Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner Radically Reduces Carbon Monoxide in PetroEcuador Testing
Posted on: Monday, 7 January 2008, 12:00 CST
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ethos Environmental, Inc., (BULLETIN BOARD: ETEV) is pleased to announce that recent testing performed at PetroEcuador's Esmeraldas refinery has resulted in a more than 50 percent reduction in carbon monoxide emissions with the use of Ethos Environmental's Bunker Fuel Conditioner.
Testing was conducted and monitored by the Center for Technical and Technological Environmental Services, an independent testing agency. The analysis of the testing data complied with approved international standards.
The testing protocol consisted of the addition of Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner to the heavy fuel oil powering PetroEcuador's electrical generation plant at Esmeraldas. Lab reports concluded that Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner reduced carbon monoxide emissions from the power generation process by more than 50 percent; reductions in other toxic emissions, including a 6.94% reduction in nitros oxide (NOx), also occurred. Furthermore, use of the Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner improved the plant's fuel efficiency, requiring less fuel to generate the normal amount of energy.
Ethos CEO Enrique de Vilmorin, expressing pleasure with the PetroEcuador test results, stated, "[w]e're all very impressed with the results from the Esmeraldas protocol testing. I'll be returning to Ecuador in February - to complete some 2007 business, and also to sign supply contracts covering 2008 and 2009."
During 2007, Ethos sales to PetroEcuador and Petro-Industrial exceeded $9 million. Ethos anticipates continued usage of its products by PetroEcuador and Petro-Industrial during the immediate future and beyond.
PetroEcuador, the state-run oil company of Ecuador, has managed the exploration, commercialization and transportation of Ecuador's petroleum resources for more than 25 years. Each month Petro-Industrial - the power generating division of PetroEcuador - consumes 16,000,000 gallons of Heavy Fuel Oil No. 6, with annual revenues exceeding $6 billion.
By significantly reducing carbon monoxide emissions, Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner provides a valuable pro-environment solution for industries dependent on heavy fuel oil. When added in proper concentration, the components of Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner improve fuel stability and also increase engine performance by cleaning and maintaining the entire fuel system.
Like the Esmeraldas power generation plant, ships burning heavy fuel oil can also benefit from the use of Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner. The international marine shipping fleet is a major contributor to the world's greenhouse gas emissions, as recently reported in the Wall Street Journal (Danger at Sea: Ships Draw Fire for Rising Role in Air Pollution, Nov 27, 2007). With the use of Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner, the potential exists for significantly reducing these emissions.
Ethos Environmental, Inc., (ETEV) a San Diego-based corporation, is the manufacturer of award-winning fuel reformulator products that help industries meet environmental regulations and relieve skyrocketing fuel costs. Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner significantly reduces carbon monoxide when added to heavy fuel oil. For more information about Ethos Environmental, Inc., visit http://www.ethosfr.com/
