Clean Diesel Technologies Ships First Commercial Prototype of Advanced NOx Reduction System For Diesels; Receives Orders For Three More Systems.STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 1, 1998--Clean Diesel Technologies Inc. (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) ) Tuesday announced that it has shipped the first commercial prototype of its ARIS ARIS American Religious Identification Survey ARIS Architecture of Integrated Information Systems ARIS Active Rack Isolation System ARIS Aggregate Route-based IP Switching ARIS Agentia Romana pentru Investitii Straine (TM) 2000 diesel NOx reduction system to a major U.S. engine manufacturer for testing and evaluation. Orders for three additional systems have also been received from a second U.S. manufacturer of heavy-duty diesel engines. The ARIS 2000 is an advanced reagent injection system used to accurately control and inject urea-based reagents into the exhaust gas Exhaust gas is flue gas which occurs as a result of the combustion of fuels such as natural gas, gasoline/petrol, diesel, fuel oil or coal. It is discharged into the atmosphere through an exhaust pipe or flue gas stack. stream of diesel engines. The urea decomposes and reacts across a catalyst to reduce NOx by as much as 90 percent.

James M. Valentine commented, "These commercial prototypes are being used by engine manufacturers to evaluate the performance and design philosophy of our system, and we expect that evaluation to be followed by second-stage field trials and durability tests." The ARIS 2000 is composed of an advanced injector as well as a pump, controls and an optional computer to regulate reagent flow based on engine output signals. The ARIS 2000 has been designed to be applicable to both stationary and mobile diesels, on new and existing engines. "Engine manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. ways to maximize fuel economy and minimize NOx and particulates and meet more stringent emission limits for new engines in the period of 2000-2005," Valentine said. "At the same time, EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA abbr. eicosapentaenoic acid EPA, n.pr See acid, eicosapentaenoic. EPA, n. has recently charged engine manufacturers with high off-cycle emissions of NOx. Federal and State authorities are looking for cost-effective solutions to reduce NOx from the existing fleet of vehicles to help achieve state and local air quality standards. End users are looking for systems which improve fuel economy while cost effectively lowering emissions. We believe the ARIS 2000 meets the needs of these various stakeholders." CDT anticipates working with engine manufacturers, catalyst companies and engine distributors and service centers to supply the ARIS 2000 System. The company recently announced an agreement with AMBAC AMBAC American Municipal Bond Assurance Corporation AMBAC Active Mass Balance Auto-Control (Gundam anime) International for the manufacture of the proprietary injector and has an agreement in principle with Fuel Tech Inc. on the supply of branded NOxOUT(R) 3200 reagent to end users through Fuel Tech's network of licensed reagent suppliers.
