Abstract
Diesel particulate matter exhausted from marine diesel engine during the combustion process cause a various human health and environment impacts. Many methods were applied to control mass concentration of particulate matter from diesel exhaust gas.Many studies of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) were reported to collect 10w resistive particles generated from diesel engine. This research has been developed an after treatment system for removal of particulate matter (PM) emissions from a diesel engine. The system is composed of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) and a high-frequency dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor. A single stage type of ESP was used in this research. The objective is to investigate experimentally DBD reactor's performance on removal of diesel particulate. In the DBD reactor, the air is activated by discharge and produces ozone, oxygen radical and nitrogen radical, resulting the diesel particulates are oxidized under low temperature condition
