  • Publication number: 20120102929
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power system that may be housed inside a single ISO shipping container having standard outside dimensions. The system may include a power source and an internally integrated aftertreatment module that is removable as a unit and that comprises, for example, Particle Filters (PF), and/or Oxidation Catalysts (OC), and/or Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. The power system may include other removable modules such as a power module comprising a generator, pump, chipper, chiller, or other power equipment, a container module for fuel, and a container module for reductant, both of which may be non-rectangular in cross-section. A system is also disclosed for providing on-site power in the absence of shore power.

  • Patent number: 7377102
    Abstract: A device and method for heating exhaust gas from the combustion of fossil fuel upstream of an emissions control device, especially a diesel particulate filter. A conduit receives an exhaust gas flow, and is in fluid communication with the emissions control device for supplying exhaust gas thereto. A flow straightener is disposed in the conduit, and a portion of the exhaust gas flows through the flow straightener. An igniter is disposed in the conduit between the flow straightener and the emissions control device for igniting fuel supplied thereto to produce a flame to heat the exhaust gas flow.
