SACRAMENTO – ProTec International, a member of the World Trade Center Sacramento, received a grant award from the EEC/NASDA Latin America Fund for the Environment.

For its first year, the Fund supported 17 projects in 14 Latin American nations.

ProTec International was formed in response to new regulations being enacted to protect the environment which are gaining support not only in industrialized nations but in developing countries as well. ProTec has ongoing business relationships with two petroleum firms in Latin America regarding ProTec’s fuel catalyst products which dramatically improve fuel quality without using costly refinery equipment.

ProTec International, of Placerville California, has achieved a breakthrough in the reduction of polluting stack emissions. Their fuel oil catalyst, PuraFuel Oil has been found to reduce Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) by as much as 84 percent. Heretofore, SO2 reductions were only possible by the installation of expensive scrubber-type mechanical equipment.

Although many Boiler Engineers and Professional Engineers will find this hard to believe, these remarkable test results were obtained by representatives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources of Chile. The fuel used was No.6 oil with a high 4% sulfur content. Actual tests were monitored by representatives of the Fuel and Energy Division of the national Department of Science and Technology. Additional test achievements were: a 78% reduction of particulate matter (mg/scm), and an 81% reduction in the mass rate of emission of particulate matter (kg/hr). The Chilean government is in the last stages of preparing to utilize ProTec’s products, on a national level, by entry into all fuel supplies. (There are also PuraGas for gasoline and PuraDiesel for diesel fuel with equally impressive pollution reduction capabilities.) Presently Chile and other South American nations are suffering the impact of a severe air pollution. By using ProTec’s products, they will be one of the first nations to clean their air of the ravages of air pollution.

Not only does PuraFuel Oil bring about a remarkable SO2 reduction, but using this highly effective fuel catalyst also upgrades the quality of the fuel oil supply. As a result, almost complete combustion takes place as evidenced by the improved flame, which changes from a long, rolling lazy-orange to a brilliant, compact, lemony-yellow. The oil-burning equipment runs smoother and soot formation no longer occurs. Existing carbon deposits cleanup and the resulting improvement in system combustion efficiency results in a fuel extension. Improvements of the Steam Production Ratio (SPR) of pounds of steam produced per gallon of fuel burned have been as high as 23 percent.

Many news articles tell of the bartering of emissions credits with no resulting reduction of pollution. Now, by merely adding ProTec’s product to their fuel oil, firms can achieve a true reduction of air pollution. And, at the same time, their equipment will run better and they will save money in the process.

NEW PRODUCT

PURAVLE

PURAVLE - Very Low Emissions Two Cycle Engine Oil Additive for Improved Lubrication and Combustion.

PURAVLE is a special oil additive that is mixed with regular two-cycle engine oil (lube). Recent tests show a dramatic reduction in air pollution from two cycle engines when PURAVLE is added to TCE regular oil (lube).

VLE features

Two Cycle Engine Oil additive with remarkable properties that adds lubricity and considerably improves the performance of even fuels of mediocre quality. In Two Cycle Engines, adding TCE regular oil (lube) treated with PURAVLE to gasoline dramatically improves combustion so that toxic emissions released into the atmosphere are significantly reduced with major savings in fuel consumption and equipment maintenance.

Use of PURAVLE

Greatly reduces fuel consumption
Prolongs engine life
Dramatically reduces smoke and polluting exhausts
Improves engine combustion and performance
Significantly reduces toxic emissions
Keeps carburetors "new and clean"

Continuous use of PURAVLE

Prolongs engine life
Reduces engine wear
Saves in maintenance
Reduces the need for tune-ups

We believe we have the right technology to positively impact the air pollution problem from TCE vehicle exhausts. These are extremely good news for countries where the main means of transportation are powered by two-cycle engines.
