(CDT) (EBB:CDTI CDTI Centro Para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial (Spain) CDTI Cockpit Display of Traffic Information CDTI Common rail Diesel Turbo Injection CDTI Commercial Driver Training Institute (Pakistan) ) (AIM:CDT) (AIM:CDTS CDTS Continental Divide Trail Society CDTS Combat Development Tracking System CDTS Computer Directed Training System CDTS Clinic for Developmental Therapy Services CDTS Centralized Digital Telecommunications System ) announced today that it has been selected as a participant in two projects awarded funding by the state of Pennsylvania to retrofit diesel-powered equipment in that state. CDT will supply its EPA-verified Platinum Plus(R) Purifier system to fleet owners Waste Management Inc. and Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE CCE Cornell Cooperative Extension CCE Corporate and Continuing Education CCE Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. CCE Commission de Coopération Environnementale CCE Centre for Continuing Education CCE College of Continuing Education CCE Certified Computer Examiner ) in ground-breaking programs to retrofit over 140 refuse trucks, beverage delivery trucks and landfill equipment at several sites in Pennsylvania. The awards were announced Monday, May 24, 2004, by Nicholas DiPasquale, Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (often abbreviated PA DEP, or just DEP) is state agency in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.

"Emissions from diesel engines can be reduced by using clean fuels and by retrofitting engines with exhaust control technologies," DiPasquale said. "These grants will help companies and organizations purchase technology to lower emissions, especially particulate matter and hazardous air pollutants, coming from their fleets. The result is healthier air for all of us." The grant funds totaling approximately $335,000 will be used by CCE and Waste Management to purchase the Platinum Plus Purifier diesel oxidation catalyst as well as the Platinum Plus Fuel-Borne Catalyst (FBC). Used together, these two technologies reduce emissions both inside the engine and in the exhaust. CDT will install automatic dosing equipment to assure that the fuel used by the fleets is properly treated with the FBC. CCE and Waste Management will provide installation of the Purifiers on their vehicles as part of the overall program. "CDT has worked with CCE and Waste Management for over 18 months in several field trials and engine dynamometer tests to confirm the performance of the system and to support EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid.

EPA, n. and California Air Resources Board California Air Resources Board (CARB) is the "clean air agency" of the state of California in the United States. Established originally in 1967, it is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, an organization which reports directly to the California (CARB) verifications," said James Valentine, president of CDT. "This award will allow the first large-scale fleet demonstration of the EPA-verified Platinum Plus Purifier System, and further confirms it as a cost-effective retrofit solution for a wide range of diesel-powered equipment. Because diesels tend to last 10-15 years, clean-up of existing equipment is important in reducing emissions, especially in urban areas," Valentine added. The Platinum Plus Purifier System has been verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), independent agency of the U.S. government, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1970 to reduce and control air and water pollution, noise pollution, and radiation and to ensure the safe handling and under the rigorous Environmental Technology Verification program to reduce emissions on 1988-2002 model year on-road engines using FBC treated highway diesel fuel or FBC treated ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.
