Abstract
According to one representative embodiment, an apparatus for controlling reductant dosing in an SCR catalyst system having a reductant injection system configured to inject reductant into an exhaust gas stream includes a controller, an actual reductant dosing rate module, and a reductant doser compensation module. The controller is configured to determine a reductant dosing rate command representing a desired reductant dosing rate. The actual reductant dosing rate module is configured to determine a predicted actual reductant dosing rate based at least partially on the reductant dosing rate command. The reductant doser compensation module is configured to determine a modified reductant dosing rate command based at least partially on the predicted actual reductant dosing rate. The reductant injection system injects reductant into the exhaust gas stream at a rate corresponding to the modified reductant dosing rate command.
