Omnitek Receives EPA Approval for 12 Liter Diesel-to-Natural Gas Converted Mack E7 Engine
09 Giugno 2014 - 2:00PM
Omnitek Engineering Corp. (OTCQB:OMTK) today
announced it has received a Certificate of Conformity from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency applicable for diesel-to- natural
gas engine conversions of all Mack E7 electronic engines up to
model year 2006. The Certificate of Conformity allows engine
conversions to proceed in 49 States and covers 166 Mack E7
engine/model/power variations.
Omnitek will offer 100 percent dyno- tested "drop-in" ready
converted engines, configured for quick installation. An assembly
line engine remanufacturing/conversion process performed by the
company's strategic partner Reviva, based in Minneapolis, will
assure that engines are in "as new" condition with the highest
quality and uniformity.
"We are excited to commence Mack E7 engine conversions
immediately as there is significant pent up demand for converting
the popular Mack E7 engine model to natural gas. We expect strong
sales momentum in the quarters ahead as fleet customers take
advantage of the favorable economics of natural gas and our
'drop-in' engine program. Diesel-to-natural gas engine conversions
are a viable and cost-effective option for fleets to transition to
natural gas within a practical timeframe," said Werner Funk,
president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering
Corp.
He noted that Omnitek's conversion technology for the Mack E7
engine, one of the most popular engines for waste collection
companies, has already been validated on California roads,
following the completion of 21 Mack E7 engine conversions under a
CARB test permit in cooperation with one of the largest refuge
collection companies in the United States.
"We anticipate conversions of refuse collection trucks will
comprise a large portion of the Mack E7 business. Furthermore, we
look forward to finalizing the development of the Detroit Diesel
Series 60 and Caterpillar C15 engine conversion kits," Funk
said.
Funk noted the high engine power and favorable emissions of the
diesel-to-natural gas converted Mack E7 engine attributed to
Omnitek's patented technology -- producing 400 horsepower with low
NOx emissions of 0.14 gr/bhp-hr, per the EPA SET emissions test
protocol without the use of EGR. "As engines are converted to use
100% natural gas, the payback on a diesel-to-natural gas truck
conversion can be as short as 16 months, including the cost for the
engine, fuel storage system and installation labor. This is a
significant improvement compared with diesel-dual fuel technology,
which uses a mix of diesel and only a small amount of natural gas,"
Funk said.
As previously announced, the company's diesel-to-natural gas
engine conversion technology was selected as the best technology
under a competitive grant process by the Puget Sound Clean Air
Agency for a pilot project. The company's diesel-to-natural gas
engine conversion technology has been validated with more than
5,000 engine conversions completed worldwide.
