Latest Patents
Lasitha holds a patent for a "System and method for regenerating an engine exhaust after-treatment device." This invention introduces a syngas stream into the engine exhaust stream, which combusts in the presence of a catalyst. This process raises the temperature of the after-treatment device, allowing for effective regeneration. A supplemental liquid fuel stream is then vaporized by the syngas stream to form a combined fuel stream. The combustion of this combined fuel stream with the engine exhaust further heats the device, bringing it to a temperature suitable for regeneration. The catalyst can be positioned either upstream or within the device being regenerated.
