Abstract

Various methods for and embodiments of an aftertreatment system which includes a catalyst disposed upstream of a particulate filter are provided. In one example, the method includes, conducting soot regeneration of the particulate filter under a selected operating condition, and determining whether a soot regeneration frequency of the particulate filter is greater than a threshold frequency. The method further includes initiating a sulfur regeneration of the aftertreatment system based on the soot regeneration frequency of the particulate filter being greater than the threshold frequency, determining whether the soot regeneration frequency of the particulate filter is less than the threshold frequency after the sulfur regeneration, and conducting non-regeneration operation of the aftertreatment system based on the soot regeneration frequency of the particulate filter being less than the threshold frequency after the sulfur regeneration of the aftertreatment system.
