How Fuel Borne Catalysts Work
Fuel borne catalysts introduce catalytic materials directly into the combustion process, helping improve combustion efficiency and reducing the temperature required for particulate oxidation.
- FBC added to use
Fuel Borne Catalyst enters the combustion process through the treated diesel fuel.
- Enhances fuel combustion reducing soot formation
Associates with particulate during combustion
- Catalyzed soot captured by DPF
Helps oxidize soot at lower temperature
- Lowers regeneration temperature of soot
Captured in the diesel particulate filter
This can support:
- Improved DPF regeneration
- Reduced particulate emissions
- Lower maintenance requirements
- Improved fuel utilization
- Enhanced equipment reliability
CDTi’s formulations are engineered to provide consistent performance across demanding operating conditions, including on-road transportation, mining, marine, power generation, and off-road equipment applications.
