This durable, patented low-cost filter design bridges the gap between low-efficiency diesel-oxidation catalysts and expensive, heavily catalyzed particulate filters. The wire-mesh filter system is designed to work synergistically with a fuel-borne catalyst (FBC) for reliable performance. This combined FBC/CWMF technology is especially suited to solving the challenging problem of delivering a reliable pollution control solution which can be easily retrofitted for the older, higher-emission diesel engines expected to be in service for years to come. CDT will be offering licensing opportunities and technology transfer programs for the CWMF technology to establish manufacturing and distribution partnerships that meet worldwide retrofit and original equipment manufacturer needs. - James Valentine
