Oxidation Catalyst

An oxidation catalyst is a two-way catalytic converter or the chamber in a three-way catalyst that oxidizes unburned hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) to reduce pollution. The oxidation catalyst is effective for the control of carbon monoxide (CO), non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC), volatile organic compounds (VOC), formaldehyde (CH₂O) and EPA classified Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) from any emission source.

Because of the inability for a two-way catalyst to control oxides of nitrogen, they have been superseded by three-way catalysts for certain applications.

Internal Combustion (IC) engines are used in a variety of stationary applications ranging from power generation to inert gas production. Depending on the application, Stationary IC engines range in size from relatively small (~50 hp) for agricultural irrigation purposes to thousands of horsepower for power generation. A variety of fuels can be used for IC engines including natural gas, diesel and gasoline.
