  • REGENERATION OF SULFUR SORBENTS
    Publication number: 20100154391
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a fuel filter, system, and method for reduction, manipulation and/or distribution of sulfur containing compounds in a fuel stream of an internal combustion engine. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method of removing sulfur containing compounds from a fuel stream of an internal combustion engine is provided. The method includes removing sulfur containing compounds from a fuel stream by passing fuel through a fuel filter capable of removing sulfur containing compounds. The method also includes storing the sulfur containing compounds in the fuel filter and releasing portions of the stored sulfur containing compounds into the fuel stream at predetermined intervals of a regeneration cycle of an emission control device.
