The picture gets complicated by the fact that sulfur in the fuel will fill up the NOx adsorber so that it doesn't have room to collect the NOx. They call it sulfur poisoning. So, the regen cycle you see on some monitors called DeSOx cleans the sulfur out of the NOx adsorber. Now, since the NOx adsorber is so sensitive to sulfur, the industry had to move from LSD which is 500ppm max sulfur to ULSD which is only 15ppm max.

In other words 15ppm sulfur was not really help the environment but to help the Nox filter perform at its best??? That makes me even more mad...
I thought we were doing the environment a big favor by reducing 485ppm (500 minus 15)of sulfur
