Significantly Reduce Catalyst Aging Time and Costs With Advanced C-FOCAS® and Natural Gas Burner Technologies, Utilizing Patented Innovations.
To support your automotive catalyst testing program, you need state-of-the-art technology, precise testing and data, and fast results. Our catalyst aging services utilizes patented C-FOCAS® and natural gas burner technology to help significantly reduce aging costs and over-temperature conditions for OEMs and suppliers. We also provide burner manufacturing, engineering services, and support for your aging program.
Testing Capabilities
- Age full-sized automotive catalyst systems rapidly and precisely
- Simulate the flow of exhaust gas from an engine under a variety of load conditions
- Age 3-way catalysts or gasoline particulate filters (GPF) using gasoline or natural gas fuels under stoichiometric, lean, or rich conditions
- Measure oxygen storage capacity of catalysts pre and post aging to index deterioration or compare catalyst performance
- Age DOC or SCR components under lean conditions
- Accumulate ash in a GPF to a targeted mass with the newly developed Mass Injection Cart System (MICS)
- Accurately inject oil or metered poison to simulate engine oil consumption
- Inject diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into combustion stream for selective catalyst reduction (SCR) aging
- Precisely control catalyst aging temperature with less variation (and to higher extremes) than can be obtained from an engine-based system
- Simulate high-engine exhaust temperatures and maximum flow-rates with hot gas burners
- Correlate our C-FOCAS® burner to pre-existing aging cycles as well as further develop the cycle to higher temperatures to reduce the overall time and cost of your aging program
- Run up to four catalysts simultaneously
Mass Injection Cart Systems (MICS)
Now available, our Mass Injection Cart System (MICS) accumulates ash in a GPF to a targeted mass. This system is also our method for adding additional components to the exhaust stream such as phosphorus, DEF or water.
