Title: Systems and methods to reduce reductant consumption in exhaust aftertreatment systems

Abstract

Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for reducing reductant consumption in an exhaust after treatment system that includes a first SCR device and a downstream second SCR device, a first reductant injector upstream of the first SCR device, and a second reductant injector between the first and second SCR devices. NOx conversion occurs with reductant injection by the first reductant injector to the first SCR device in a first temperature range and with reductant injection by the second reductant injector to the second SCR device when the temperature of the first SCR device is above a reductant oxidation conversion threshold.
