Spark Ignition Engine Emissions

Course details

This specialist short course aims to review spark ignition engine combustion and emissions. Particular emphasis is placed on engine warm-up, catalyst performance and warm-up, non-regulated emissions and fuel composition influences.

All the lectures are from industrialists and University researchers active in addressing current problems in SI emissions control and the course will thus enable course participants to be familiar with the latest technology developments.

On completing this course, given by acknowledged experts in the field, participants will:

• comprehend the origins and magnitudes of gaseous and particulate emissions from spark ignition engines;
• know the relative importance of these emissions and their role in global and regional air pollution and develop an understanding of the longer term possibilities for very low greenhouse gas and urban emissions from spark ignition engines.;
• appreciate the wide range of emission control methods available including fuel preparation and combustion, changing fuels, engine after-treatment technologies and leading edge technologies;
• have an opportunity for an informal exchange of ideas across traditional boundaries.

An example course programme is available in the left hand column.

Course Dates

This course runs on an ad hoc, rather than annual, basis. We may also be able to provide a bespoke course according to your companies needs. A summary of the course content can be found above. If you wish to express an interest in attending this course, arranging a bespoke course or for any other enquiries please email cpd@engineering.leeds.ac.uk

Who should attend

The course is ideally suited to engineers who have recently been appointed with responsibility for any aspect of spark ignition engine emissions. The course will also be relevant to those wishing to update their knowledge of recent emissions problems their knowledge of recent emissions problems and potential solutions. Information on the latest research findings on emission reduction techniques will be available.

Each day has one or two themes and delegates may attend any combination of days.
