City of Houston Report in Adobe Acrobat Format, 54 pages




Through the City of Houston's Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP)1, http://www.ci.houston.tx.us/citygovt/mayor/cleanair.pdf, the City has been charged to investigate the potential of various emission control technologies and develop strategies to minimize the pollution contribution of its own fleet. This report describes the research that was undertaken to quantify the effects of various modified diesel fuels and retrofit emission control technologies on the exhaust emission rates of a variety of city vehicles operated over their representative duty cycle. An evaluation of the results is provided for both the original baseline vehicle configuration as well as with the modified diesel fuels and retrofit exhaust after-treatment. All of the testing was undertaken "in-the-field" using a portable emissions sampling system developed by Environment Canada that facilitates the collection of emissions data while the equipment is operated under real world conditions.
