Diesel Generator (DG) sets provide essential power backup systems for commercial, industrial and residential places, hospitals, IT parks, as well as residential areas. Even though DG sets guarantee uninterrupted electricity, they can also produce dangerous pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide, along with nitrogen oxides. To tackle this problem, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)…
Diesel generators play an important role in industries, hospitals, data centres, and commercial spaces for providing backup power during outages. While they offer great utility, they are a significant source of air pollution due to PM, NOx, CO, and hydrocarbons emissions. The good news: ARAI-approved RECD or Retrofit Emission Control Device can drastically curb emissions…
The growing industrial centers across the globe are straining for more and more energy. Meanwhile, Diesel Generator (DG) sets are still the primary standby power systems used by various sectors such as manufacturing, construction, hospitals, and IT parks. The convenience of DG sets is offset by the emission of particulates, nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC),…
In the context of contemporary environmental sustainability, improving the performance and lessening the emissions produced by diesel generators is a necessity. One of the easiest and most effective ways to achieve this is through the use of Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD). As a business owner, facility manager, or stakeholder in an institution that heavily…
In modern society, especially in urban and industrial regions, diesel generator sets (DGs) continue to be a major source of emissions and pollution. To address this issue, the Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) has become a groundbreaking invention. Platino Automotive is one of the leaders in the RECD market in India, being well-known for its…
Diesel Generator (DG) sets serve as a secondary power source for backup throughout India’s industrial and commercial sectors. With air pollution becoming a major issue, and the government working towards a cleaner and sustainable future, controlling emissions has become a key focus. This is where Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD) come into play. In this…
Understanding India’s Air Quality Landscape India’s air quality has been a growing concern, with recent data highlighting significant pollution levels across various regions. As of April 15, 2025, the national Air Quality Index (AQI) is 94, categorized as ‘Moderate’. However, certain cities exhibit higher pollution levels, with New Delhi recording an AQI of 127, indicating…
In recent years, global air pollution has emerged as one of the most critical problems on the planet, impacting the quality of life for millions. As reported by [IQAir’s 2024 Global Air Quality Report], some cities in Asia and Africa are recording hazardous PM2.5 concentrations. Diesel generators are often used as backup power sources in…
Diesel generator (DG) sets are commonly utilized for power backup in commercial and industrial buildings as well as residential complexes. However, they are an essential source of pollutant emissions due to the large amounts of particles (PM) as well as NOx, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and other harmful emissions they emit. To reduce the environmental impact, implementing the Emission…
Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD) are now a game-changer for the reduction of the diesel generator (DG) emission levels. However, there are many misconceptions and myths surrounding RECD technology. Some believe it’s ineffective or expensive, while others doubt its long-term advantages. Understanding RECD RECD is the most advanced technology developed to limit the harmful emissions of diesel…
