Abstract: A system is provided for monitoring exhaust gas concentrations in an exhaust stream from an engine. The system may include the exhaust system configured to carry an exhaust stream generated by the engine. The system may further include at least one sensor in communication with the exhaust stream and configured to generate an output indicative of a concentration of NOx and a concentration of at least one sulfur-containing compound in the exhaust stream. The system may further include a controller configured to selectively produce one of a rich condition and a lean condition in the exhaust stream and to determine, during the rich condition, the concentration of the at least one sulfur-containing compound in the exhaust stream based on the output from the at least one sensor and to determine, during the lean condition, the concentration of NOx in the exhaust stream based on the output from the at least one sensor.

Abstract: According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of detecting matter within a filtering device includes measuring a metric indicative of a first quantity of matter within the filtering device and removing a portion of the matter from the filtering device. The method also includes measuring a metric indicative of a second quantity of matter remaining within the filtering device.

Abstract: A system and method for treating exhaust gas are provided. The system has a source of combustion exhaust, a first fluid passageway and a second fluid passageway. The first fluid passageway directs combustion exhaust from the source into the atmosphere. The second fluid passageway directs combustion exhaust from the source back into the source. The system also has at least one sulfur-oxide-removing device. The sulfur-oxide-removing device is disposed within at least one of the first or second fluid passageways.
