Environmental Benefits of mXt Technology

All of our products will reduce your carbon foot print, drastically reduce smog forming pollutants, soot and fly ash. The benefits of these reductions will be felt in air quality and inside any combustion engine that uses our products. Indirectly, in urban areas, widespread use of our products or adoption by large organisations may lead to reduced incidences of air pollution related health issues.

The major harmful emissions from diesel engines are similar to those from other internal combustion engines; without Clear mXt the following are commonly produced:

Soot or Particulate Matter
Composed of pure carbon clusters and clustered organic carbon. The effects of inhaling particulate matter have been widely studied in humans and animals. These include asthma, lung cancer, cardiovascular issues, and premature death. Because of the size of the particles, they can penetrate the deepest part of the lungs.
Carbon monoxide (CO)
This is generated in the exhaust as the result of incomplete combustion of fuel. CO is a very toxic, colourless and odourless gas. LPG emissions, in particular, may contain considerable amounts of CO. When engines operate in enclosed spaces, such as warehouses, buildings under construction, or tunnels, carbon monoxide can accumulate quickly and reach concentration levels which are dangerous for humans.
Hydrocarbons (HC)
These are also a product of incomplete combustion of fuel. LPG emissions, because of the composition of fuel, contain only short chain hydrocarbons. They are not likely to contain toxic components which are found in gasoline HC emissions. Also, the environmental impact of LPG hydrocarbon emissions (ozone reactivity contributing to smog) is much smaller than that of gasoline. However, hydrocarbon derivatives are responsible for LPG’s characteristic smell which is often a nuisance when LPG engines operate indoors.
Nitrogen oxides
These are generated from nitrogen and oxygen under the high temperature and pressure conditions in the engine cylinder. NOx consists mostly of nitric oxide (NO) and some nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Nitrogen dioxide is a reactive gas, very toxic for humans. Accumulation of NOx in a warehouse atmosphere may also be detrimental for the stored goods. For example, only a few parts per million (ppm) of NOx in the ambient air can change the colour of paper stock from white to yellowish. NOx emissions are also a serious environmental concern because of their ozone reactivity and important role in smog formation.

Our Diesel Catalyst Clear mXt

All smog forming, NOx SOx CO and particulate matter in diesel fumes are all reduced significantly using our diesel fuel product; up to 96% reduction in particulate matter, 12 % reduction in NO, 6% for NO2 and 20% for CO.

NO and NO2 are known to be toxic and significant contributors to smog. Emissions control systems in trucking concentrate on eliminating these pollutants; the systems that eliminate these substances have their own issues, apart from the extra cost.

Small particles or soot in diesel fumes are commonly called PM (particulate matter), these are reduced by up to 95% by our products. PM has been shown to be a significant contributor to various ailments, climate change, smog and even localised weather events such as hail storms.

Our Liquid Catalyst for Fuel Oil (mXt9)

Fuel oil is primarily used in shipping and heavy industry or large boilers. The benefits for the environment are significant reductions in ash, soot and harmful emissions. Indirectly, these benefits flow on to the engines, boilers and exhaust systems. Less particles mean lower maintenance and longer life for components.

Solid Catalysts for Coal and Gas (XPlate)

A carbon footprint is almost directly linked to the consumption of fuels; this means that if you use 5% less fuel because of our products your carbon footprint is 5% less.

The benefits in terms of other pollutants will be apparent after a trial period with XPlate and can only be quoted on an individual basis, but we can say that all products of incomplete combustion will be greatly reduced incluiding fine particles, fly ash and gas pollution is impacted by XPlate with reference to coal.

In terms of gas, the reduction in unburnt fuel will reduce fuel escaping into the atmosphere and, additionally, CO NOx and some other pollutants due to more complete oxidation of the base fuel.
