Hydrocarbon Lean NOx Catalyst (HC-LNC) after- treatment solution designed to reduce harmful ni- trogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. Through a joint development with GE, Tenneco Inc (NYSE: TEN) and Umicore (headquartered in Brus- sels, Belgium), researchers have demonstrated NOx conversions on an engine between 85-95% across a temperature window of 325-425C° (617°-797° Fahrenheit), using E85 as the reductant. The HC-LNC system reduces NOx emissions as effectively as urea- based SCR systems and provides an option to those market segments seeking an alternative to urea-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Tenneco, an industry leader in emission control technology and systems integration, is currently in an exclusive period with GE to develop and commer- cialize aftertreatment systems containing GE’s propri- etary HC-LNC catalyst for certain applications.
Umicore, who provides expertise in catalyst manuf- acturing and material science, has been granted a technology license for manufacturing the HC-LNC catalyst to supply aftertreatment system licensees.
