These differences cause <span class=\"emphasis\">non-uniform wear<\/span> and tear on the catalyst.

This ensures that the catalyst test results are <span class=\"emphasis\">representative<\/span> of the actual condition of the bulk catalyst in a way that single-sample testing cannot. These results, particularly when combined with operating data analysis, provide a <span class=\"emphasis\">secure foundation<\/span> from which to make future catalyst maintenance and replacement plans.  This level of analysis minimizes the risk of unplanned catalyst maintenance or replacement, which can help you avoid costly environmental fines, forced plant downtime, and expensive expediting costs.<\/p>\n<p>There are some instances when single sample testing may be appropriate. Baseline testing of a new catalyst, interim testing between full system evaluations, and post-mortem failure analysis of a spent catalyst are the most common cases where single sample testing is acceptable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the real operating environment of an SCR catalyst, exhaust gas temperatures, flows, and other factors vary across the catalyst cross-section.
