Ultimum5

Because Specific Fuel Consumption ( SFC) is improved, less carbon as Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is emitted when measured against work performed. The catalysts provided during the combustion process also contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions measured as soot or Particulate Mass (PM) in engine exhaust due to improved combustion efficiency. Ultimum 5 also has catalysts in it that work post-combustion to reduce emissions. The catalytic process by which Ultimum 5 reduces NO X and SO X is similar to Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) units. That said, Ultimum 5 does not have the same shortcomings that SCR does, where SCR only becomes effective once the system reaches a sufficient temperature for catalysis to occur, which is typically between about 250°C and 430°C. Ultimum 5 also is not subject to catalyst “poisoning” (a reduction in catalytic effectiveness due to reaction with chemicals that impede the catalytic effect). Nor does the user have to be concerned with about thermal cycling breaking down the physical structure of their catalytic converter over time. This is because the active catalysts are being continually supplied in the fuel. In SCR, ammonia (NH 3 ) injected into the exhaust stream post-combustion works as a free radical in concert with the redox properties of the SCR catalyst to reduce NO X (a combination of NO and NO 2 ) to N 2 and H 2 O. The simple form of the reaction is as follows: Ultimum 5 + NO + NO 2 + NH 3 → N 2 + H 2 O + Ultimum 5 NEW
