KleenAir Receives Multi-Million Dollar Order for NOx Reduction Systems
IRVINE, Calif.--Feb. 25, 2003--KleenAir Systems Inc. (OTC BB:KAIR), has received the first tranche of a projected multi-million dollar order from DINEX A/S for its NOxMaster(R) NOx reduction systems, including both its patented ammonia injection systems as well as ServotTech's Ford licensed SOBRIS urea injection system.Initial retrofit systems sales are anticipated for a variety of bus models in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. DINEX will combine the KleenAir NOx reduction systems with the DINEX DPF particulate filter to achieve virtually complete elimination of both NOx and particulates. DINEX also plans to stock KleenAir's CarbonGuard(TM) thermal management system, which helps improve particulate filter and urea systems performance.
"By integrating KleenAir's SCR technology with our exhaust systems and particulate filters, we come closer to achieving our goal of complete emission solutions that will improve air quality and public health in the marketplaces to which we cater," said Lars Larsen, Technical Director of DINEX A/S.
DINEX has factories in Denmark and Latvia as well as sales and support operations in the United Kingdom, Germany, France Spain and Italy. They have many years experience in supplying high quality exhaust systems and silencers for heavy-duty and medium duty diesel powered vehicles such as buses, trucks, construction and off-road vehicles.
"Having been the first SCR system approved by the Energy Savings Trust and Public Carriage Office in the United Kingdom, this substantial commitment from DINEX launches us on the path to capturing significant market share in the burgeoning retrofit SCR market in Europe," said Lionel Simons, CEO of KleenAir Systems, "and will provide field experience and data useful to the launch of the system in the U.S. later this year after the EPA and CARB retrofit verification test programs are completed."
KleenAir has a unique computer controlled ammonia system, the NOxMaster(R), which, when ammonia is injected into the exhaust stream, interacts with NOx produced during combustion. The result converts environmentally hazardous NOx into harmless nitrogen and water. In addition, the Company's catalytic converters and particulate traps significantly reduce particulates as well as hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO).
