Presentation Outline Air pollution from transportation Health effects of air pollution Mobile source emission testing Emission reduction technologies Tadgers’ contribution to emission reductions
Air Pollution & The Transportation Industry Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in Canada. 2/3 of the carbon monoxide in our atmosphere 1/3 of the nitrogen oxides in our atmosphere 1/4 of the hydrocarbons in our atmosphere
Air Pollution & The Transportation Industry Emissions from cars are the leading cause of: Climate Change – Predominantly C02 emissions Even though vehicles today pollute less the emissions are growing faster than emissions from any other sector Transportation accounts for approx. 30% of the GHG in Canada Light duty vehicles account for 11.7% and trucks account for 8.3% of the GHG emissions in Canada
Air Pollution & The Transportation Industry Emissions from cars are the leading cause of: 2. Urban Smog Result of organic compounds and nitrogen oxide react with warm temperatures and sunlight It is estimated that smog reduction in Canada’s major cities would result in a $10 billion annual savings
Air Pollution & The Transportation Industry Emissions from cars are the leading cause of: 3. Acid Rain Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are converted in the air to sulphuric acid and nitric acid Poisons the lakes and rivers, changes the soil chemistry and damages vegetation 30,000 lakes are vulnerable and more than 14,000 have already acidified and can only support primitive life form
Health Effects of Air Pollution 1900 people die annually in Ontario from breathing poisoned air Cost to taxpayers in Ontario is $1 billion annually Diesel fumes increase the risk of cancer The number of smog alert days has increased over the last 10 years
Health Effects of Air Pollution Niagara Case Study 85 people die prematurely every year as a result of exposure to air pollution compared to 6 homicides and 26 traffic related fatalities The direct cost to the taxpayer is $25 million annually in health care costs and $20 million in lost wages and production The number of smog alert days has increased from 1 day in 1993 to a record 21 days in 2002
Mobile Source Emissions Testing Ontario Drive Clean Program Ontario’s new 2004 standards for HDV are the strictest in North America Annual and Bi-annual testing for all vehicles Periodic testing and roadside inspection New standards offer incentives for better maintenance and exceeding the requirements
Mobile Source Emissions Testing Light Duty Vehicle Testing ASM 2525 Tailpipe Emission Testing - 40 km/hr and Curb Idle Gases tested: HC (ppm), CO (%) & NO (ppm) Bi-annual testing with limits that are calculated by year and type of engine
Mobile Source Emissions Testing Heavy Duty Vehicle Testing SAE J1667 Snap Acceleration Test Gases tested: Opacity – The amount of light that can be blocked by Particulate Matter (PM) in the exhaust emissions Annual testing with limits based on the year of the engine. Incentives for bi-annual testing if requirements exceeded
Emission Reduction Technologies Three typical technologies: 1. Post combustion 2. Additives 3. Pre combustion
Emission Reduction Technologies Post Combustion Typically diesel applications only Oxidation Catalyst Diesel Particulate Filter Selective Catalytic Reduction Selection based on type of contaminant needed to be reduced Slight increase in fuel efficiency thus increasing CO2
Emission Reduction Technologies Additives Diesel and Gasoline applications Fuel additives Hydrogen Oil additives Selection based on type of contaminant needed to be reduced Continual expense
Emission Reduction Technologies Pre Combustion Diesel and Gasoline applications Magnets Catalysts TADGER Typically all types of contaminants reduced Fuel efficiency improvements provide an R.O.I.
HOW IT WORKS The Tadger creates a controlled turbulence through a fixed geometric configuration. This turbulence conditions the fuel to allow it to burn more efficiently. It is installed like an in-line fuel filter on the input fuel line. Typical Installations…
Applications
What to expect Reduced black smoke & soot (PM) Even the heavy carbon buildups on paint Less maintenance required on side of vehicle, here is dramatic proof…
Independent Government Testing Ontario Drive Clean is operated by the Province to ensure enhanced vehicle engine performance through reduced emissions. Emission inspections are performed under SAE J1667 Snap Acceleration Test for diesel and ASM 2525 for gas. Here is an example of several tests by the Province of Ontario Drive Clean Program showing reductions…
WHAT TO EXPECT ? Lower Toxic Emissions The following charts represent a sampling of results in underground operations & public transit. As you can see significant reductions are noted in Carbon Monoxide and NOx levels.
Oil Analysis Tadger has been tested by Independent third party laboratories to provide analysis of oil samples. Proven that Tadger keeps oil cleaner longer. Reduces soot in oil while reducing wear elements.
Return on Investment Mileage Improvements Through better utilization of detonated fuel/air mixture we enhance mileage. The result is a reduction in C02 Here is an example of clients experiencing a return on investment…
Bio Diesel Fuels Tadger works in tandem with Bio Diesel! Actually improves results of Bio Diesel! Here’s proof of Tadger’s additional benefit…
