Claims16
A portable power generation system comprising:
- a power source;
- an aftertreatment system having a preestablished configuration and being connected to said power source, said aftertreatment system adapted to treat an exhaust of said power source, said aftertreatment system having a particular filter dimensioned to be interchangeable with a muffler;
- a housing having said power source therein;
- said housing being a stationary unit adapted to a preestablished site;
- and
- said preestablished site defining said preestablished configuration of said aftertreatment system.
An aftertreatment system adapted for use with a power generation system comprising a particulate filter dimensioned to be interchangeable with a muffler.
A particulate filter adapted for use in a power generation aftertreatment system, said particulate filter dimensioned to be interchangeable with a muffler.
A method of converting a portable natural gas power generation aftertreatment system having a first preestablished aftertreatment configuration to a portable diesel power generation aftertreatment system having a second preestablished aftertreatment configuration for use at a preestablished site location, said preestablished site location determining said second preestablished aftertreatment configuration, said first preestablished aftertreatment system configuration having a muffler connected at a first location, comprising:
- disconnecting said muffler from said natural gas power generation aftertreatment system;
- and
- connecting a particulate filter to said natural gas power generation aftertreatment system at said first location.
