US Patent 7799289 Exhaust treatment system with NO

An exhaust treatment system includes a catalyzed particulate filter disposed in a first passageway and configured to receive a first portion of a flow of exhaust. The catalyzed particulate filter is at least partially coated with a catalytic material for converting NO to NO2. The exhaust treatment system also includes a second passageway configured to direct a second portion of the flow of exhaust around the catalyzed particulate filter and a selective catalytic reduction device disposed downstream from the first passageway and the second passageway. The selective catalytic reduction device is configured to receive a combined flow of exhaust including the first and second portions of the flow of exhaust.
