Ethos Environmental, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ETEV) is proud to announce that the results of recent testing performed at PetroEcuador’s Esmeraldas refinery showed more than a 50% reduction in carbon monoxide emissions with the use of Ethos Environmentals’ Bunker Fuel Conditioner. The test was conducted and monitored by the Center for Technical and Technological Environmental Services, an independent testing agency. The analysis of the testing data complied with approved international standards.
Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner was added to the heavy fuel oil powering PetroEcuador’s electrical generator plant at Esmeraldas. As well as reducing carbon monoxide emissions, there was a 6.94% reduction in nitros oxide (NOx) and improvement in the plant’s fuel efficiency by requiring less fuel to generate the normal amount of energy. By significantly reducing carbon monoxide emissions, Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner provides a valuable environment friendly solution for industries dependent on heavy fuel oil.
Enrique de Vilmorin, CEO of Ethos, expressed his pleasure with the test results, “we’re all very impressed with the results from the Esmeraldas protocol testing. I’ll be returning to Ecuador in February to complete some 2007 business, and also to sign supply contracts covering 2008 and 2009.”
This is a big announcement that can have a positive effect on ships burning heavy fuel oil. The International Marine Shipping Fleet is a major contributor to the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, reported by the Wall Street Journal “Danger at Sea: Ships Draw Fire for Rising Role in Air Pollution”, Nov. 27, 2007. By using Ethos Bunker Fuel Conditioner there can be a dramatic decrease in these emissions.
PetroEcuador, a state-run oil company of Ecuador, has overlooked the exploration, commercialization and transportation of Ecuador’s petroleum resources for over twenty-five years. In 2007, Ethos sales to PetroEcuador and Petro-Industrial exceeded $9 million. Ethos anticipates continued usage of its products by PetroEcuador and Petro-Industrial during the New Year and in the prolonged future.
