Aftertreatment Devices

« Back to Glossary Index

Devices which remove pollutants from exhaust gases after the gas leaves combustion chamber (e.g., Catalytic converters or Diesel particulate filters). The term exhaust gas aftertreatment is considered derogatory by some in the emission control industry, but there is no consensus on the use of such alternatives as post-combustion treatment or exhaust emission control.
