IMI Vision - developing an innovative solution to emissions regulations for heavy engines

IMI is a leading international business supplying high value-added products to major global customers in growing markets. As an IMI Vision engineer saw an opportunity to create an innovative solution to the emissions regulations for heavy diesel engines, the tighter legislation would affect European and North American heavy trucks with progressive reductions in NOx and particulates.

One solution is a ‘Urea Dosing System’ adding a water-based urea solution to the exhaust gas. However, these systems require a separate compressed air supply and long effective exhaust pipes - packaging them on vehicles can be difficult. IMI Vision’s innovation offers a solution to both of these issues with a design that does not require compressed air, is smaller to package and can reduce the size of the catalyst required.

The project was technically challenging, in that it combined a complex chemical system with the requirement to operate in the harsh environment of a diesel truck. PA Consulting Group provided IMI Vision with technology consulting, project management support, automotive sector insights, and innovative process optimisation.

"PA's major contributions of technical expertise, project management resource, and industry insight added significant value to IMI", says Clive Buckberry, IMI Vision.
