Abstract:
1. A method for reducing emissions using a system having a fuel processor bypass comprising: introducing exhaust into an exhaust pipe, the exhaust pipe connected to a bypass pipe, wherein the bypass pipe comprises an inlet, an outlet, and defines a lumen adapted for the passage of gas therethrough, both the inlet and the outlet of the bypass pipe connecting with the exhaust pipe; introducing the exhaust into a NO opening a valve located at the inlet or outlet of the bypass pipe to regenerate the NO injecting fuel into the bypass pipe, upstream of a fuel processor located in the bypass pipe between the inlet and outlet, wherein the fuel processor comprises an inlet, an outlet, a catalytic element, defines at least one lumen adapted for the passage of gas therethrough and produces a reducing mixture comprised of CO and H introducing the reducing mixture into the NO closing the valve to cut the flow to the bypass pipe while maintaining the flow to the NO
