Abstract
A system and method for removing NOx from an emission control device is provided. The emission control device is coupled adjacent and downstream of an oxidation catalyst. The method includes adding a reductant to the exhaust gases flowing into the oxidation catalyst. The method further includes partially oxidizing the reductant in the oxidation catalyst to transition a remaining portion of the reductant into a vapor phase. Finally, the method includes oxidizing the remaining portion of the reductant in the emission control device to remove NOx from the device.
