Afterburnig is a phenomenan which happens in Dilute phase of the Regenerator. Generally, There will be small temperature difference betwee Dilute and Dense Phase temperatures. If Dilute phase temperature becomes much Higher, which may be the result of unbunrnt CO (due to incomplete combustion of Carbon) converted to CO2 with the excess oxygen availale in Dilute phase. Chemical reaction for forming CO2 from CO is Heighly Exothermic and releases Heat.
CO Promotor is additive catalyst, which helps, CO to burn in Dense phase only to maitain Regenerator Downstream system Design temperature below Mechanical Design Limits.

CO promoters are required to control afterburn. There are several CO-Promoters available in the market to control afterburn. Generally Pt based promoters, though effective, cause increase in NOx emission, so non-Pt based promoters are also available in the market to solve the problem.
