Eaton to produce non-urea aftertreatment system
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Eaton has signed an agreement to use Clean Diesel Technologies’ patented Advanced Reagent Injector System (ARIS) for injection of hydrocarbon fuel in emissions reduction applications, including Eaton’s Aftertreatment System.
This technology can also be applied to regeneration of diesel particulate filters and lean NOx traps in various global applications without the use of additional urea for NOx reduction.
It is an integrated system that meets international and EPA requirements (including 2010) without the on-vehicle storage, replenishment and infrastructure a urea-based system requires, the company says.
Both Eaton’s aftertreatment and fuel dosing systems have worldwide application for reducing NOx and particulate matter emissions from diesel engines. Eaton is targeting NOx and PM control technologies for production in 2011 and beyond in various applications.
These systems can be used for on-road, off-road and stationary applications, with a combined global market size of new medium-duty and higher engines exceeding 7 million per year.
Hydrocarbon injection is an important and growing technology for diesel particulate filter regeneration applications, as well as for NOx absorbers and NOx conversion catalysts.
