What Does Tier 4 Mean? New Standards Explained – Woodstock
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) routinely issues new standards regarding emissions. One relatively new standard is “Tier 4.” But what does Tier 4 mean? Basically, the EPA’s Tier 4 regulations is a set of requirements aimed at reducing harmful emissions. Tier 4 is the strictest set of standards to date in terms of emissions regulations, and generator owners must make sure their emissions level pass Tier 4 requirements in order to stay compliant. Luckily, there are key components of generators, such as the diesel oxidation catalyst, that is designed to reduce emissions, as well as options for updating and replacing generators that do not meet Tier 4 standards.
Simply Put: What Does Tier 4 Mean?
With Tier 4 standards, generators’ levels of emissions are monitored to keep output of harmful materials in check. Different sized generators have different allowable levels of emissions under the Tier 4 regulation, making it critical for generator owners to make sure their specific models are compliant. Those who fail to comply with the regulations may face fines which can be expensive and harmful to businesses. Tier 4 emissions reduction is aimed at 4 types of harmful output in particular:
- Carbon Monoxide
- Hydrocarbon
- Diesel Particulate Matter
- Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
For generator owners whose units fail to meet Tier 4 standards, there are options for correction. Replacement of the non-compliant generator in favor of one that passes the requirements is one option. Another, more affordable option would be to complete an upgrade on the unit in question.
