Emergency Power Systems - Bringing Diesel Engines into Compliance with Local Air Quality Permit Requirements
Since the United States passed the Federal Clean Air Act in 1972, many rules and regulations governing all sources of pollutants have been implemented. As usual, California leads the way, with the Los Angeles area having the toughest requirements in the States. Large diesel engines at the Tier 2 or Tier 3 level have reduced emissions about as far as possible on their own, and now require the use of Exhaust Aftertreatment devices to comply with the more stringent AQMD requirements established in California’s metropolitan areas.
