No need for the FUD.
It would just mean the backup generator connected to the sewage lift station must meet emissions regulations, like in every developed country on earth.
If you’re trying to say there are simply some generators that can’t meet emissions standards, I’m going to say you just aren’t trying.
- bryanlarsen 19d agoYes, that's what we're saying. A small generator cannot meet the emissions standards of a large generator.
- bob1029 19d agoSome of the most effective emissions control equipment scales down very poorly. The bigger you can make the plant, the more viable these technologies become. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_scrubber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_scrubber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_emissions_monitoring_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_emissions_monitorin... (et. al.)
- testing22321 19d agoYou’re just not trying. There’s no reason at all that “generator” can’t be batteries rated for x hours, or a small generator that IS emissions certified.

- bryanlarsen 19d agothat's a very different standard.
