Problem
Internal combustion engines, particularly diesel variants, generate significant particulate matter (PM) in their exhaust. This PM can lead to contamination of critical engine components, causing increased downtime and reduced operational productivity for heavy-duty vehicles and power generation equipment.
Solution
Paradigm develops advanced plasma systems designed to mitigate particulate matter emissions from internal combustion engines. These systems are available as both retrofit solutions for existing fleets and integrated OEM components for new engine designs. By effectively removing a substantial portion of PM from exhaust streams, Paradigm's technology enhances engine longevity, reduces maintenance requirements, and improves overall operational uptime and productivity for users. The technology is applicable across various sectors including transit buses, commercial trucks, and power generators.
Target Audience
Primary customers include operators of diesel-powered fleets such as public transit agencies, trucking companies, and operators of power generation equipment. Additionally, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking to integrate advanced emission control solutions into their engine designs are targeted.
