Abstract:
A method of recovering selective catalytic reduction catalysts relates to metal-Zeolite based catalysts. A selective catalytic reduction catalyst service event where a metal-Zeolite based selective catalytic reduction catalyst of an exhaust aftertreatment system may perform below a threshold level of performance is determined. The selective catalytic reduction catalyst then exposed to a recovery fluid selected to facilitate movement of metal ions.
Abstract:
A method for treating a catalyst in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The method comprises detecting the efficiency of a catalyst; sending the catalyst efficiency to a threshold monitor; and heating the catalyst when the detected catalyst efficiency is below a predetermined percentage.
Abstract:
An example method includes determining that a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) component having a zeolite-based catalyst is contaminated with platinum (Pt). The method further includes elevating the temperature of the SCR component to at least 600° C in response to the determining the catalytic component is contaminated with Pt, and maintaining the elevated temperature of the catalytic component for a predetermined time period thereby restoring reduction activity of the catalyst.
Abstract:
The present application relates generally to selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust aftertreatment apparatuses, systems and methods. SCR exhaust aftertreatment is an important technology for reducing emissions of oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) from internal combustion engines. Providing effective NOx reduction during a variety of operating conditions including, for example, steady state conditions, transient conditions, low temperature conditions, high temperature conditions, low load conditions, high load conditions and other conditions remains a significant challenge. There is a substantial need for the unique apparatuses, systems and methods disclosed herein.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for determining an SCR component sulfur value, determining whether the SCR component sulfur value exceeds a sulfur regeneration threshold and increasing an engine NO amount incident to an SCR catalyst in response to the SCR component sulfur value exceeding the sulfur regeneration threshold.
Abstract:
System and methods for reducing secondary emissions in an exhaust stream from an internal combustion engine are disclosed. The systems and methods include a filtration device positioned downstream from an SCR catalyst of an aftertreatment system disposed in the exhaust system. The filtration device can also be used for particulate filter diagnostics and for treatment of ammonia slip.
Abstract:
A method includes providing a dosing command to adjust a dosing amount for an exhaust aftertreatment system; receiving selective catalytic reduction (SCR) inlet nitrous oxide (NOx) data and ammonia oxidation (AMOx) outlet NOx data; determining an ammonia-to-NOx ratio (ANR) value based on the SCR inlet NOx data and the dosing command; determining a NOx conversion fraction value based on the SCR inlet NOx data and the AMOx outlet NOx data; and determining a state of an in-use SCR and AMOx system of the exhaust aftertreatment system based on the ANR values and the NOx conversion fraction values for a plurality of dosing commands. Each dosing command corresponds with a distinct ANR value.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a method and system for pressurizing a reductant solution from a reductant storage device and superheating the pressurized reductant solution. The superheated pressurized reductant solution at least partially decomposes in the heat exchanger and/or a decomposition chamber before it is released into an exhaust system. The at least partially decomposed reductant solution is delivered to the exhaust system upstream of the SCR catalyst.
