The OMEGA Synthetic Gas Recirculating Reactor is an electrically powered system that provides flexible and precise conditions for catalyst ageing and characterisation. By independently controlling temperature, flow rate, and gas composition, OMEGA can accurately replicate real-world exhaust conditions. This enables testing across a range of durability ageing cycles or characterisation protocols, with unparalleled control and reliability.

OMEGA’s flexibility allows it to service multiple industry sectors using catalyst technologies, including Heavy-Duty Diesel (HDD), Gasoline, Petrochemicals, and Industrial-Scale Catalysts. By simulating conditions without an engine, OMEGA eliminates operator and engine variability, ensuring industry-leading accuracy with less than 2% test-to-test variability. This gives OEMs greater confidence in emissions performance and compliance.

Key benefits include significant cost savings, up to 30% in aftertreatment testing programmes through right-first-time catalyst ageing, reduced risk of costly engine failures, and reduced fuel consumption. In addition, OMEGA testing, when powered by renewable electricity, displaces up to 98% of CO₂ emissions compared to conventional engine testing.

Our testing has been approved by multiple authorities: The Vehicle Certification Agency, Applus+ IDIADA, TÜV SÜD, ECO Cert, CETOC TS, UTAC, LUXCONTROL, TUV HESSEN and ATEEL.

OMEGA offers a breakthrough in catalyst testing: repeatable, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative that accelerates aftertreatment and catalyst development.
