Integration advantages: – Lower volume, cost
– Improved transfer: heat, gas components
– Earlier urea injection, improved cold start SCR
– Low exhaust temperature
High temperature stable SCR formulations SCR catalyst that tolerates up to 800-900°C?
– Fe-β-zeolite – not stable and requires NO2
– V2O5/ WO3/ TiO2 not stable
– Cu- β-zeolite – not stable
Cu chabazite (and alike) materials are good candidates – Cu-SAPO-34 chosen for this study (ZSCR)
– Cost-effective solution for small ring zeolites
Thermal effects and hydrothermal stability
Big difference in hydrothermal stability: Cu-Beta vs. Cu-SAPO-34
Cu-SAPO-34 must be activated @high T to obtain activity – Decrease in Cu surface concentration upon calcination

Filter materials: lab screening Candidates with porosity potential (57–75%) for SCR integration:
- SiC - Cordierite - ATI - Mullite
Coat load range 100–220 g/L depending on the filter material Focus on DeNOx performance and pressure drop
DeNOx/Δp optimal SCR loadings found
All samples benchmarked against flow-through monoliths
Notation:
– ’Low’ porosity: 57-60%
– ’Medium’ porosity: 65%
– ’High’ porosity: 75% !
Optimal coat load study: Low porosity at NHSV = 100,000 h-1
Above certain coat load only dP continues increasing
A small drop in NOx conversion observed at too high loads
Max Nox conversion vs dP for 250 and 400C.Different coat loads.

DeNOx activity with NO2=f(Δp, T). Low porosity
For low porosity filters, addition of NO2 can help close the gap in activity between SCR/DPF and flow-through

Laboratory findings Coat load optimum (120–180g/L) & coating procedure
established for various materials/porosities
High coat load gives the same DeNOx as flow-thorough
Satisfactory performance after ageing for 64hrs @750°C
Several porosity filters chosen for up scaling and engine bench tests with soot
1. Soot – Δp curve 2. Active soot regeneration (Tin=600 ºC, 4- 5 g/l) 3. Steady state NOx activity with soot (4-5 g/l) 4. WHTC: fresh & aged filter 5. NH3 absorption w & w/o soot 6. Passive/NO2 soot regeneration (BPT w & w/o urea) 8. PN and PM filtration 9. Drop to idle test (4-5 g/l) 10. Ash influence CAN TESTS WITH SOOT CHANGE THE OBTAINED LAB RATING?

Conclusions and future outlook SCR+DPF replacement with ’ZSCR/DPF only’ is possible
Good NOx conversions in test cycles for different porosities
High coat load gives equivalent activity to flow-through
dP for ZSCR/DPF is near traditional cDPF + SCR systems
Passive regeneration: SCR and soot compete for NO2. DOC must be optimized for high NO2
Active regeneration: max soot load and T ramping management need good control (thermal peaks risk)
Selection of high loading ZSCR/DPF requires full validation!
