Diesel Particulate Filter & EGR Cleaning
We Can Save You Time & Money
We have been evaluating and cleaning diesel particulate filters and the oxidation catalyst, DOC, for 10+ years. We recently partnered with Clean Diesel Specialist, CDS. We offer 2 proven methods for cleaning the filter and catalyst. The first is a traditional high bake and forced air, and now with CDS equipment we can water clean which is endorsed by Cummins and Detroit Diesel. This is NOT an automated system. After the process, we obtain flow rates up to 98% of new filters as reported by our customers. Please check them out from our resource page.
What options are available when a filter or catalyst is deemed no good? We have several suppliers that offers new units, gaskets, clamps, sensors, and bungs.
Our process takes roughly 24 hours. We evaluate and test the flow before putting the units in the oven to bake overnight. In the morning, we clean out the ash and re-test the flow.
Damaged bungs and fittings can be replaced. Most times, we can offer same day service on fitting and bung repairs, as we have a variety of parts in stock.
Plugged EGR coolers adversely affect the performance of your vehicle. We clean them to restore the flow using a variety of techniques. Our cleaning and testing process takes an average of 3 days to complete.

Good vs. Bad DPF
Filters that are missing chunks of the core can not perform to optimal efficiency.
Light Spark
If you can see light through the particulate filter, the core has started to deteriorate inside. Here at Empire, we also perform a pin test to determine if any of the cells are too blocked to come clean. This will also reduce the efficiency of the system.
All Black Side
This picture is showing a very packed filter. If both sides of the filter are completely blocked with soot, the filter will need to be replaced. We have great affiliations to obtain new units for you.
