Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. Receives CARB Level II Executive Order for its Particular ReactorTM Diesel Catalyst
In September 2004, Environmental Solutions Worldwide received its first Level II California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order for its proprietary advanced Diesel Catalyst branded Particulate ReactorTM. It was a milestone in the company's history.
The California ARB verification covers specific diesel engine models from the 1991 through 1993 model years used in on-road applications operating on standard CARB diesel fuel. The Particulate ReactorTM system employs a catalyzed wire mesh substrate to achieve at least a 50 percent reduction in particulate matter emissions, qualifying it for Level II verification.
With the success of obtaining this CARB Verification, ESW has become the first catalytic substrate manufacturer and catalyst coating company in North America to verify a metallic wire mesh substrate based catalytic converter system as a passive stand alone Level II diesel retrofit replacement device. This verification was achieved while using standard CARB fuel found at local service stations. To date, no other catalyst manufacturer has received this status without the usage of secondary technologies.
This Executive Order is the first for a high performing advanced Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). Traditional DOC's have been verified at Level I Particulate Matter (PM) reductions (25% or greater). The increased performance provided by ESW's Particulate ReactorTM results from advanced coating technology and the torturous path gas flow created by the unique substrate design. The ESW substrate creates high catalytic surface area contact with the exhaust, which in turn provides Level II PM reductions (50% or greater).
As with all of ESW's catalyst substrates, the Particulate ReactorTM also has versatile design and packaging flexibility since it can be produced in a multitude of shapes and sizes while maintaining required catalyst volumes.
