Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc: Secures 50 unit order for Level II Diesel Particulate Reactor for New York City Department of Sanitation
Wednesday January 12, 10:00 am ET
TELFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 12, 2005--Environmental Solutions Worldwide, Inc. (ESW) (OTCBB:ESWW - News) announced today that the Company's proprietary Level II diesel Particulate Reactor(TM), has been selected for an advanced retrofit initiative with the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) and Clean Air Communities in Queens, NY.
The initiative, sponsored by the Queens Clean Air Project, a venture of Clean Air Communities established in 2003 that works toward cleaner air and more efficient energy in Queens neighborhoods, involves close coordination with ESW's North American retrofit distribution partner, Fleetguard Emissions Solutions (FES). Fifty (50) heavy duty catalytic converter mufflers will be installed onto waste hauler trucks (Model Year 2000 and newer) serving Sanitation Districts 1 and 3 in northwest Queens, New York. The ESW advanced catalyst product was selected due to its high particulate removal efficiency, overall emissions performance capability, maintenance-free design, and the catalyst's ability to work synergistically with ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.
ESW's catalyzed Particulate Reactor(TM) substrates will be intergraded into custom designed catalyst/muffler housings by FES, creating the finished product. The completed units will be installed as direct fit replacements to the trucks existing Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) mufflers in the original muffler location.
Amy Boerger, Fleetguard Emission Solutions(TM) Retrofit Leader commented, "We are excited to work with ESW on our largest Particulate Reactor(TM) order to date. This marks the first step of our business relationship for similar orders in the Refuse Sector and other on and off road markets in scope and size moving forward."
ESW's proprietary catalyst technology, the Particulate Reactor(TM), employs a catalyzed wire mesh substrate to achieve a minimum of 50 percent reduction in Particulate Matter (PM) emissions, qualifying it for CARB Level II verification. The Particulate Reactor(TM) benefits from the torturous path gas flow created by the unique substrate design, whereby high catalytic surface area optimizes contact with the exhaust gases, providing Level II PM removal efficiency (50% or greater).
In September of 2004 ESW's Particulate Reactor(TM) became the first stand alone high efficiency diesel oxidation catalyst to be verified as a CARB Level II device. To date, no other catalyst manufacturer has received this status without the aid of secondary technologies, such as fuel modifications. arb.ca.gov
Mr. David Johnson, ESW's President and CEO commented, "It's an honor to be selected as the catalyst supplier for yet another prestigious catalyst application in New York. I consider these programs to be an important and essential part of the Company's future, and we continue to work diligently towards these specific and other global retrofit opportunities. High profile applications such as DSNY have the potential to attract new customers and bring market awareness to our unique catalytic solutions. Moving forward, I believe ESW will play an important role in helping to improve the quality of the air in New York by helping to reduce diesel engine emissions."
In June of 2004, ESW announced that it provided catalysts for the tower cranes responsible for rebuilding Seven World Trade Center site in New York. This high profile project was also performed with the collaboration of FES and New York distributor Cummins MetroPower.
