What is Exhaust Filter Regeneration?
Exhaust filter regeneration is the process of burning accumulated soot from diesel particulate filters (DPFs) to maintain emission control efficiency, as outlined in EPA guidelines. At Catman, we supply EU-approved DPFs with advanced regeneration capabilities, backed by a 24-month warranty.
3 Types of DPF Regeneration
- Passive Regeneration: Occurs automatically during highway driving (70+ mph)

- Forced Regeneration: Manual process requiring diagnostic tools, as detailed in emission control analyses
