Catalytic Converters

Three-way Catalytic Converters transform pollutants into harmless gases before releasing them into the environment. These converters generally consist of a stainless steel housing containing the catalytically active material applied onto a ceramic or metallic monolith as support.

Responsible for the transformation of the pollutants into harmless gases is the catalytically active material, called "washcoat". This material consists of a combination of various oxides and metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium incorporated into a porous structure which allows intimate contact with the exhaust gas. The composition and the structure enable the interaction with the exhaust gas and the chemical transformation into harmless compounds.

Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF)

A DPF is the best solution to reduce diesel particulate emissions. A special coating facilitates a burn-off of the trapped soot particles and therefore allows for continuous operation without the built-up of soot and an increase of backpressure in the exhaust system.
