Transcript BD 0938 Diesel Fuel Additive

BD 0938 Diesel Fuel Additive
A Unique New Product
Why is BD 0938 Unique
• BD 0938 uses the best available
technology to improve fuel performance
and reduce harmful exhaust emissions
– Cleans fuels systems
• Restoring system efficiency to designed levels
– Increases fuel quality
• Improves cetane value
– Improves combustion efficiency
• Catalysis of oxidation reaction
Improving Combustion Efficiency
• Catalyst system
– Reduces side reactions that can create
unwanted NOx and particulates
• Increases longevity of particulate filters
– Causes more complete burning of fuel
• Reduces hydrocarbon emissions
– Helps maximize energy output of fuel
combustion
• Leading to improved fuel economy
Testing
• Emissions and fuel economy tests
performed at Southwest Research Institute
– Pre-eminent testing facility in the United
States
– DD Series 60 diesel engine on test stand
– SAE J-1321 over-the-road test
– Independent verification
Southwest Research Institute Test
