Environmental Control Corporation Announces Conclusion of Testing of Catalytic Muffler at Environment Canada.VANCOUVER, British Columbia British Columbia, province (2001 pop. 3,907,738), 366,255 sq mi (948,600 sq km), including 6,976 sq mi (18,068 sq km) of water surface, W Canada. Geography -- Environmental Control Corporation ("ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. ") (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :EVCC EVCC East Valley Children's Center (Tempe, AZ) ) is pleased to announce that testing has concluded at Environment Canada's Emissions Research and Measurement Division (ERMD ERMD Emissions Research and Measurement Division (Environmental Technology Centre unit, Canada) ERMD Engineer Resources Management Division ) in Ottawa, Ontario. The preliminary, non-official report has been released, and the management at ECC are pleased with the results thus far. The preliminary report indicates that ECC's catalytic muffler muffler, in automobiles, device designed to reduce the noise from the exhaust of an internal-combustion engine. When the exhaust gases from an internal-combustion engine are released directly into the atmosphere, they create a loud noise, caused by the passage of the reduced emissions of Total Hydrocarbons + Oxides of Nitrogen by 98.9% on a two-stroke engine. ECC's catalytic muffler was fitted to a two-stroke 185cc class 1 non-handheld engine provided by a multi-national corporation. A six-mode test (in accordance with US EPA US EPA United States Environmental Protection Agency and CARB regulations) using 20LPM (Lines Per Minute) The number of lines a printer can print or a scanner can scan in a minute. lpm - lines per minute of air injection in the catalyst was conducted by officials at Environment Canada Environment Canada (EC), legally incorporated as the Department of the Environment under the Department of the Environment Act ( R.S., 1985, c. E-10 ), is the department of the Government of Canada with responsibility for coordinating environmental policies and , and the preliminary (non-official) report showed the following emission reductions in comparison with the Original Engine Manufactured (OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and ) muffler:
Emissions OEM Standard ECC Catalytic Reduction
Muffler Muffler
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total CO (g/kw-hr) 834 216 75.6%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Nox (g/kw-hr) 0.35 0.23 34.3%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total HC (g/kw-hr) 253.6 2.5 99.0%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total HC + Nox (g/kw-hr) 253.9 2.72 98.9%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2008 emission standards for this class of engine as set by CARB and the US EPA are 610 g/kw-hr, and 16.1 g/kw-hr for CO and Total HC+ NOx respectively meaning that ECC appears to have exceeded the upcoming emission standards for certification. Glenn Knight Glenn Jeyasingam Knight (born in 1945) is a Singaporean lawyer. He was the first Director of the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD)[1] when it was founded in 1984.[2] He lost his post in 1991 after being convicted of corruption in a much-publicised trial. , Chief Scientific Officer of ECC, says, "To achieve such promising reductions on this dirty two-stroke engine is very encouraging. We anticipate achieving similar reductions on four-stroke engines." ECC must now undergo additional testing to prove the durability of the catalytic muffler (demonstrating that the unit can withstand the estimated useful life of the engine while staying within the above emission parameters). Pending proof of durability, ECC will become the first company to ever achieve certification of this engine. The durability test is expected to take place towards the end of June or early July. "This latest test represents the endorsement that ECC requires to aggressively move forward in its marketing plan to solidify prospective revenue relationships with a host of suitors." -- Terence Mugford, Chief Operations Officer of ECC. The official technical report is currently being prepared by Environment Canada's ERMD, and will be made available to interested parties within the next three weeks. Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements This news release contains "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements in this press release, which are not purely historical, are forward-looking statements and include any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, the final results for the report on the testing of the two-stroke engine, any future ability to exceed emission standards for certification, any emission reductions in four-stroke engines, durability of the catalytic muffler, and achieving eventual certification for the two-stroke engine. Actual results could differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to numerous factors. Such factors include, among others, the inherent uncertainties associated with the development of an early stage company in the emissions control Emissions control may refer to:
