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 CPCB-certified RECD, which ensures 99.9% emission reduction from DG sets.

What is an RECD?

RECD stands for retrofit emission control devices. These appliances perform advanced filtration to collect and capture particulate matter as well as other harmful substances that are emitted from diesel engines. In the case of diesel generator sets (DG), the emitted carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and Particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) must be controlled.

Why DG Sets Need RECD

All types of businesses and even hospitals have been using diesel generators as backup power sources for a long time. These appliances greatly contribute to air-quality deterioration both locally and as part of global pollution initiatives. According to reports, the use of DG sets in delhi, Chennai and Mumbai has been on the rise and is a major cause of concern.

To address this, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has mandated the use of RECDs in DG sets as part of India’s emission reduction goals and public health initiatives. Compliance is no longer optional—it’s a necessity.  

Platino Automotive: Setting New Benchmarks in Emission Control

Platino is a pioneering name in emission control technology, offering CPCB-approved RECD for diesel generator sets across India. With cutting-edge R&D and world-class engineering, Platino has become synonymous with high-performance and environmentally responsible solutions.

Here’s why Platino RECD is the best RECD in India:

1. Up to 99.9% Emission Reduction

Platino’s RECD has been tested and certified to reduce harmful emissions—especially particulate matter—by up to 99.9%, ensuring that your DG set complies with the strictest environmental norms.

2. CPCB Approved

All RECDs manufactured by Platino are CPCB-approved, which means they meet government-mandated performance and safety standards. This approval is crucial for both regulatory compliance and environmental credibility.

3. Universal Compatibility

Platino RECDs can be retrofitted on a wide range of DG sets, from 15 kVA to 1000 kVA, making it a versatile choice for different industries, residential complexes, and institutions.

4. Durable & Low Maintenance

Platino RECDs are built using high-grade filters and materials that resist corrosion, ensuring that the RECDs have a long service life. Their maintenance-free features make them effortless to maintain.  

5. Backed by Industry Experts

Platino Automotive has over three years of experience in emission control and employs leading engineers, environmental consultants, and support staff to ensure great customer satisfaction from the first contact to the yearly maintenance.  

How Platino RECD Works  

Platino’s RECD works with diesel generator sets and utilizes advanced filtration and catalytic conversion methods. Here’s their function:  

  1. Particulate Capture: This device captures solid soot particles using ceramic or metallic filters.  
  2. Catalytic Oxidation: Converts harmful gases (CO and HC) to benign gases (CO2 and H2O).  
  3. Thermal Regeneration: The system performs controlled burning to remove the accumulated soot, allowing for self-cleaning and uninterrupted performance.  

This process provides intelligent mechanisms that guarantee maximum emission reduction while maintaining generator power output.  

Advantages of Using Platino RECD  

✔ Environmental Compliance

With Platino RECD, your DG sets are compliant with CPCB’s 2023/2025 guidelines, eliminating the risk of fines and unnecessary regulatory burdens for your facility.  

✔ Improved Air Quality

The installation of RECDs diminishes airborne pollutants, contributing to a healthier setting for employees, residents, and the broader community.

✔ Brand Reputation

Having eco-friendly practices sets your company apart, as it increases your brand reputation. The use of a CPCB-approved RECD from Platino shows that you care for the environment and are socially responsible.

✔ Long-Term Cost Savings

Decreased emissions can result in an increase in engine life, a decrease in breakdowns, and a reduced need for frequent servicing of the DG set. These factors all contribute to long-term cost savings.

Industries Using Platino RECD

Platinos RECDs are being utilized across diverse sectors.  

  1. Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
  2. Manufacturing Units
  3. IT Parks & Corporate Offices
  4. Residential Apartments & Gated Communities
  5. Educational Institutions
  6. Hotels & Hospitality Chains
  7. Government & Public Infrastructure

Whether you run a college with a 125 kVA DG set or a hospital with a 500 kVA unit, Platino offers fitting RECD models tailored to your requirements.

Government Push and Legal Mandates  

Without RECDs, many states and UTs consider the use of DG sets a violation of CPCB norms, particularly in areas of high pollution sensitivity. There are also NGT orders for strict enforcement.

This makes the use of a Platino CPBC-approved RECD not only a wise choice but a compliant one as well. As long as the unit is installed in a timely fashion, your facility will remain operational and compliant.
