System
and Procedure for Compliance to Regulations for Petrol and Kerosene
Run Generator Sets Upto 19 KW
|
|
Foreword
The increasing
gap between the demand and the supply in power due to increasing urbanisation
and industrialisation, has resulted in proliferation of captive generator
sets, run with either diesel, petrol or kerosene, as an alternate
source of power. This is happening, particularly, in urban areas where
the need is greater. This indiscriminate proliferation has resulted
in associated pollution problems due to emission of gaseous pollutants
and noise from the generator sets. Looking at the seriousness of the
problem, CPCB started work on characterisation of emissions from petrol/kerosene
generator sets, in 1997, leading to notification of emission standards
for new generator sets (up to 19 kW) run on petrol and kerosene, vide
G.S.R. no.682 (E), dated sth October, 1999, under Environment (Protection)
Act, 1986. This notification necessitated the development of compliance
and testing procedure, also, for proper implementation of these standards.

The
document was prepared by an Expert Committee under the guidance of
Dr. H.B.Mathur, Emeritus Professor, Delhi College of Engineering and
Dr. B.P.Pundir, Professor, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur.
Efforts put in by Dr. Mathew Abraham from Indian Institute of Petroleum,
Dehradun and Shri Girish Marathe from Honda Siel Power Products Ltd,
is gratefully acknowledged.
The project for development of emission standards for petrol and kerosene
genset and the compliance procedure was co-ordinated by Shri G.K.Mendiratta
and Shri Lalit Kapur under the guidance of Dr. B. Sengupta, Member
Secretary.
This document will help the certification agencies, manufacturers
of petrol/kerosene generator sets and regulatory agencies in adopting
a uniform procedure for testing and compliance of emission regulation
for petrol/kerosene generator sets. |
