Catalytic Solutions' ECS TermiNOx D Approved For U.S. EPA's Emerging Technology Program

Ventura, CA - Catalytic Solutions, Inc., the company behind Mixed Phase Catalyst (MPC) technology, announced that its ECS TermiNOx D selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for inclusion on the National Clean Diesel Campaign's Emerging Technologies List. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (stimulus bill) provides approximately $20M in new funding to support the use, development and commercialization of emerging technologies that reduce emissions from diesel engines.

TermiNOx D is a urea-based SCR system designed to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and non-EGR diesel engines. TermiNOx D, which incorporates the Company's SCR catalyst, earned placement on the Emerging Technologies List by meeting the requirements of the Diesel Emission Reduction Program Provisions under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. TermiNOx D, approved for use in the retrofit of 1998 through 2006 model year on-road heavy-duty diesel engines, reduces the emission of particulate matter by 25%, carbon monoxide by 85%, hydrocarbons by 85% and nitrogen oxides by 65%. TermiNOx D will remain on the Emerging Technologies List for one year with the possible extension of an additional year, during which time the Company will continue to work with the EPA and/or the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to complete the important verification process.
