A new diesel particulate filter (DPF) using ceramic paper has been developed to clean flue gas from diesel power generation. It can drastically remove particulate matter (PM) discharged from stack even in start-up operation. Removal efficiency is more than 90%. Another feature is its low pressure drop, less than half of a conventional ceramic honeycomb DPF. Filter plugging, which is seen in a conventional DPF system, can be solved by combining this new DPF with catalyst technologies.
