CLEERS Workshop 7

Seventh DOE Crosscut Workshop
on Lean Emissions Reduction Simulation
June 16th and 17th, 2004
Detroit Diesel, 13400 Outer Drive West, Detroit, MI 48239

Themes:

Diesel Particle Filters
Selective Catalytic Reduction
Lean NOx Traps
Synergies between these three components in actual systems

Objectives:

Provide technical updates on the latest developments for these technologies and corresponding simulation tools
Enhance collaboration among industry, government and universities
Improve recognition of key research priorities

Purpose

CLEERS workshops are intended as relatively informal but tightly focused forums for sharing recent research results on understanding and simulating lean exhaust emissions control. Joint participation by researchers in government, universities, and industry is encouraged. This is the 7th workshop in a series sponsored by the DOE Office of FreedomCAR and Vehicle Technologies and the DOE Diesel Crosscut Team. The results of the workshop discussions, especially the all-participant discussion at the end, will be documented for the DOE Office of Transportation Technology (OTT) for consideration in improving R&D priorities and technical focus in DOE-supported transportation programs.

About Workshop 7

The seventh CLEERS workshop will be hosted by Detroit Diesel Corporation at their training center in Detroit on June 16th and 17th, 2004. Diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) will be the major discussion themes, but it is also anticipated that there will be important updates on measurements and modeling for lean NOx traps (LNT's) and synergies among these components in actual systems. As with the previous CLEERS workshops, this will be a public meeting open to all who are interested in the most recent developments in understanding and simulating the performance of these devices under realistic conditions.

It is expected that the workshop presentations will include invited presentations by internationally prominent researchers in DPF and SCR and updates on the development of standardized characterization procedures for LNT materials. Contributed presentations of 20-30 minutes about DPF, SCR, and LNT technologies are also invited from interested parties. Those who are interested in making such presentations should contact one of the following topical coordinators:
