Diesel Particulate or Soot Filters are a highly efficient solution for controlling soot particle emissions to allow compliance with the London Low Emission Zone.

Diesel Particulate Filters typically reduce the number of ultrafine soot particles emitted from the tailpipe by between 99.0% and 99.9% - bringing exhaust gases up to very high air quality levels, allowing penalty/tariff free entry into the London Low Emission Zone. However, these filters will only remain efficient if the trapped soot can be disposed of during normal engine operation. If this does not occur regularly the filter will clog. This increases the backpressure from the exhaust and will ultimately prevent the engine running. Although there are a number of methods for regenerating a particulate filter, one of the most widely utilised and most cost-effective is to use a fuel borne catalyst. A fuel borne catalyst works by reducing the ignition temperature of the trapped soot, typically by more than 200°C . Typical vehicle temperature profiles can thus have comparatively short intervals circa 400°C for successful operation.

Pirelli CAM FBC™ fuel borne catalyst ensures complete and rapid filter regeneration by pre-catalysing the soot formed during combustion, with tiny particles of iron oxide. This ensures that any soot trapped in the filter will burn off at the lower temperatures typically encountered during normal engine operation. The filter is therefore regenerated during everyday driving without having to worry about filter clogging or damage. The cost and inconvenience associated with frequent filter removal and specialist cleaning can therefore be kept to a minimum.

Optimum dosing ratio for Pirelli CAM FBC™ is typically 1.5 ltr per 1000 ltr of diesel. This dosing ratio is usually configured into the Pirelli ECU parameters on initial installation and is not user adjustable.

Pirelli DPF systems are installed to consume Pirelli CAM FBC™ additive from new. However SATACEN 3™ (please see other items) has been formally tested and approved by the manufacturer, Pirelli Eco Technology, for demanding or cold climate applications. Prior to using SATACEN 3™ to substitute Pirelli CAM FBC™ however it is IMPORTANT to call us. Dosing ratios of the 2 products are very different. SATACEN 3™ may SAVE you money. Use 1 Litre of SATACEN 3™ equivalent 3 litres Pirelli CAM FBC™. Product dilution or Pirelli ECU parameter change MUST be performed prior to use in Pirelli Feelpure systems.

PIRELLI CAMFBC (ABRIDGED EXTRACT- PIRELLI SERVICE INFORMATION)

‘If a vehicle equipped with the system Pirelli Feelpure™ or Pirelli Feelpure™ AR and has to function for a long time in an environment with temperature below -15°C, Pirelli Eco Technology recommends the use of SATACEN 3™ additive, instead of CAM FBC™. SATACEN 3™......can be employed up to -39°C Optimum dosing ratio for SATACEN 3 is 0,5 liter to 1000 liters of fuel: it is different from the one of Pirelli CAM FBC (1,5 liters to 1000 liters of diesel)’

Please enquire for larger quantity or bulk purchase pricing. We at ButlerTechnik are specialists in the supply, maintenance, service and repair of commercial vehicle Diesel Particulate filters. If you are unsure of your requirements please call prior to purchase. Satacen 3 FBC fuel additive as listed is recommended for many Fuel Borne Catalyst systems to allow for correct function. If you have experienced poor performance from your London LEZ purchase please call for our free consultation.
