Which outcome occurs when fuel sulfur content exceeds fuel catalyst limits in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system?

💡 Explanation

Catalyst poisoning occurs at high sulfur levels driven by chemisorption of sulfur compounds onto active metal sites within the catalyst. This deactivation increases emissions because it reduces the catalyst's surface area, therefore performance declines rather than improves, with optimal operation impossible.
