Milestone Exceeded by dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology: Initial
PIT Group Test Results Show Emission Reductions – NOx Reduced by 46.1%
TORONTO,
ON--(Globe Newswire – September 21, 2017) - dynaCERT
Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DYA) (OTCQB: DYFSF) ("dynaCERT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce
initial results from independent PIT Group testing on our HG1 unit. The PIT
Group is perceived to be the transport industry gold standard testing
organization.
PIT Group report
states “The results are showing significant decreases in emission levels
between baseline and final measurements, of almost half for carbon monoxide
(CO), total hydrocarbons (THC), and for mono-nitrogen oxides (NOx).”
Testing
verified that the HydraGEN™ HG1 unit reduced emissions of CO by 48.1%, THC by
50.0%, and NOx by 46.1%, all of which exceeded our estimates. This points to dynaCERT’s HydraGEN™ Technology
providing a clear path to benefit our clients within the International Carbon
Economy (carbon credits).
World
governments along with engine manufacturers have been striving to achieve these
levels of reduction with limited results. Nerve agents such as nitrogen oxides
(NOx) are generated when diesel fuels are burned, and they are not only affecting
human health, but also destroy the earth's atmosphere more as compared to
carbon dioxide (CO2).
The test
vehicle was a 2014 International Prostar unit with Cummins ISX15 engine rated
at 336 kW (450hp) @ 1800 rpm. It had an Eaton Fuller 18-speed transmission
connected to a MT40-14X*D differential. Tests were performed at the Transport
Canada Motor Vehicle Test Centre located at 100 rue du Landais, Blainville
(QC), Canada, J7C 5C9, which is presently operated by PMG Technologies. The
tests were conducted on the BRAVO high-speed test track, a high-banked,
parabolic oval, with the length of 6.66 km (4.15 miles). The emission
measurements were performed on the ALPHA low-speed test track, a parabolic oval
with the length of 6.88 km (4.28 miles). The testing program was based
respectively on the TMC Fuel Consumption Test Procedure – Type II, RP 1102A
(TMC 2016a), and CFR (Code of Federal Regulation), Title 40 Part 1065, Engine
Testing Procedures, Part 1065 - Subpart J PEMS Testing (CFR 2008). The
originally planned SAE J1321 Type II test was changed to the protocols above
(i.e. TMC and CFR) due to inclement weather on the first day of the test. The
TMC protocol allows for inclement weather whereas the SAE protocol does not.
While the
truck was operated for 36 days, this operation was not continuous as had been
planned in order to decarbonize the engine with the HG1 unit. As a consequence,
the test engine did not meet the necessary planned break-in requirements for
achieving expected fuel efficiency, but such break-in is not required to
realize emission reductions.
In
consultation with the PIT Group, it was mutually agreed that the testing for
fuel consumption would continue for an additional 4-6 weeks on this exact test
truck in order for the engine to reach the break-in threshold requirements.
Jim
Payne, President & CEO of dynaCERT,
states, “The reduction of NOx by 46.1% exceeded our expectations and further
solidifies the potential for dynaCERT’s
technology to change the world. NOx is one of the deadliest gases emitted from
diesel engines and one of the most elusive challenges to rectify. United
Nations, World Governments and engine manufacturers having been striving to
achieve these levels of reduction.”
