Abstract
The article outlines the study on emission control systems from various diesel engines. The study was carried out for the heavy equipment and power plants operations to meet the environmental regulations. The purpose of this paper is to examine various emission control systems, how it operate at low emission level and their malfunctions. As the world strive for global warming regulations, there is a need to consider various emission control systems operating at low emission level to minimize the problems of the environment hazards. Internal combustion engines are characterized for producing exhaust emissions, mainly used in industries, transportation, power production and machinery. CAT Caterpillar ET 2019C Diagnostic Electronic Tool was used on heavy equipment and Perkins EST 2018A v1.0 Diagnostic Tool used on the power generating plants to detect various faults on emission control systems. Most of the emission produce were from the defective emission control systems thus fuel injection pump, fuel injectors, induction and exhaust manifolds design, positive crankcase ventilating systems, turbocharger and catalytic convertors. The Study was conducted in Mali-Tombouctou Region within UN Mission area and to examine various types of heavy equipment and different capacity of power plants emission control systems, under Ghana Engineer Company serving and providing engineer support for the Mission. The study recommend that the replacement of component or system used for repair be genuine service part to maintain the quality for emission control systems. All emission control system parts must be scheduled for regular inspections. Any part that fails under operation need to be replaced or repaired to reduce emission. Owners and operators normally don’t comply with and report emission issues. The study adds to the existing knowledge of emission control in our environment to reduce associated environmental health issues and global warning.
