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.
