NW Ports Introduction to Retrofit Technology

Four critical steps for DPF success

  • 1. Pre-retrofit evaluation of equipment
  • 2. Ongoing training of operators and mechanics
  • 3. Regular equipment maintenance
  • 4. Support for troubleshooting, filter cleaning, &

maintenance

NW Ports Introduction to Retrofit Technology

Pre-retrofit evaluation of equipment

  • 1. Equipment survey
  • 2. Temperature profiling during typical operation
  • 3. Initial opacity testing
  • 4. Follow-up opacity testing after any engine repairs

NW Ports Introduction to Retrofit Technology

Ongoing training of operators and mechanics

  • 1. Pre-installation training

(low-ash oil, ULSD, no fuel additives, how it works)

  • 2. Post-installation training
  • 3. Refresher training

(checking monitor daily, cleaning intervals,

  • pacity testing)

Support for troubleshooting

  • 1. Respond to issues promptly! Avoid rumors!

A. Terminals need to notify contractors as soon as an issue is identified B. Funding agencies and contractors need to follow up

  • 2. Don’t point fingers. Fix the problem.

Support for filter cleaning & maintenance

  • 1. Make sure the right procedures are in place

A. Cleaning contractor should:

1) Provide pre-cleaning inspections 2) Know who to notify if there is a problem

B. Contractors and manufacturers need be able to respond promptly to cracked cores and other issues

  • 2. Encourage good maintenance

A. Funding agencies should perform audits B. Contractors should encourage and support periodic training
