Abstract

A method and apparatus for initiating regeneration in a particulate trap including the steps of locating self-mode-stirring microwave-absorbing material in the particulate trap in areas that particulates build up, generating microwaves, absorbing microwaves with the microwave-absorbing material, and controlling the microwaves to initiate a burn-off of particulates.
