Systems and methods of removing at least nitrogen oxides from an exhaust
fluid generally include dividing a flow of an exhaust fluid comprising a
concentration of nitric oxide into three types of flow-through cells. The
first flow-through cell comprises a catalyst configured to reduce the
nitric oxide with a reductant to form a first feedstream comprising
nitrogen containing species derived therefrom. The second flow-through
cell comprises a catalyst configured to oxidize nitric oxide to form a
second feedstream comprising nitrogen dioxide. The third flow-through
cell does not change the nitric oxide concentration and form a third
feedstream comprising nitric oxide. After flowing through the three
different types of cells, the feedstreams are mixed to form a homogenous
mixture and then fed to a catalyst bed configured to convert the nitrogen
containing species, the nitric oxide, and the nitrogen dioxide to a fluid
comprising nitrogen gas and water.
