Systems and methods for using transport time to estimate engine aftertreatment system characteristics

A system includes a controller that has a processor. The processor is configured to receive a first signal from a first sensor indicative of a first exhaust measurement, wherein the first sensor is disposed at a catalytic converter system inlet of a catalytic converter system. The processor is further configured to derive one or more of an estimated length, estimated volume, or estimated transport delay of an exhaust conduit based on the first signal, wherein a first end of the exhaust conduit is connected to an engine outlet of a engine, and a second end of the exhaust conduit is connected to the catalytic converter system inlet; and to apply the one or more of estimated length, estimated volume, or estimated transport delay of the exhaust conduit during control of the engine.

A method for detecting the aging of a heterogeneous catalytic converter, including the following steps: acquiring at least one measurement signal in a media flow passing through the catalytic converter downstream of the catalytic converter; applying a time-variant input signal to the media flow and/or the catalytic converter; evaluating a behavior of the at least one measurement signal as a function of the time-variant input signal; and detecting a state of aging of the catalytic converter.

Catalytic system and method for the removal of HCN from off-gases of a fluid cracking unit using same, and FCC unit assembly including the catalytic system

Systems and methods directed at removing HCN from an FCC process flue gas (and/or generated in the catalyst system reactions themselves) such that the final HCN output is satisfactory; while, in so doing, avoiding undesirable levels of other pollutants contained in that exhaust gas such as NOx. A system includes an assembly having a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit generating a flue gas with HCN and NOx and a catalyst device placed in the flue gas line to remove HCN and NOx. The catalyst device having one or more SCR catalytic articles, as in one free of platinum group metal material (PGM) or a dual functioning SCR catalyst with PGM, or a combination of each. The assembly can be provided with an ammonia supplier and optionally an H2O supplier with associated injection for supply into the flue gas upstream of a catalytic article(s).
