EPA Certifies ESW XtrmCat™ for 2 Stroke Marine Applications

Concord, ON - August 23, 2011 -  Environmental Solutions Worldwide Inc. (OTCQB: ESWW) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange FWB: EOW) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary ESW Canada Inc. (“ESWC”) received notification from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that the Company’s XtrmCat™ Kit is now certified for 2 stroke, Category 2 Marine engines. The issuance of the ‘remanufacturing certificate’ is a significant milestone for the Company as it validates the DOC technology for the marine market sector.

The Certifications are applicable to EMD 710 and 645 engines. The XtrmCat™ can achieve Tier 0 and Tier I compliance as per 40 CFR 1042 when retrofitted to EMD 710 and 645 engines. During the emission test program at an independent EPA approved test facility, the XtrmCat™ Kit exceeded the minimum regulatory requirements with significant margins throughout the complete test program. In particular, the Particulate Matter (PM) reduction efficiency noted total reductions of up to 46%.  

The XtrmCat™ certifications have meaningful benefits to the end user, as the kit can be deployed without the need to remanufacture the engine, resulting in significant cost savings. Additionally, the technology is maintenance free and cost effective. The application design considerations are based on ‘real life’ examples performed alongside with Ingram Barge Company to ensure that vessels can be operated without negative impact on fuel economy and safety; bringing the regulatory requirements and industry needs together in a meaningful way. 

The Certifications are a meaningful addition to the companies product lines of CARB verified diesel particulate filters, applicable to on-road and off-road applications.

Mark Yung, ESW’s Chairman of the Board of Directors stated, “Today’s announcement speaks volumes about ESW’s ability to develop market leading emission catalytic solutions that meet stringent EPA standards. This set of EPA certificates for ESW Canada helps broaden our markets into the attractive marine sector and solidifies ESW’s position in the growing diesel retrofit market. ”
