Emissions Control

How It Works

The patented ultra-clean emissions control technology has been rigorously tested by independent labs and shown to consistently reduce the emission of criteria pollutants contributing to smog (CO and NOx) to near zero levels for spark ignited, rich burn, internal combustion engines.

Conforming to the current carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide standards

Our emissions technology, developed with funding from the California Energy Commission and Southern California Gas Company, has been independently verified by New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection and by AVL California Technology Center. Emissions measurements from stationary systems equipped with the ultra-low emissions technology conform to the current California Air Resource Board (CARB) 2007 carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) standards for distributed power generation.

Engines retrofitted with our Ultera technology measure at or below current natural gas powered fuel cell emissions levels.

Benefits

The Ultera dual stage catalyst system, with exhaust temperature control, can provide a robust solution to meet challenging modes of operation such as rapid acceleration and other heavy-duty transients.
