 Diesel Emissions Controls
Today, viable emission control technologies exist to reduce
exhaust emissions
from existing diesel vehicles.

Retrofit technologies designed to control particulate matter (PM)

include:
• Diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs)
• Diesel particulate filters (DPFs)
• Flow through filters (FTFs)
• Closed crankcase ventilation (CCV)
Retrofit technologies designed to control oxides of nitrogen (NOx) include:
• Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
• Selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
• Lean NOx catalysts (LNCs or HC-SCR)
• Lean NOx traps (LNTs)
Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
 Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
• Like catalytic converters already used on all gasoline vehicles, diesel
oxidation catalysts (DOCs) cause chemical reactions to reduce
emissions without any moving parts.
• The catalysts reduce particle emissions by as much as 50%, can
reduce visible smoke, and eliminate the odor of diesel exhaust.
• The catalysts can reduce the invisible ozone forming hydro-carbon
gases by more than 70% and CO by up to 90%
• DOCs are used in new vehicles and can be installed on retrofitted
vehicles already in use.
• Can be used with D2, biodiesel, emulsified diesel, ethanol/diesel
blends and other alternative diesel fuels
• Usually not a Level 3 device
