Abstract
Because the regulations governing diesel engine emissions are becoming more stringent, effective aftertreatment is needed for particulate matter. Although diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are a leading technology used in automobiles, there remains a problem with DPF regeneration for marine diesel engines that use heavy oil fuel. In the present study, pilot-scale experiments were conducted to develop a particulate oxidation technology for marine diesel engine emissions using DPF regeneration by nonthermal-plasma-induced ozone injection. It has been shown that particulate oxidation depends on the exhaust gas temperature, and regeneration can be performed most effectively at a temperature of approximately 300 °C.
