Biofriendly to Conduct New Test for Texas Low Emission Diesel; Current Test Showed 10.1% Reduction in NOx.


COVINA, Calif. -- Biofriendly Corporation announced today that it will conduct a new test to meet the requirements of the Texas Low Emission Diesel program (TxLED).

Biofriendly had recently submitted official test results of its Green Plus(R) liquid fuel combustion catalyst that showed significant reductions in NOx. These results showed NOx reductions of 10.1%; which brought that emission to levels better than required under the TxLED rules. All of the other emissions (Particulate Matter particulate matter

 specification of the test engine.

However, due to a substantial increase in humidity during the testing as well as some other factors, the Particulate Matter (PM) results showed an increase over the reference fuel. This caused concern during the review process in spite of the fact that the PM was below the original specification for the test engine. Although there are industry accepted correction factors that Biofriendly believes would bring the PM results in line with the TxLED rule, there is currently no allowance for humidity correction in the TxLED rules. Therefore, Biofriendly has decided to conduct another test where these issues will not be a factor.

"Our recent test, which was the fourth official test completed for the State of Texas, showed a significant reduction of the most important emission, the smog-forming Nitrogen Oxides Noun 1. nitrogen oxide - any of several oxides of nitrogen formed by the action of nitric acid on oxidizable materials; present in car exhausts

"We are confident our follow-up test, which we plan to conduct immediately, will produce an unequivocal result."
