How do IFT additives reduce harmful emissions?
IFT additives have been proven to significantly reduce emission of black smoke, particulate matter (PM), unburned hydrocarbons (UHCs), and carbon-monoxide (CO). This is a direct result of the more complete combustion- less fuel goes unburned and these harmful byproducts are not emitted as a result of inefficient conversion of fuel to energy. In some tests, IFT additives have been able to lower particulates by over 90%. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx) are also created by the combustion of fuel in the engine. They are greenhouse gases that contribute to dangerous global warming. Due to the increased fuel efficiency and economy delivered by IFT additives, less fuel is burned for the same power output as untreated fuel. Since less fuel is burned for the same power output, less CO2 and NOx are released into the atmosphere. IFT’s additives also allow stable utilization of ethanol in fuels. Since ethanol is derived from biomass, this can lower net CO2 emissions even further.
