Removal of Soot and Exhaust Smoke with our Marine Diesel Particulate filtration system

Trust us to deliver superior marine exhaust solutions that remove soot and smoke from the yacht exhaust, enhancing your vessel's performance and longevity.


DPF & SCR filtration systems capture soot & particulate emissions from your yacht exhaust, keeping your paint and gelcoat clean & preventing the release of these damaging particulates into both the sea and air – protecting the marine environment and reducing pollution.


All diesel engines produce nanoparticles of soot as a product of combustion. A 99kW generator installed on a yacht before 2012 is allowed to produce over 700 grams (1.5 pounds) of particulates (soot) per day. Many of these nanoparticles will imbed themselves in the microscopic pores present in the highest quality hull finish, resulting in permanent staining and damage from attempts to clean soot stains around the generator exhaust. By effectively capturing and removing particulate matter, these systems play a crucial role in minimizing air pollution and protecting the marine environment. We provide bespoke exhaust fabrications to fit your specific needs, along with genuine branded products such as HUG and XEAMOS.


Custom DPF / SCR exhaust systems

We work with all the major DPF & SCR system manufacturers and can advise the best option to suit each individual project, from design to fabrication and installation.


The filter captures soot particles plus unburned fuel and lubricating oil where it is reduced to carbon dioxide and water vapor. Inorganic particulates originating in lubricating oil additives and produced through normal engine wear are retained in the filter and removed by periodic mechanical cleaning.

Investing in a marine diesel particulate filtration system is a smart choice for improving air quality, increasing fuel efficiency, and promoting sustainable maritime operations. Trust our expertise and experience to provide you with the best solution for your marine filtration needs.

The engine filter system protects your yacht finish by capturing soot, black smoke and damaging particulates before they are discharged from the exhaust before they can damage the paintwork – let us help you create a cleaner and safer marine environment.

Marinevac fabricates and installs DPF systems on all sizes of superyachts.

What our clients say

I wanted to write and thank you for the excellent service you provided us during our shipyard yard period in Barcelona. We have had a trouble free vacuum toilet system since you descaled the system a few months ago and have completed this season without incident. I appreciate how conscious you were about not interrupting normal operations and the care you took in protecting the interior spaces. Thank you again and see you at the next descaling.
