Abstract: An emissions cleaning module includes a first and second conduit. The first conduit contains a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) module and a diesel particulate filter (DPF) module; the second conduit contains a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) module. The emissions cleaning module is mounted to an external support by means of a mounting mechanism including at least one adjustable strap which is clamped around a conduit; and at least one saddle which is mounted to the conduit by the at least one adjustable strap. The saddle includes a curved upper surface configured to conform substantially to a portion of the conduit.

Abstract: A ready-to-use bleaching or bleach-fixing solution can be prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of succinic acid, maleic acid or malic acid, and an aminopolycarboxylic acid ligand, adding a ferric salt to form a ferric ligand chelate, and adding a chemical base, such as ammonia, to provide a final pH of from 2.5 to 5.5. optionally, a portion of the chemical base can be added before the addition of the ferric salt.
