An oxidation catalyst removes carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions.
Typically oxidation catalysts are used with gas or dual-fuel engines. The noble metals, such as platinum (Pt) or palladium (Pd), on the catalyst support structure act as catalyst by allowing oxidation of CO and HC by residual oxygen in the flue gas.
The basic small units are primarily designed for CO removal. Larger oxidation catalysts are used when the CO abatement need is increased or when there is a need for the abatement of formaldehyde (CH3O ) and other hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOC) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC).
No additional reagent is required for the oxidation catalyst process.
