In one aspect, catalyst modules and catalytic reactors are provided which, in some embodiments, mitigate inefficiencies and/or problems associated with fluid stream pressure drop A catalyst module comprises a layer of structural catalyst bodies arranged in a pleated format, the structural catalyst bodies forming pleat inlet faces and pleat outlet faces, wherein fluid flow channels defined by inner partition walls of the structural catalyst bodies extend from the pleat inlet faces to the pleat outlet faces. The pleat inlet faces form an angle (δ) with an inlet face of the module.

This catalyst system simultaneously removes ammonia and enhances net NOx conversion by placing an NH.sub.3-SCR catalyst formulation downstream of a lean NOx trap. By doing so, the NH.sub.3-SCR catalyst adsorbs the ammonia from the upstream lean NOx trap generated during the rich pulses. The stored ammonia then reacts with the NOx emitted from the upstream lean NOx trap-enhancing the net NOx conversion rate significantly, while depleting the stored ammonia. By combining the lean NOx trap with the NH.sub.3-SCR catalyst, the system allows for the reduction or elimination of NH.sub.3 and NOx slip, reduction in NOx spikes and thus an improved net NOx conversion during lean and rich operation.
