Update re bioMSAR Testing at Aquafuel Research Ltd
Quadrise (AIM:QFI), the supplier of MSAR(R) and bioMSAR(TM)
emulsion technology and fuels, is pleased to confirm the results of
the latest bioMSAR(TM) testing at Aquafuel Research Ltd's
("Aquafuel") UK test facility .
The results relate to further engine optimisation testing of
bioMSAR(TM), conducted on the Company's Cummins high-speed 4-stroke
diesel engine generating set, to allow accurate performance
monitoring, optimisation and measurements to be made. They follow
the initial testing at Aquafuel, the results of which were
published by the Company on 1 February 2021.
During 2021 the engine was modified to allow injection timing to
be advanced and performance to be monitored more accurately. These
enhancements provided the ability to assess and optimise engine
efficiency and emissions whilst using bioMSAR(TM) and other
fuels.
Initial baseline runs under the latest testing were undertaken
to ensure prior bioMSAR(TM) performance results were repeatable.
These confirmed previously announced engine efficiency benefits of
3% and reductions of Nitrogen Oxide ("NOx") emissions of over 20%
in comparison to diesel fuel.
The next phase of testing now completed has demonstrated that by
advancing injection timing, engine efficiency can be increased by
over 13%, thereby further reducing fuel consumption and carbon
dioxide ("CO(2) ") emissions.
Ordinarily, higher engine efficiencies result in increased
combustion temperatures and NOx emissions. However, of particular
note, the latest tests at Aquafuel have confirmed that it was
possible with bioMSAR(TM) to reduce the inlet air temperature to
the same level as diesel. This resulted in NOx levels being further
reduced by over 30%, some 45% lower than diesel fuel.
These latest tests have therefore shown that much higher diesel
engine efficiency can be achieved with bioMSAR(TM), without
increasing NOx emissions. Further tests are being planned with
Aquafuel during the year to focus on fully defining efficiency and
emissions optimisation settings.
Jason Miles, CEO of Quadrise, said:
"We are pleased to obtain these outstanding results for
bioMSAR(TM), providing further technical endorsement of the
potential of the fuel. The higher engine efficiency and lower
emissions evidenced by Aquafuel's testing are highly attractive
features for all future clients of bioMSAR(TM), particularly those
with ambitious decarbonisation targets. These results support our
plans for larger-scale bioMSAR(TM) testing this year, and
ultimately commercialisation."
