Aftertreatment System

An Introduction to Aftertreatment Systems

The main function of an aftertreatment system is to significantly reduce harmful emissions produced by diesel fuel powered equipment. It does so by targeting certain molecules present after diesel combustion and converting or processing them into less harmful byproducts.
