An exhaust treatment system for a combustion source is disclosed. The exhaust treatment system may have a supply of catalyst configured to lower the combustion threshold value of an exhaust constituent, and an injector operable to selectively pass catalyst to the exhaust constituent. The exhaust treatment system may further have a controller in communication with the injector. The controller may be configured to determine a temperature of an exhaust flow, and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature.

What is claimed is: 1. An exhaust treatment system for a combustion source, comprising: a supply of catalyst configured to lower a combustion threshold value of an exhaust constituent; an injector operable to selectively pass catalyst to the exhaust constituent without injecting fuel, wherein the c
What is claimed is: 1. An exhaust treatment system for a combustion source, comprising: a supply of catalyst configured to lower a combustion threshold value of an exhaust constituent; an injector operable to selectively pass catalyst to the exhaust constituent without injecting fuel, wherein the catalyst is passed into a fuel supply downstream of a fuel line delivering the fuel; and a controller in communication with the injector and configured to operate the injector to pass catalyst based on a condition of an exhaust flow. 2. The exhaust treatment system of claim 1, further including a sensor in fluid communication with the exhaust flow and in communication with the controller, the sensor being configured to generate a signal indicative of the exhaust flow temperature; wherein the controller is configured to: determine a temperature of the exhaust flow; and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature. 3. The exhaust treatment system of claim 2, further including a collection device configured to collect the exhaust constituent, wherein the sensor is located downstream of the collection device. 4. The exhaust treatment system of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to: determine a temperature of the exhaust flow based on a known operating condition of the combustion source; and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature. 5. The exhaust treatment system if claim 1, wherein: the fuel supply includes: a tank; a manifold; and a pressure source configured to draw fuel from the tank, pressurize the fuel, and direct the pressurized fuel to the manifold; and the catalyst is passed into the manifold. 6. The exhaust treatment system of claim 1, wherein the catalyst is at least one of platinum, copper, cerium, manganese, and iron. 7. The exhaust treatment system of claim 1, wherein the exhaust constituent is particulate matter. 8. The exhaust treatment system of claim 7, further including a particulate filter configured to trap the particulate matter, wherein injections of the catalyst assist regeneration of the particulate filter. 9. A power system, comprising: a supply of fuel including a fuel line configured to deliver fuel to a fuel manifold; a supply of air; a combustion engine configured to receive and combust the supplies of fuel and air, and produce an exhaust flow containing particulate matter; a particulate trap configured to collect the particulate matter; and an injector configured to inject a catalyst into the supply of fuel downstream of the fuel line based on a condition of the exhaust flow and without also injecting fuel, the catalyst being configured to reduce a combustion threshold of the collected particulate matter. 10. The power system of claim 9, wherein the catalyst is at least one of platinum, copper, cerium, manganese, and iron. 11. The power system of claim 9 further including: a controller configured to: determine a temperature of the exhaust flow based on a known operating condition of the combustion source; and operate the injector to pass catalyst in response to the combustion threshold value being greater than the determined temperature. 12. The power system of claim 9, wherein: the fuel supply further includes: a tank; and a pressure source configured to draw fuel from the tank though the fuel line, pressurize the fuel, and direct the pressurized fuel to the manifold; and the injector injects the catalyst into the manifold.
