RxP Products Announces Combustion Technology Reduces Oxides Of Nitrogen Emissions In Biodiesel

Supreme Oil Chosen to Market Technology

FLORIDA, ST. PETERSBURG, Jun. 26 -/E-Wire/-- RxP Products, Inc. (http://www.rxp.com) President Don Woodward announced today that Arizona-based Supreme Oil has been chosen to market technology used to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from biodiesel.

Tests conducted June 13, 2001 on a boiler at St. Mary's Medical Center in Long Beach by World Environmental, a laboratory approved by the South Coast Air Quality Management District, showed a significant decrease in CO and NOx emissions when biodiesel treated with an additive supplied by RxP was used.

"The allowable limits were 40 parts per million (ppm) of NOx and 400 ppm of CO," said Chris Sellars, a representative from Supreme Oil's Long Beach, California office who was present for the tests.

"The CO readings were seventy-four percent (74%) below the requirements and the NOx readings were thirty percent (30%) under," said Sellars. "This boidiesel blend also surpassed earlier results on natural gas."

"We assume many people from the biodiesel industry will be interested in this technology," says Woodward. "Although biodiesel is a much cleaner burning fuel than petrodiesel, sales of this new alternative fuel have been hampered by the NOx problem."

Woodward maintains the addition of this technology to biodiesel will not significantly impact the selling price of biodiesel.

"We presently sell additives for gasoline and diesel engines through leading retailers like Wal-Mart and AutoZone Auto Parts Stores," says Woodward. "Our technology has been field-tested by hundreds of thousands of real users over millions of miles of normal driving conditions. We also supply products used in locomotive and marine engines. Our technology works in all hydrocarbon combustion."

"We will have our skeptics, and should," says Woodward, "and we expect testing to be an ongoing and day-to-day activity in this field of study. But to my knowledge, we have the only technology around that will reduce NOx and CO emissions in biodiesel. Others are welcomed to try."
