CATAGEN APPROACH
CATAGEN conducts all catalyst Ageing and Characterisation at full scale on engine aftertreatment systems using internationally patented technology; a Synthetic Gas Recirculating Reactor. The CATAGEN OMEGA & OMICRON Test Vehicles and the CATAGEN facility are approved by the Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) and Applus IDIADA for Accelerated Catalyst Ageing. We have also supported OEMs with type approval for the US (EPA & CARB), Indian and Chinese regulators.
The CATAGEN Toolset can track the ageing experience in real time using the proprietary CATAGEN Ageing Metric. This metric can be used to quantify the total ageing experience for comparisons, test design and degradation history for physical and virtual development of aged parts. We can match your desired catalyst bed temperatures, emissions and mass flows exactly. Where possible, eliminating fuel expenditure and CO2 emissions.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Emissions requirements for diesel GENSETs are becoming increasingly complex. Key challenges include:
- – Particle-number limits and the increased use of diesel particulate filters
- – NOx control and SCR durability
- – Alternative fuels and changing exhaust conditions
- – Catalyst performance throughout useful life
- – CO₂ reporting
- – Portable Emissions Measurement Systems (PEMS)
- – Limited engine and dynamometer capacity
CATAGEN provides tailored testing and ageing services to help manufacturers address these challenges.
LATEST EMISSIONS LEGISLATION
GENSET emissions requirements vary according to the market, engine power, fuel and whether the generator is mobile, stationary, standby or used for prime power. Relevant requirements can include US EPA, EU Stage V, India CPCB IV+, China Non-Road Stage IV and regional generating-plant permitting requirements.
CATAGEN provides tailored catalyst-ageing and testing services to support manufacturers developing aftertreatment systems for different markets and applications.
DAAAC can support durability development by producing representative aged aftertreatment components under controlled thermal and chemical conditions. Final certification requirements and acceptance of any testing methodology must be confirmed with the relevant regulatory authority.
