An exhaust system for the treatment of an exhaust gas comprising a species to be treated, the system comprising: a first gas inlet for providing a flow of exhaust gas; a second gas inlet for providing a flow of heated gas; a plurality of sorbent beds for releasably storing the species; one or more catalysts for decomposing the species; first and second exhaust gas outlets; and a valve system configured to establish independently for each sorbent bed fluid communication in a first or second configuration, wherein: i) in the first configuration the flow of the exhaust gas from the first gas inlet contacts a sorbent bed for storing the species and then passes to the first gas outlet; and ii) in the second configuration the flow of heated gas from the second gas inlet contacts a sorbent bed for releasing the species, passes to one of the one or more catalysts and then passes to the second exhaust gas outlet; wherein the valve system is configured to ensure that at least one sorbent bed is in the first configuration and, preferably at least one other sorbent bed is in the second configuration.

Exhaust gas treatment system

An element frame for holding monoliths containing catalysts in the flow of exhaust gases from a combustion source, the element frame comprising two pairs of opposing walls, wherein the walls form a rectangular or square shape, an interior formed by the walls, an inlet end, an outlet end, at least one locking element, at least one mat and at least one monolith comprising an inlet, an outlet, four sides and at least one catalyst effective in reducing the concentration of one or more gases in the exhaust gas, wherein the at least one mat and the at least one monolith being positioned in the interior of the element frame so that there is at least one mat between the monolith and each adjacent wall, each locking element extending across the inlet end or outlet end of the element frame and being connected to two opposite sides of the element frame.

Frame elements for containing monoliths

A compact Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system comprising a system inlet, a gas flow system and a plurality of catalyst clusters is described. The system inlet is configured to utilize heat of the cleaned exhaust to vaporize a solution of a reductant, or a precursor of a reductant, and to mix the vaporized reductant with exhaust gas to form a mixed gas. The gas flow system is configured to provide the mixed gas from the system inlet to a plurality of catalyst clusters and to provide heat from the exhaust gas to assist in vaporization of the reductant/precursor and to assist in the conversion of the precursor to the reductant. The plurality of catalyst clusters comprise SCR and ASC catalysts but can also include filter functionality.

Compact cylindrical selective catalytic reduction system for nitrogen oxide reduction in the oxygen-rich exhaust of 500 to 4500 kW internal combustion engines

A compact Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system comprising a gas flow inlet system, a vaporizer module and an SCR reactor is described. The inlet flow system is configured to provide heat to the vaporizer module, to mix reductant with the exhaust gas and to provide an approximately uniform flow of the exhaust gas through the catalyst. The vaporizer module is configured to vaporize reductant from a solution of a reductant or a precursor of a reductant and to transfer the vaporized reductant into the gas flow inlet system, where it is mixed with exhaust gas. The SCR reactor contains and SCR catalyst is in fluid communication with the inlet flow system and the vaporizer module.

Compact selective catalytic reduction system for nitrogen oxide reduction in the oxygen-rich exhaust of 500 to 4500 kW internal combustion engines

A very compact Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system with a very low footprint comprising an SCR reactor, an inlet flow system, and a vaporizer module is described. The SCR reactor comprises at least one SCR catalyst which is in communication with the inlet flow system and the vaporizer module. The inlet flow system is configured to provide an approximately uniform flow of the exhaust gas through the catalyst and to provide heat to the vaporizer module. The vaporizer module is configured to allow for the conversion of urea to ammonia and to contact the ammonia with the exhaust gases in the SCR reactor upstream of the SCR catalyst.
