21st Century Fuel Additive to be Launched in the Philippines
DMX Technology Corporation is introducing a new diesel additive technology in the Philippines that dramatically reduces the consumption of diesel fuel and harmful emissions to the environment. DMX is a distributor of BASF AG, Germany and Cerulean International Ltd., United Kingdom.
(PRWEB) February 1, 2005 -- DMX Technology Corporation is introducing a new
diesel additive technology in the Philippines that dramatically reduces the
consumption of diesel fuel and harmful emissions to the environment. DMX is a
distributor of BASF AG, Germany and Cerulean International Ltd., United Kingdom.
The world’s latest and highly effective additive package nanotechnology
application in diesel fuel contains Keropur™ DP 4540, which incorporates
Cerulean’s Envirox™ - a new fuel-borne catalyst. This can result in significant
fuel savings of up to 10 percent and a 14 percent reduction in emissions.
Petteri Makitalo, DMX’s Chief Executive officer said
DMX met Cerulean at the Asian Development Bank sponsored BAQ (Better Air
Quality) 2003 Congress. He added that Envirox™ technology had recently undergone
a successful 12-month commercial evaluation by the multi national Stagecoach
Group based in the UK. In addition, there are similar evaluations being
undertaken by transportation, shipping and oil companies in the Philippines.
“BASF bought into the Envirox™ technology in July
2004 by signing a collaboration agreement with Cerulean International. BASF now
supplies Keropur™ DP 4540, an ultra-modern, next-generation diesel performance
additive package, to oil companies. This diesel performance additive package
will add less than one peso per liter to the price of regular diesel, but it
will provide enormous cost savings by reducing fuel consumption as a result of
increases in engine efficiency. Keropur™ DP 4540 containing Envirox™, is
destined to improve the economic position of the local transportation industry
and boost environmental protection,” the DMX chief executive assured.
“For example, if a fleet, which consumes 1 million liters of diesel per
month, uses Keropur™ DP 4540 containing Envirox™, consumption can be reduced to
less than 900,000 liters per month, resulting in tremendous cost savings and
performance benefits.”
The improved fuel economy and lower emissions are
achieved by using a patented catalyst technology that is also used in catalytic
converters. Keropur™ DP 4540 incorporating Envirox™ is added to the diesel fuel
before it is distributed to filling stations, and the fuel is filled into the
vehicle in the normal fashion. This new performance additive package modifies
the combustion profile so that more output is delivered over each combustion
cycle for a given quantity of fuel. The advanced additive package also
progressively cleans up engine deposits and allows the engine to operate with
optimum efficiency. The dose rate of the diesel performance additive package is
at parts per million (ppm) level, resulting in an extremely low concentration of
Envirox™active at just five ppm.
Makitalo assured that no engine
modifications are required to use the product and it has no negative impact on
lubricant performance. “Just think how much pollution could be reduced if the
whole country were to cut its diesel consumption by more than 10% and diesel
emissions by 14%”, he added.
”We are very pleased to commercialise the
technology with such strong partners in the Philippine market, and I am sure
that this will open up further significant market opportunities in the near
future”, stated Ronen Hazarika, Cerulean International’s Asia Pacific Marketing
Director.
