EFFECT OF FTC FUEL TREATMENT ON REDUCED
CO2 AND EXHAUST TEMPERATURES

A study was made of the quite extensive data base of information extracted during Fuel Technology’s exhaust emission carbon balance fuel efficiency test programs.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a clear trend was discernible of reduced CO2 levels and reduced exhaust gas temperatures.

The result of this study confirms that FTC fuel treatment will reduce CO2 levels and exhaust gas temperatures as well as soot particulates and, of course, fuel consumption.

Exhaust Temperature Analysis

Review of exhaust temperature results from 50 diesel gensets:

decrease 38 units (75%)
unchanged 2 units
increase 10 units

Average reduction in exhaust temperature 9.2°C

CO2 Gas Analysis

Review of CO2 levels from 108 units made up of
50 gensets and 58 mine mobile units:

decrease 94 units (87%)
unchanged 2 units
increase 12 units

Average reduction of CO2 gas levels 3.7%

Recent studies conducted by Southwest Research Institute at San Antonio, Texas, has confirmed our field studies and show reductions in carbon monoxide ranging from 13.5% to 24%. Particulates (g/mL) ranging from 20.6% to 37.3% and NOx gases (g/mL) ranging from 0% to 20.5% and unburned hydrocarbons ranging from 1.4% to 13.8%.
