FAQ - Platino’s Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD)

1. What is a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD)?

A Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) is an aftermarket system designed to reduce harmful emissions from existing Diesel Generator (DG) sets which all are Below 800 KW (1000kVA). It is essential for ensuring that generators comply with government-mandated emission standards.

2. What is RATS?

A Retrofit After-treatment System (RATS) is an aftermarket system designed to reduce harmful emissions from existing Diesel Generator (DG) sets above 800 kW (1000 kVA). It is essential for ensuring that generators comply with government-mandated emission standards.

3. How does Platino’s RECD/RATS reduce emissions?

Platino’s RECD uses advanced filtration technology to reduce particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO). It’s equipped with an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system for real-time monitoring.

4. Why do I need an RECD for my DG set?

Government regulations require diesel generators to meet strict emissions standards, such as a 70% reduction in PM emissions, as mandated by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Using an RECD helps meet these standards and avoids fines or restrictions.

5. What makes Platino’s RECD different from other emission control devices?

Platino’s RECD stands out due to its Zero Back Pressure Design, ensuring the generator operates efficiently without losing power. It’s also certified by ARAI and ICAT, ensuring it meets the latest CPCB norms for emission reduction.

6. Can the RECD be installed on all types of diesel generators?

Yes, Platino’s RECD is compatible with a wide range of diesel generators from 15kVA to 2500kVA. It can be installed easily with flexible positioning options (horizontal, vertical, or slanting), and does not require any additional land space or foundation.

7. Does Platino’s RECD require regular maintenance?

Platino’s RECD is designed for long-term use with minimal maintenance. It has a 20-year/20,000-hour lifespan, making it a cost-effective solution for emission control over time.

8. What certifications does Platino’s RECD hold?

Platino’s RECD is type approved by the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and the International Centre for Automotive Technology (ICAT), ensuring it meets the latest emission standards set by the CPCB.

9. What is the installation process for Platino’s RECD?

Installation is quick and easy, with no need for additional land space or concrete foundations. The device can be installed in any position (horizontal, vertical, or slanting), and Energica Solutions provides expert assistance for a seamless installation process.

10. How does the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system work?

The OBD system continuously monitors the back pressure and temperture of the RECD in real-time, ensuring the system operates efficiently and complies with emission standards. It alerts operators to any issues or malfunctions.

11. What are the consequences of not complying with CPCB norms?

Failure to comply with CPCB norms can result in heavy fines, operational restrictions, and damage to your company’s reputation. By using Platino’s RECD, you can avoid these penalties while contributing to environmental protection.

12. Does Platino’s RECD affect generator performance?

No, Platino’s RECD is designed with a Zero Back Pressure Design, which ensures that your diesel generator operates at full power and efficiency without any performance loss.

13. How does Platino’s RECD contribute to environmental sustainability?

By significantly reducing harmful emissions such as particulate matter, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide, Platino’s RECD helps reduce air pollution and the impact of diesel generators on the environment, contributing to a cleaner and healthier atmosphere.

14. Is there any government support or mandate for using RECDs?

Yes, the government mandates that all diesel generators must comply with emission standards, which include a 70% reduction in particulate matter emissions. Compliance with these regulations is essential to avoid penalties and operational shutdowns.

15. How do I get started with installing Platino’s RECD?

You can contact Energica Solutions, the Pan India Distributor for Platino’s RECD, to get started with installation, compliance, and after-sales support. They will guide you through the process, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.
