Exhaust system

A catalyst assembly for a dual fuel engine, the catalyst assembly comprising:

• a housing containing;
• a first catalyst comprising a methane oxidizing catalyst;
• a second catalyst comprising a selective catalytic reduction catalyst, the first catalyst being positioned upstream of the second catalyst;
• a first guide positioned within the housing for guiding all exhaust gases from the engine and through the first catalyst;
• and
• a second guide positioned within the housing for guiding all exhaust gases through the second catalyst after the exhaust gases have passed through the first catalyst, wherein the first guide comprises an enclosed volume having a perforated baffle plate and wherein the perforated baffle plate guides all said exhaust gases into the first catalyst;
• wherein the second catalyst surrounds the first catalyst.

A method for removing nitrogen oxide and methane from exhaust gases of a dual fuel engine comprising the steps of:

• guiding all exhaust gases from the engine and into a first catalyst forming part of a catalyst assembly, using a first guide positioned within a housing and comprising an enclosed volume having a perforated baffle plate;
• passing all exhaust gases through the first catalyst, the first catalyst comprising a methane oxidizing catalyst;
• causing the exhaust gases to come into contact with a reactant;
• guiding all exhaust gases from the first catalyst and into a second catalyst, using a second guide positioned within the housing;
• and
• passing all exhaust gases from the first catalyst through the second catalyst, the second catalyst comprising a selective reduction catalyst, the second catalyst surrounding the first catalyst.
