DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICANT AND ITS ACTIVITIES:
Company Information
SulNOx was established in 2013 through the issue of shares to
the founders to develop and commit to trial a new type of fuel
emulsifier technology. The technology is owned by SulNOx and it
is advancing a Patent application.
The Group has developed a methodology and process capable of
emulsifying hydrocarbon fuels such as diesel and heavy fuel oil
("HFO"). The resultant emulsions have long term stability. When
added to the fuel, the Company's products are capable of:
· reducing Nitrous Oxide, Cardon Dioxide and Sulphur Oxide
Gases
· removing free water from fuel and eradicating fungal and
bacterial growth
· more efficient combustion and therefore reduced fuel usage
· reducing Particulate Matter (Smoke & Soot)
· reducing viscosity of heavy fuel oil (HFO)
The Group's chemical formulations have been tested independently
and have been shown to deliver the above benefits.
The Group operates through two wholly owned subsidiaries, SulNOx
Research and Development Limited ("SRD") and SulNOx Fuel Fusions
Limited ("SFF").
The emulsifier is added to fuel with additional water and
without engine modification. This is shown to improve the fuel
burn and therefore, combustion efficiency. Following a period of
research and development, leading to a second product, a small
amount of the modified formulation can be added directly to
diesel (without mixing with water) to emulsify the existing
'free' water which can exist in stored diesel as a result of
condensation and contamination.
By January 2014, following preliminary laboratory testing,
SulNOx was in a position to suggest that its products resulted
in up to a 50% reduction of Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and a 90%
reduction in particulate matter (exhaust soot/smoke)
Subsequently, SulNOx raised further funds to continue product
development and testing. The Group engaged Ricardo Engineering,
a global engineering company with a specialisation in engine and
fuel testing, to review the product.
The result was the further development of the chemical
technology and a better understanding of optimal application. By
2015, a major technological advancement was made through the
reduction of the size of the fuel particles to between 1 and 16
nanometres with complete stability.
