  • Publication number: 20170234183
    Abstract: An aftertreatment system comprises a SCR system including a catalyst formulated to decompose constituents of an exhaust gas passing therethrough. A filter is positioned upstream of the SCR system. The filter comprises a sulfur suppressing compound formulated to reduce an amount of SOx gases included in the exhaust gas flowing through the aftertreatment system. In particular embodiments, the filter comprises a filter housing and a filter element positioned within the filter housing. The filter element comprises the sulfur suppressing compound.

  • Publication number: 20160333761
    Abstract: A timing-based method for regenerating a DOC included in an aftertreatment system fluidly coupled to a dual-fuel engine comprises performing at least one of the following: a temperature of the DOC is varied while flowing a mixed exhaust gas, which comprises a mixture of a diesel-only exhaust gas and a natural gas exhaust gas, generated by the dual-fuel engine through the DOC; alternately the method includes flowing (a) the mixed exhaust gas generated by the dual-fuel engine and (b) a diesel-only exhaust gas generated by the dual-fuel engine through the DOC.

  • Publication number: 20160312675
    Abstract: A process for recovering performance of a component of an aftertreatment system. The component includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is positioned upstream relative to an exhaust gas flow through the aftertreatment system, and the outlet is positioned downstream relative to the exhaust gas flow through the aftertreatment system. The process includes removing the component from the aftertreatment system. The process also includes regenerating the component, such as subjecting the component to an acid wash and/or heat treating the component. The process further includes reinstalling the component into the aftertreatment system with the inlet positioned downstream relative to the exhaust gas flow through the aftertreatment system and the outlet positioned upstream relative to the exhaust gas flow through the aftertreatment system.

  • Patent number: 8114364
    Abstract: A means for increasing the robustness of a SCR after-treatment system is provided. Specifically, a hydrolysis catalyst coating is applied to multiple surfaces within a decomposition reactor to aid in urea and urea based deposit decomposition and mitigation of urea based deposits. The reactor includes an injector mount attached to a middle tube portion, an inlet tube, an outlet tube and a mixer. A hydrolysis catalyst coating is applied to an inner surface of the injector mount, an inner surface of the middle tube portion, an inner surface of the outlet tube and an outer edge of the mixer. The hydrolysis catalyst coating is capable of decomposing urea and urea based deposits that comes in contact with the hydrolysis catalyst coating and mitigates the formation of urea based deposits.
