CCA Books Orders for 18 new SCR systems on Diesel Trucks |
SCR units to enable Diesel Trucks in New York and Southern California meet compliance levels |
MONROE, CONNECTICUT, Aug. 12 -/E-Wire/--
Combustion Components Associates (CCA), a company that develops, manufactures and markets air pollution control technologies announced today the receipt of contracts for its ELIM-NOx SCR system on 6 diesel trucks in the New York Metropolitan Area and 12 off-road construction trucks in Southern California. The orders exceeding $400,000 represent the first large commercial contract for ELIM-NOx since it was commercialized for retrofit on existing on-road and off-road diesel applications and new trucks in early 2004. CCA's ELIM-NOx SCR technology is designed to achieve 90% NOx reduction while overcoming any fuel economy penalties. Additionally, vehicles need not use ultra low sulfur diesel fuel oil with this technology.
|
Making the announcement, R. Gifford Broderick, President, CCA said "The new orders confirm the commercial viability of the ELIM-NOx system on both on-road and off-road diesel trucks as a low-cost, high-efficiency technology. Our low-NOx technology is designed to help bring diesel truck engines into compliance with new EPA regulations, which require a 50% to 90% reduction in NOx, phased-in between 2007 and 2010". With more than 600,000 new diesel trucks produced annually and 4 million existing trucks operating in various ozone non-attainment regions, the ELIM-NOx technology represents a huge low-cost incentive for diesel OEMs and fleet-owners for emission compliance.
|
The ELIM-NOx system works on the principle of Selective Catalytic Reduction using urea - a safe and non-hazardous reagent. In addition to its cost-effectiveness, performance efficiencies, fuel economy and simplified controls, a unique feature of the technology is the proprietary 'self-learn' monitoring system. This 'self-learn' system uses sensors to measure NOx, exhaust temperature and record various engine parameters. It is temporarily mounted on the diesel truck for recording data as the vehicle operates in its normal driving conditions. The function is ideal for fleets that have identical vehicles, since the data from one vehicle can be utilized across the fleet resulting in high operating efficiencies.
|
Leveraging years of field expertise with power boilers and stationary engines, CCA has developed variants of its ELIM-NOx SCR technology control process with improved injector design and has filed two patents. These patent pending technologies are designed to extend product durability, improve urea utilization and facilitate greater NOx reductions from diesel trucks.
