The of this retrofit technology is closely related to the size of the equipment oxidation catalysts range from 2000 to 3000 installed, while diesel particulate filters DPFs. DOCs and DPFs are more commonly referred to as retrofit technologies or devices. portable emissions monitoring systems PEMS to record and measure realtime, tailpipe emissions levels. CAC will work with, and has budgeted for the purchase and installation of after treatment technology from the countrys leading retrofit manufacturers.
CAC will cover this and the associated costs of delivery, supply and fueling as part of the project implementation. Partners Executive Partners EPA, NYS Silverstein Properties, Mayors Office, City of New York, NRDC, and NESCCAF. Initiated by Clean Air Communities, the diesel emissions reduction DER project is unique, groundbreaking collaboration between city, state and federal officials, community leaders, construction contractors, and diesel technology experts to demonstrate that an offroad, diesel equipment based program can be implemented in an operationally efficient and effective manner in advance of diesel regulations.
The WTC Diesel Emission Reduction Project is the first publicprivate initiative in the New York construction market focused on reducing emissions from heavyduty diesel construction equipment.
ULSD fuel supplied by the participating fuel partner, Sprague Energy, contains to ppm sulfur, resulting in an overall reduction of over 99. CAC will provide the funds for costeffectively switching to this readily available alternative fuel. With Governor Patakis green building proclamation and EPAs ULSD fuel standards as guide, the partnership demonstrates the feasibility of clean equipment construction by operating participating heavy duty machinery on ULSD fuel and diesel catalytic mufflers. CAC intends to fund any retrofit control technology during the demonstration period.
On average, ULSD fuel costs 0. 05 0. 10 per gallon higher than offroad grade 2 fuel oil, so there is potential price differential associated with its use. Operators, upon interview, state that they are satisfied with the fuel switch to ULSD, fuel filters are cleaner, and engines are running well. Cost The total project value, including funding, inkind resources and technical assistance dedicated to the WTC clean construction initiative, is an estimated 500,000. Clean Air Communities clean construction project stems from direction by New York State and US Environmental Protection Agency to reduce diesel emissions impacting lower Manhattan.
