Particulates & Other Compounds
In general, the use of clean gaseous fuel in a CHP package will not give rise to emissions of particles or other compounds. However, if the unit is not correctly controlled, soot or smoke may be produced in the exhaust, and excessive engine wear can result in some lubricating oil passing into the exhaust. Furthermore, the exhaust from gas engines tends to contain small quantities of the gaseous fuel – generally referred to as unburned hydrocarbon (UHC). Using waste gases as fuel can also result in other compounds being present in the exhaust, the nature of these compounds varying with the composition of the gas.
