Biofriendly Corporation announced the results of tests conducted by Petroecuador, the national oil company of Ecuador. The tests were designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Green plus TM in reducing major combustion gas emissions in diesel engines. The Research Technology Development Unit of Petroecuador supervised the tests, with the participation of Chemeng, a government approved testing organization.
The Petroecuador report concluded that Green Plus TM demonstrated an ability to significantly reduce the four major toxic and gaseous emissions of diesel fuel combustion that can lead to serious health problems and climate-changing effects.
The tests were conducted on diesel buses as well as stationary engines utilizing certified test equipment. The results of the stationary engines showed Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions dropped by an average of 52.27%, Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions decreased by an average of 43.57%, and Sulfur Dioxide (SOx) emissions decreased by an average of 50.06%. On the mobile source bus engines, "The opacity of the smoke produced in the emissions of the two buses was reduced by levels of more than 90% in periods of five to fifteen days," according to Petroecuador, Carbon Monoxide was reduced by an average of 54.98%, Nitrogen Oxides reduced by 53 %, and Sulfur Dioxide by 4.66%.
According to the report, there is an "Urgent need to improve air quality" in Ecuador. Immediate and long-term reductions of respiratory diseases; decreases in the number of vehicles that emit large quantities of smoke; cleaner engines, buildings and cities; more tourism as a result of better air quality; and improved efficiency - are all potential benefits of using the Green Plus TM fuel catalyst.
Under development for over 10 years, Green Plus TM is a new product that employs nanotechnology (working at the molecular level) to achieve a breakthrough combination of improved fuel economy and reduced emissions. Green Plus TM is a liquid combustion catalyst that is added in very small quantities to fuel in order to create a more complete, cooler and more linear burn. The product has undergone rigorous testing in the United States and Europe, and has over 75 million miles of on-road/on-ocean use. The Biofriendly Corporation now offers Green PlusTM commercially in Ecuador.
