VIKPIC is a catalyst concept designed and developed for diesel engines to achieve EURO IV, V & VI emission limits by trapping and oxidizing the particulates. The substrate channels are made from corrugated screen layers forming a nonblocking element. The reduction of particulate matter (PM) significantly exceeds its volatile organic content with 50 - 75% PM conversions being achieved. This passively regenerated particle filter does not require any complicated diagnostics to be used for the installation & use on vehicles.
