Transient Performance of a Non-Catalytic Syngas Generator for Active DPF Regeneration and NOx Reduction

Alternatives to UREA Selective Catalytic Reduction are being investigated by most engine manufacturers. A non-catalytic syngas generator allows production of hydrogen and carbon monoxide without the need to modify engine operating conditions. Durability of the syngas generator is enhanced due to the fact that it does not contain any catalyst. The syngas can be used for both active regeneration of Diesel Particulate Filters and Lean NOx Traps.
