Nienburg: Emissions Control Catalysts Site

At the Nienburg catalysts site, BASF produces emissions control catalysts for gasoline- and diesel-powered cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles, construction equipment and other vehicles. However, our product portfolio also comprises catalytic soot (particulate) filters such as the Four-Way Conversion Catalyst (FWC^TM) that not only converts carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide into uncritical water, nitrogen and carbon dioxide but also removes harmful particulate matter. The products help automakers comply with the stringent emissions regulations and keep the air clean.
