Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc: California Air Resources Board (CARB) Extends Horsepower Range on ThermaCat™ Off-Road Diesel Engine Emission Reduction Technology
CONCORD, Ontario-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada Inc. has received notification from CARB that its proprietary ThermaCat™ Active Level III Plus diesel engine emission reduction technology has been extended to include up to 350 horsepower (hp), 15.2 liter off-road diesel engines as per Executive Order (EO) DE-09-010-01.
With the CARB extended EO(1.), the ThermaCat™ System now covers off-road diesel engines model years 1996 to 2009 between 175 to 350 hp and 5 to 15.2 Liter displacement, excluding those that are equipped with exhaust gas recirculation systems. The EO permits the ThermaCat™ to be applied to over 1100 engine families encompassing in excess of 3000 individual engines manufactured by Caterpillar, Cummins, John Deere and various other Original Equipment Manufacturers.
The ThermaCat™ Active Level III Plus System is designed to monitor engine exhaust temperature and pressure and determines when the required conditions are met to create a diesel fuel based exothermic temperature increase into the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). This repeated, controlled process of regenerating the collected Particulate Matter (PM) stored in the DPF in real-time engine / equipment operation lowers the exhaust system backpressure. By doing so, the ThermaCat™ maintains emissions reductions in cold or inconsistent duty cycle applications without the need for operator interface, expensive equipment downtime or daily maintenance intervals. This unique approach gives the ThermaCat™ Active Level III Plus catalyst System a very large potential cross section and demographic of applications.
“David J. Johnson, ESW's President and CEO remarked. “The off-road market represents a major sales opportunity for our North American dealer / distributors. This timely extension will enable our company to take advantage of the most recent funding from CARB to mitigate air quality issues at the California Ports. With the larger engine demographic available, our sales network is now able to more effectively service their customers in this regulated off-road market. .”
