A Comprehensive Guide to Choosing the Right RECD for Your Diesel Generator

As environmental concerns and emission regulations grow more stringent, industries and individuals alike are seeking sustainable ways to reduce air pollution from diesel generators. One of the most effective solutions is the Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD) - a technological advancement that helps curb harmful emissions without replacing existing generator infrastructure.

If you're considering a RECD for your diesel genset, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know to make an informed decision, featuring insights into the Inventive Gas Equipment Vayu Pure RECD, a leading solution in the market.

What is a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD)?

A Retrofit Emission Control Device is an add-on apparatus designed to be installed onto existing diesel generator exhaust systems. Its main function is to significantly reduce particulate matter (PM), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.

Rather than replacing the entire generator, a RECD provides an affordable, regulatory-compliant way to upgrade diesel gensets and meet environmental norms such as CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) guidelines in India.

Why You Need a RECD for Your Diesel Generator

1. Regulatory Compliance: As per CPCB mandates, diesel generators must adhere to emission norms. Installing a certified RECD helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties.

2. Air Quality Improvement: RECDs drastically reduce the emission of harmful pollutants, promoting cleaner air and better public health.

3. Cost-Effective: Instead of purchasing a new low-emission generator, retrofitting your current genset is a more economical and resource-efficient solution.

4. Sustainability Goals: Many businesses today aim to reduce their carbon footprint. A RECD is a step toward corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental stewardship.

Whether you're running a backup power system in a commercial building or a large-scale industrial generator, Vayu Pure provides a tailor-made solution to meet your emission control needs.

How to Choose the Right RECD for Your Diesel Generator

Choosing the right Retrofit Emission Control Device depends on several critical factors. Let’s explore each:

1. Generator Capacity (kVA Rating)

Start by determining the kVA rating of your diesel generator. The RECD must match the capacity of the genset to function effectively. Vayu Pure RECDs are available for a wide range of generator capacities, from small to large-scale operations.

2. Fuel Type and Usage Pattern

Analyze the fuel type and operational hours. A generator running continuously in an industrial setup will require a more robust and durable RECD than one used for occasional power backup.

3. Emission Compliance Level

Different regions have different emission norms. Ensure that the RECD is compliant with CPCB II or other local emission regulations. Vayu Pure is CPCB-approved and meets the highest compliance standards.

4. Installation Environment

Consider the physical environment where the generator operates. Dusty, humid, or corrosive environments require a RECD built from high-grade, weather-resistant materials. Vayu Pure’s corrosion-proof casing ensures long-term durability in all conditions.

5. Maintenance Requirements

Look for a device with minimal maintenance needs. Vayu Pure features a self-cleaning mechanism in some models and easy-to-service filters to minimize downtime.

6. Certifications and Approvals

Always opt for a RECD that is government-approved. Vayu Pure is tested and certified under strict quality protocols, ensuring safety and reliability.
