NxtGen provides one solution for DPF and LNT regeneration that liberates fuel economy gains through engine recalibration.

This proprietary technology reduces aftertreatment complexity and provides economic value to engine manufacturers, aftertreatment system suppliers, vehicle manufacturers and fleet operators.

Key benefits of NxtGen's aftertreatment solution include: System regenerates both DPFs and LNTs with reduced system complexity and manufacturing cost. Enables engine OEMs to avoid the use of expensive components including variable geometry turbochargers and exhaust gas recirculation. No urea required: eliminate urea distribution, quality control and compliance costs for diesel engine OEMs. No precious metal catalysts in the Syngas Generator that degrade over time means increased system durability. Active DPF regeneration is initiated at lower temperatures than diesel fuel resulting in lower fuel consumption. Minimum fuel consumption for DPF and LNT regeneration. Potential to reduce volume and precious metal loading of DPFs and LNTs with reduced system costs. Potential to assist lean engine combustion with increased fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions.  Support vehicle electrification/APUs for idle reduction. Increase net fuel economy by 2% to 10% by engine recalibration (engine timing and EGR).

Unlike competitors, NxtGen uses a single regenerating agent, syngas, for both diesel particulate filters and NOx catalytic beds enabling a simpler, lower-cost solution. Rival Urea-SCR technology only reduces NOx emissions; diesel engine manufacturers must ensure accessible urea distribution infrastructure is available and vehicle operators must fill a secondary tank with expensive and hard-to-find urea every time they stop for re-fueling.

Using syngas for diesel aftertreatment enables OEMs to eliminate both complex engine operating modes and the fuel consumption penalties associated with other aftertreatment approaches. NxtGen's components enable OEMs to increase fuel economy through engine recalibration and to utilize syngas for multiple uses onboard a diesel vehicle including lean engine combustion and Auxiliary Power Units.

For retrofit emission system manufacturers, NxtGen minimizes fuel consumption for aftertreatment regeneration and provides modular components that can be used in DPF, LNT or combined DPF - LNT systems.
