Introduction
To comply with the US Interim Tier 4 or EU Stage III
B emission standards, implementation of either a
particulate matter (PM) or a nitrogen oxides (NOx)
aftertreatment is recommended. Deployment of
aftertreatment enables the engine to extend its power
range, altitude capabilities and transient performance
characteristics. Both exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)
and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technologies
are available for the Interim Tier 4 market. The choice
between EGR and SCR for NOx reduction depends
on the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
production history, technology experience, customer

HC is oxidised over the downstream platinumpalladium (Pt-Pd) catalysed DPF, as shown in Figure
9. The black bar represents the HC concentration
before the DOC and is above 2000 ppm (off the
scale of measurement). The blue bar represents the
measured HC level at the DOC outlet, or HC slip. Only
low ppm levels of HC were detectable at the DPF
outlet, represented by the green bar. Despite a light
pgm loading, the catalysed DPF was very efficient
for HC oxidations during active regenerations due to
its large volume and high reaction temperatures. At
lower flow conditions, DOC HC oxidation efficiency
was nearly 100%.
The DOC ensured a good energy balance for
temperature controls with little waste. Even after full
