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.

A selective catalytic reduction system may include a single housing defining a single centerline axis. The selective catalytic reduction system may also include a diesel particulate filter disposed within the single housing and having a DPF center axis aligned with the single centerline axis. The selective catalytic reduction system may also include an SCR catalyst disposed within the single housing and having a center axis aligned with the single centerline axis. In some implementations, the diesel particulate filter may include one or more SiC filters. In some implementations, the SCR catalyst may include one or more extruded SCR catalysts.

Presented is a process for the off-line regeneration of a deactivated nitrogen oxide decomposition catalyst of a selective catalytic reduction system that is a component of a flue gas treating system. The selective catalytic reduction system is isolated to allow for removal and replacement of deactivated SCR catalyst. The removed SCR catalyst may be regenerated off-line from the flue gas treating system. The off-line regenerated SCR catalyst can be used as a replacement SCR catalyst.

An exhaust gas aftertreatment system with an exhaust gas inlet, at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements, and a flow chamber. The exhaust gas inlet, the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements, and the flow chamber are arranged relative to one another and fluidically connected together such that exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas inlet into the flow chamber can be distributed to the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements. The exhaust gas passes through at least one first of the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements along a first flow direction, and the exhaust gas passes through at least one second of the at least two exhaust gas aftertreatment elements along a second flow direction, wherein the first flow direction and the second flow direction are oriented at least diagonally to each other, preferably anti-parallel to each other.

An auxiliary system with purge control automatically supplies diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to an onboard DEF tank of a diesel engine to enable prolonged unattended operation. The system includes an auxiliary DEF tank, an auxiliary DEF supply line, a controller, a pump, an air inlet, and a three-way valve configured to switch the pump inlet between the auxiliary DEF tank and air. In response to low-level DEF, the pump delivers DEF through the supply line to replenish the onboard DEF tank. The controller may automatically calculate onboard DEF tank volume based on the delivered volume of DEF, and DEF level data received from an ECM, to enable replenishment control regardless of engine make and model. In response to high-level DEF, engine stoppage, or other system fault, the controller switches the valve to air and runs the pump for a predetermined time to purge DEF from the supply line. The auxiliary system may be skid-mounted, portable, and configured to supply DEF to multiple diesel engines.

Disclosed are apparatus and corresponding methodology for a compression clamped exhaust catalyst which is incorporated into a marine exhaust header. A serviceable exhaust catalyst is compression clamped and sealed inside an enclosure associated with a marine exhaust system while still maintaining serviceability. The catalyst is seated on an inset bead or ring on the inside of the enclosure. A ring cooperates with the enclosure to clamp a mating exhaust pipe, with a gasket situated between the two. Other structures are provided to compress the catalyst in the enclosure as it is sealed. As seated, the exhaust catalyst is held into place with a compression fit to limit its longitudinal movement while still remaining accessible for servicing.

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.

A catalytic reactor including: catalytic cassettes each including a catalyst part configured to reduce NOx in exhaust gas and an outer peripheral part made of a frame covering side surfaces of the catalyst part; and a lattice frame on which the catalytic cassettes are placed. The lattice frame includes a plurality of inflow holes through which exhaust gas flows into the catalyst parts and a plurality of frame parts which defines the respective plurality of inflow holes. The outer peripheral part of each of the catalytic cassettes is positioned so that the outer peripheral part is accommodated in a respective one of the frame parts.

An exhaust gas treatment device for an exhaust gas system of an internal combustion engine, including a housing which has at least two equivalently formed receiving elements for arranging the AGN modules, and at least one exhaust gas guide module which is inserted into one of receiving elements, and an exhaust gas guide module for an exhaust gas treatment device of this type.
