Air quality across Europe is being substantially improved due to the advent of legislation limiting the levels of particulate matter that can be emitted from diesel exhausts.

This has resulted not only in the development of more fuel-efficient diesel engines, but also in the development of exhaust after-treatment devices, such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs), designed to collect and burn-off the soot developed by the engine.

We have unparalleled experience in the development and supply of fuel borne catalysts (FBCs) for use in exhaust systems with a diesel particulate filter. Our dedicated Fuel Borne Catalysts team has been at the forefront of FBC technology for many years, helping to create a unique range of products for different particulate filter designs.

Our unique range of iron-based organo-metallic fuel borne catalysts ensure complete and rapid filter regeneration by pre-catalysing the soot formed during combustion, with tiny particles of iron oxide.

This ensures that any soot trapped in the filter will burn off at the lower temperatures typically encountered during normal engine operation. The filter is therefore regenerated during everyday driving without having to worry about filter clogging or damage.
