The present invention relates to a compressed natural gas combustion and exhaust system comprising: (i) a natural gas combustion engine and (ii) an exhaust treatment system comprising an intake for receiving an exhaust gas from the combustion engine and a catalyst article arranged to receive and treat the exhaust gas, wherein the catalyst article comprises: a substrate having at least first and second coatings, the first coating comprising a palladium-containing alumina and/or a base-metal containing alumina and the second coating comprising a palladium-containing zeolite, wherein the first coating is arranged to contact the exhaust gas before the second coating; and, wherein the system is configured to selectively operate in: (a) a lean first mode in which sulphur is trapped on the first coating; and (b) a rich second mode whereby sulphur is released from the first coating. The present invention further relates to a method.

Compressed natural gas combustion and exhaust system

An oxidation catalyst for treating an exhaust gas produced by a stoichiometric natural gas (NG) engine comprising a substrate and a catalytic material for oxidising hydrocarbon (HC), wherein the catalytic material for oxidising hydrocarbon (HC) comprises a molecular sieve and a platinum group metal (PGM) supported on the molecular sieve, wherein the molecular sieve has a framework comprising silicon, oxygen and optionally germanium.

Oxidation catalyst for a stoichiometric natural gas engine

A method for oxidizing carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOCS) comprises contacting a gas containing water vapor and said CO and VOCs with a catalyst composition comprising at least one base metal promoter and at least one base metal catalyst supported on an oxide support material comprising one or more of alumina, silica, zirconia, ceria, and titania, wherein the VOCs comprise one or more of methyl acetate, methane, methyl bromide, benzene, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, butane, and butene.

Base metal catalysts for the oxidation of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds

A catalytic material for treating an exhaust gas produced by a natural gas engine, which catalytic material comprises a molecular sieve and a platinum group metal (PGM) supported on the molecular sieve, wherein the molecular sieve has a framework comprising silicon, oxygen and optionally germanium, and has a content of heteroatom T-atoms is &#x2264;about 0.20 mol %.

Oxidation catalyst for treating a natural gas emission

A system for reducing ammonia (NH) emissions includes (a) a first component comprising a first substrate containing a three-way catalyst, wherein the first component is disposed upstream of a second component comprising a second substrate containing an ammonia oxidation catalyst, wherein said ammonia oxidation catalyst comprises a small pore molecular sieve supporting at least one transition metal; and (b) an oxygen-containing gas input disposed between the components. For example, a CHA Framework Type small pore molecular sieve may be used. A method for reducing NHemission includes introducing an oxygen-containing gas into a gas stream to produce an oxygenated gas stream; and exposing the oxygenated gas stream to an NHoxidation catalyst to selectively oxidize at least a portion of the NHto N. The method may further include the step of exposing a rich burn exhaust gas to a three-way catalyst to produce the gas stream comprising NH.

Catalysts for the reduction of ammonia emission from rich-burn exhaust

Provided is a system for reducing ammonia (NH) emissions comprising a substrate and an ammonia oxidation catalyst disposed thereon, wherein the ammonia oxidation catalyst comprises a small pore molecular sieve supporting a transition metal selected from Cu, Fe, Ce, Mn, Ni, Zn, Ga, Mo, and Cr, provided that the ammonia oxidation catalyst is effective at oxidizing ammonia in an exhaust gas stream; and provided that the ammonia oxidation catalyst composition and the substrate are free of Platinum Group Metals.
