CCA Signs Licensing Agreement With Clean Diesel Technology for Diesel NOx Reduction Patents
Sub-Licenses to Be Offered to Qualified OEM and Tier 1 Suppliers
| Source: Combustion Components Associates
MONROE, CT--(Marketwire - May 30, 2007) - Ewire -- Combustion Components Associates (CCA),
a global provider of air pollution control technologies for the power
generation and transportation industry announced today that it has signed a
license agreement with Clean Diesel Technologies, Inc. (CDT) for control of
nitrogen oxides from diesel engines. Under the license agreement, CCA has
secured non-exclusive rights to patents held by CDT in Europe and North
America for new mobile diesel engines for on-road and non-road
applications, and enables CCA to grant sublicenses to Tier 1, OE and
exhaust system suppliers who can now take advantage of this combined
portfolio of technologies. More specifically, CCA's license and its
sublicensing rights include CDT's ARIS™ method of single-fluid
return-flow cooled urea injection for SCR control, as well as patents
covering hydrocarbon reagents and the combination of exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) with SCR. CCA and CDT have also signed a term sheet for
a separate license for Japan and China. CCA already holds licenses from CDT
for use in mobile retrofit and non-vehicular applications in North America
such as stationary power generation, rail and marine engines.
Making the announcement, CCA President R. Gifford Broderick stated, "CCA's
patent applied for and proprietary injector design, control software and
injection system along with CDT's intellectual property will enable us to
provide an integrated and cost-effective approach for urea and
hydrocarbon-based after-treatment for a range of applications. The
co-operation between the two companies will enable qualified Tier 1
suppliers, OEMs and other end-users access to the combined CCA and CDT
technologies under a single license agreement from CCA. This will help our
customers meet stringent global diesel standards that are rapidly being
enforced on diesel engines. The success we are having in the retrofit and
stationary applications is now being carried over to new mobile diesel
vehicles."
The patent applied for CCA ELIM-NOx™ system is being used on over 200
commercial applications across a wide range and class of engines
manufactured worldwide. These include passenger cars, on-road and non-road
medium and heavy duty engines and large stationary power generation
equipment. The unique advantage of CCA's ELIM-NOx™ injector is that it
does not require air for atomization, operates at low pressure and can
handle both urea and hydrocarbon reagents. Furthermore, the CCA injector is
designed to deliver ultra fine droplets of either urea or hydrocarbon.
Therefore, it can be used in a broad range of after-treatment systems such
as diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration systems, urea SCR systems,
hydrocarbon-based lean NOx traps and lean NOx catalysts. A wide range of
injection rates are also possible with the CCA injector design; allowing
the same injector with a minor tip modification to be used on a wide
variety of applications from light duty passenger diesel vehicles to large
locomotives.
OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers interested in licensing opportunities or
commercial applications should contact Jim Valentine, at 203.268.3139.
About CCA
CCA develops, manufactures and markets air pollution control technologies
for the power generation and transportation industry. For over twenty-five
years, CCA has been an industry leader in the design, development, testing
and manufacture of high efficiency, low emission combustion systems for
boilers and diesel engines. CCA has over 300 customers in the areas of
power and automotive applications.
The CCA ELIM-NOx™ system is a proprietary CCA product. The ELIM-NOx™
system is the result of several years of research and development using
CCA's combustion and atomization expertise. The ELIM-NOx™ system is
designed to reduce NOx emissions by 70% - 90% from a wide range and class
of on-road and non-road road vehicles and can handle both urea and
hydrocarbon reagents. The CCA ELIM-NOx™ system does not require air for
atomization and operates at low pressure and is designed for
cost-effectiveness, performance efficiencies, fuel economy and simplified
controls. The system has a unique and patented 'self-learn' programming and
validation capability. The ELIM-NOx™ system is undergoing EPA ETV
verification for retrofit applications for on-road and non-road vehicles.
