Description:
The two-volume report describes results from testing a rich-burn reciprocating internal combustion engine retrofitted with a nonselective catalytic reduction system for NOx reduction. A comprehensive test program was performed to characterize catalyst inlet and outlet organic and inorganic emissions at optimum catalyst NOx reduction performance, followed by a 15-day exhaust emission monitoring program to measure the catalyst performance under typical engine operating conditions. Over the 15-day monitoring period, NOx reduction performance was mostly in the 0 to 40% range.
