Miratech’s V-CAT
DOC Makes List
National Clean Diesel Campaign’s Emerging Technology
List is first step toward EPA verification and funding eligibility
Miratech’s V-CAT diesel oxidation
catalyst (DOC) has been placed by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) on the National Clean Diesel
Campaign’s Emerging Technology List
for marine Electro-Motive Diesel
(EMD) engine emission reduction applications. The listing is the first step
toward EPA verification of the emissions reduction system and makes the
V-CAT eligible for inclusion in requests
for funding through the EPA Clean
Diesel Program.
The V-CAT integrates a special high-
strength DOC into the exhaust mani-
fold of EMD engines. According to
Jonathan Roberts, Miratech sales man-
ager for locomotive and marine mar-
kets, this system addresses several chal-
lenges that have hampered previous
emission control efforts such as limited
space, low exhaust gas temperatures
and the need to keep exhaust backpres-
sures low.
