Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) Integration on Diesel Generator

The Way We executed the Project

Client: Leading Clean Tech & RECD Manufacturer 

Industry:Power & Energy (Clean Technology) 

Services: RECD Placement, Routing Optimization, Back Pressure Calculation, Manufacturing Drawings

Project Background

The client sought to replace the existing silencer on a diesel generator (DG) with a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) to reduce carbon emissions by 80%. 

Our Scope

Our team at SBDC Engineering Services was tasked with designing the RECD integration while ensuring minimal operational disruptions. We provided a full range of engineering services from conceptual design to the release of manufacturing drawings.

Key Tasks Included

RECD Positioning & Routing:We carefully analyzed and arranged the RECD placement, optimizing the pipe routing to achieve the required reduction in carbon emissions without exceeding the allowable back pressure for the diesel generator.

Back Pressure Calculations: Detailed back pressure analysis was conducted to ensure the RECD integration would not hinder generator performance.

Manufacturing Drawings:Released accurate, detailed manufacturing drawings to ensure proper fabrication and assembly of the RECD and its associated components.

General Arrangement (GA) Preparation: Developed GA drawings for client approval, focusing on the placement of the RECD and associated parts to ensure compatibility and performance.

What Value Added

We deployed a collaborative approach involving skilled engineers to streamline the RECD placement. Our team conducted detailed back pressure calculations to ensure compliance with generator specifications while optimizing for carbon emission reductions. Our expertise in routing and DOFF positioning minimized errors during installation and provided valuable design improvements.
