine Is an Important Factor in Making a Decision Whether to Retrofit Control Technology
For Filter Retrofit, Vehicle Application, Exhaust Temperature (Duty Cycle), and Fuel Sulfur Level Must Be Properly Matched

Retrofit Technology Check List
– Size
• Properly Sized Control Technologies Ensure Low Back Pressure and Maximum Performance
– Vehicle Integration
• An Important Aspect of Control Technology Retrofit, but Has Been Successfully Accomplished on Both On- and Off-Road Vehicles (muffler replacement or in-line installation)

Retrofit Technology Check List (cont.)
– Fuel Quality
• For PM Control, <15 ppm Allows for Maximum Emission Control Performance and Best Filter Regeneration Characteristics
• Oxidation Catalysts Can Be Formulated to Minimize Sulfation, but at the Expense of Some Reduced Emission Control Performance
• Some Technologies Can Be Applied to Certain Applications Using Fuels with Higher Sulfur Levels
– Maintenance
• Vehicles to Be Retrofitted Should Be Properly and Regularly Maintained
• Retrofit Technology Should Be Maintained per Manufacturer’s Recommended Procedures

A Variety of Demonstrated Retrofit Technologies Are Available to Significantly Reduce PM, NOx, HC, CO, Toxic, Smoke, and Odor Emissions from Existing HDDEs
A Growing Number of Retrofit Programs Are Being Successfully Implemented
A Properly Designed and Implemented Program Can Achieve Important Diesel Exhaust Emission Reductions and Expedite the Use Of Clean-Diesel Engines
Active Participation by All Interested Parties Will Be A Key Element in a Successful Program
