Diesel Oxidadtion Catalyst (DOC)
DOC units oxidize hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) while helping control odor and visible emissions.
Where They’re Used
Standalone for lighter-duty applications or paired with DPF or SCR systems for more stringent regulations, including:
Stationary power generators in urban areas
Air quality non-attainment zones
Industrial sites with permit limits
Benefits
Simple, reliable design with long service life
Strong performance in continuous or variable-load conditions
Low maintenance requirements
When DOC is Needed
To Meet Air Emissions Regulations: Limits on CO, HV/VOCs, diesel odor, and visible smoke.
For Emergency or Prime Power Generators in Regulated Areas: Hospitals, data centers, airports, or sites under EPA, EU, or local environment oversight.
Upstream of DPF: Converts NO to NO₂ for passive regeneration, reduces HC that could foul the filter, and controls exhaust temperature
Reduce Exhaust Odor and Improve Air Quality Near People: Exhaust outlets near buildings, air intakes, or populated areas.
For Fuel Quality or Engine Operation Issues: Low load operation, cold starts, or high HC fuel.
Typical Reductions
CO: 80-90%
HC/VOCs: 50-90%
Odor: Significant
PM (organic fraction only): 20-40%
