The Emigreen® DPF is a diesel particulate filter that reduces soot emissions from marine diesel engines. It is designed for easy maintenance by the ship’s crew, ensuring that the ship’s schedule is not interrupted. The system anticipates filter saturation before it occurs and warns the crew to prevent engine problems. The Emigreen® DPF is unique in its ability to regenerate the filter not only when the engine is running at full capacity but also at any engine load, even when the vessel is static or moving slowly. The system uses a modern monolithic ceramic filter to trap carbon particles, and its back pressure on the engine is monitored by the DPF system controller. When the back pressure limit is reached, the system initiates the burn-off process to regenerate the filter. The Emigreen® DPF can be retrofitted with a fuel burner and is compliant with international fuel standards.

Emigreen®’s DPF system is designed for easy maintenance by the ship’s own crew members, making it more efficient and convenient. The system can be serviced anywhere, even at sea, and the procedure is straightforward, allowing the crew to maintain the system as part of their daily routine. The regeneration cycles are monitored by the control and monitoring system, and when the efficiency of the system falls below a certain level, the crew can arrange to clean the ash from the filter elements. The cleaning procedure is easy and can be performed by one or two crew members, taking about two hours for a 250 kW to 500 kW engine. The system needs to be cleaned after every 2000 to 4000 hours of operation, depending on engine use. The convenience of Emigreen®’s DPF system provides added luxury for premium clients, and it can be installed in both new yachts and as retrofit.
