(Virtual Showroom) Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning remains one of the leading causes of fatal air poisoning worldwide. This silent threat—colorless, odorless, and tasteless—can cause serious health issues. CO binds with hemoglobin in the blood, preventing it from carrying oxygen to tissues and organs. Exposure to even moderate levels of CO (around 667 ppm) can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, seizures, unconsciousness, and in extreme cases, death.

In industrial workplaces—especially those operating diesel-powered machinery such as forklifts, trucks, loaders, and marine engines - CO exposure is a critical safety concern. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) limits exposure to 50 ppm over an 8-hour work shift, but diesel engine emissions can far exceed this threshold if not properly managed.

Catalytic Converters (Diesel Oxidation Catalysts) as a Workplace Safety Solution

At HJS Emission Technology SA, we offer advanced Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs) designed to drastically effectively combat carbon monoxide emissions at the source. Our systems are engineered to operate efficiently across a wide range of exhaust temperatures, beginning at 120°C. At just 230°C, our DOCs can combat Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions by over 80%, and at 300°C, they remove more than 90% of both carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons.

Consider this: a typical diesel-powered forklift under heavy load may produce CO emissions close to 3,000 ppm. With a properly fitted HJS catalytic converter, this can be reduced to under 300 ppm—a reduction of over 90%. This significant drop improves air quality and protects your workforce from the effects of CO exposure, including fatigue, headaches, reduced concentration, and other symptoms that impair productivity and pose safety hazards.
