Aftertreatment Solutions

The optimal selection and application of aftertreatment solutions is a crucial aspect of many Ricardo engine development projects. Ricardo’s team of engineers and chemists is familiar with all aspects of aftertreatment specification, development and production implementation.

Aftertreatment services: 

• Aftertreatment system, specification, design, test based development and validation
• Identification and assessment of candidate technologies and systems
• Catalyst substrate and coating specification and cost optimization
• Measurement of key unregulated emissions species such as methane, ammonia, NO2, N2O and black carbon in raw exhaust gas, sampling pre- and post-catalysts
• Particle number measurements to the PMP protocols required for Euro VI
• Particulate analyses for fuel and oil, sulphates, nitrates and elemental carbon to aid in combustion and catalyst function diagnoses
• Wear metals, fuel in oil, soot in oil and lubricant degradation monitoring
