Energenics Announce Enercat Fuel Additive Trial Success
By Prne, Gaea News NetworkMonday, March 23, 2009
SINGAPORE - Energenics Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energenics
Holdings Pte Ltd, announced today that it’s Enercat fuel borne catalyst has
demonstrated fuel efficiency savings of 8-10% on a mixed fleet of diesel
vehicles in Italy.
The product was tested in a variety of vehicles from light duty, through
medium and heavy duty trucks, utilising a proprietary formulation that also
combines the multiple particle effects of Energenics’ present cerium oxide
particles, which are supplied to Energenics under an exclusive supply
agreement with Antaria Limited of Perth Australia, with the properties of
Cerion Energy’s new cerium oxide particles.
Ronen Hazarika, Energenics CEO said, “I am very happy that we
have been able to achieve this spectacular result from the usage of Enercat.
The formulation of Cerium Oxide fuel borne catalyst was tuned using our
strategic partner’s proprietary Lattice Engineering process to obtain the
catalytic performance required for the diesel supplied and the end user
application. The formulation is already being sold at retail fuel
distribution points in Italy and further expansion into this sector is well
advanced.”
“This result bodes well for the pipeline of new customers in
the UK and Europe that have expressed interest in using the 3rd generation
nanocatalyst technology. This trial result is also in line with the benefits
being demonstrated in trials conducted by our strategic partner Cerion Energy
& Cerion Gulf in the Southeast United States. We fully expect that those
trials will also lead to an early adoption of the product in the not too
distant future.”
Energenics has committed extensively to the European market
supported by a major advertising & marketing campaign executed through the
trade press in Europe.
Stefano Livi, CEO of Creuros, said: “I am so pleased that the
EnerCat 3rd generation nanocatalyst has worked well for our customers. Not
only have they benefited from substantial fuel efficiency but also a 30%
minimum improvement in black smoke emissions within a short period of using
the product.”
“This result has vindicated my decision to move away from
Oxonica PLC’s Envirox fuel additive technology, which had mixed results for
us. In the trials that we conducted that did work, the Envirox product only
yielded an average of 4% fuel efficiency and minor smoke emission reductions
according to the customer data. The Enercat 3rd generation technology clearly
is a major advancement in fuel additive technology and I’m delighted to be
using it.”
Energenics & Cerion Energy recently announced that they had
pooled their R&D expertise to jointly develop a family of “Third-Generation”
fuel-borne combustion catalysts which increase fuel efficiency while reducing
harmful greenhouse gas emissions and health-threatening chemicals such as NOx
and Diesel Particulate Matter.
