Catalyst for growth at CDT

Emissions control specialist Clean Diesel Technologies has announced the European launch of a new catalyst system designed to reduce NOx levels from heavy vehicle engines.

CDT, which develops systems to reduce particulates in combustion engines, is integrating urea dosing units into its existing selective catalytic reduction systems (SCRs) for the first time. According to the US company, it will be the first commercially available and fully integrated airless urea injection tool in Europe, and will help the automotive sector to achieve the NOx emission reduction levels required under stringent EU legislation.

Based on CDT's proprietary Advanced Reagent Injector System (ARIS) — a return-flow design that avoids the need for complex air-assisted injection systems — the company is looking to target the burgeoning retrofit and original equipment automotive markets throughout

.

CDT claims its core SCR technology is now used by the majority of heavy-duty diesel truck and bus manufacturers, to ensure compliance with EURO 4 and 5 NOx rules on vehicle emissions.
