Cummins engine regeneration process
This is due in part to a depleting supply of sweet light crude oil and replacing it with Canadian tar sand crudes and shale oil crudes. In fact, the quality of some starting crude oil today in the worst it’s ever been.
has the highest diesel engine emission standards in the world, but fuel quality issues prevent universal compliances with these standards. Diesel fuel is a middle distillate of crude oil and consists of a variety of over 150 different components making the polluting potential of every batch of fuel different. It’s important to remember crude oil is primarily a mixture of decaying plant and animal life millions of years old. One of the biggest concerns is what effects (if any) do fuel additives have on the operation enhancement of these two systems.Īll FPPF fuel additives assist in the proper and efficient operation of both SCR and DPF pollution abatement systems. The SCR technology enables trucks to meet the new “Tier 4” emission standards that make vehicle exhaust almost as clean (or cleaner) than the air entering the vehicle. This system uses DEF (diesel exhaust fluid)-a urea/water-based fluid that removes nitrogen oxides from exhaust gases before exiting the vehicle.
Some fuel additives claim to improve the efficiency of both the DPF and the SCR systems on new trucks. There are increasing concerns regarding the operation of diesel engines with SCR and DPF systems when used with quality fuel additives. All FPPF products are formulated to function effectively and actually enhance the operation of all the latest diesel engine technologies, including common rail, ERG, DPF and SCR.
FPPF remains at the forefront of fuel additive technology.
