A diesel engine catalyst (DEC) is a catalytic converter designed specifically for diesel engines to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and the organic fraction of diesel particulate matter. DECs efficiently convert these harmful gases and particulates into less-toxic carbon dioxide and water through catalytic oxidation reactions. DECs are a mature, widely used commercial technology for diesel engine emission control and are often used in combination with other aftertreatment devices such as diesel particulate filters and selective catalytic reduction systems.
