INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (IRA) – ELECTRICALLY HEATED METHANE OXIDATION CATALYSTS FOR ROBUST, EFFICIENT EXHAUST METHANE ABATEMENT ON GAS-FIRED ENGINES THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEMONSTRATE AT-SCALE, A METHANE OXIDATION CATALYST WITH THE LONGEVITY (= 8,000 HOURS) AND PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS THAT WILL ENABLE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION IN O&G APPLICATIONS UTILIZING NATURAL GAS ENGINES. THE SYSTEM WILL USE AN ELECTRICALLY HEATED SUBSTRATE TO MAINTAIN THE MOC IN A TEMPERATURE BAND THAT FACILITATES HIGH CONVERSION EFFICIENCIES AND HIGH SULFUR TOLERANCE, OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF LOW-TEMPERATURE EXHAUST AND CATALYST POISONING TRADITIONALLY FACED BY MOCS ON LEAN-BURN ENGINES. THE FIRST PHASE OF THE PROJECT WILL BE USED TO FABRICATE THE SYSTEMS, IMPROVE THE CONTROLLER, AND DEMONSTRATE THE CONTROLLER, INCLUDING EMISSIONS AND SYSTEM MONITORING, AT PILOT SCALE. FIELD TRIALS OF THE FULL-SCALE REACTOR SYSTEMS FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR IN DURATION WILL OCCUR DURING THE SECOND PHASE.
