Engelhard’s DPX™ Catalyzed Soot Filter (CSF) Technologies Can Be Supported on a Myriad of Supports z
Engelhard’s soot filter catalysts can be applied to virtually any type of soot filter media: cordierite, silicon carbide (traditional & Octa Design), composite, sintered metal, open cell metallic foams.

Regeneration Methods will Determine the System Design z
Passive regeneration Î Aggregate soot burning rate > aggregate soot accumulation rate Î Dependent on engine-out soot rate, duty cycle and exhaust temperature » Catalytic Soot Burn Rate is dependent on temperature and oxidants present » Passive regeneration increases time interval required between active regeneration events.
z
Active regeneration Î Required to insure soot burning over light load, low temperature conditions, (i.e. net soot accumulation conditions). Î Fuel induced Exotherm to provide heat for soot combustion.
