Abstract

A detailed investigation on the removal of pollutant (NOx & CO) from the exhaust of a stationary diesel engine is being carried out using pulse dielectric barrier discharge plasma augmented catalysis and adsorption techniques. The objective of the study is to explore the Effect of exhaust composition, operating scheme, effect of exhaust concentration, Effect of energy density and type of material on pollutants removal. The investigation is being carried out with many system configurations involving electrical pulse discharge plasma augmented catalysis and adsorption. To study the effect of exhaust composition experiments conducted on both filtered & raw exhaust, further experiments are carried out at different loads to study the effect of exhaust concentration on the pollutants removal. Finally comparison of various systems configuration is made and results are discussed.
