Environmental Control Corporation: Environment Canada's Official Test Report Released

Published 08-08-06

Submitted by Environmental Control Corporation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 8, 2006--Environmental Control Corporation ("ECC") (OTCBB:EVCC) is pleased to announce that the official test report from Environment Canada's Emissions Research and Measurement Division (ERMD) has been released. The official report confirms all test results included in the preliminary report, and a full copy of Environment Canada's ERMD report entitled "Comparing the Regulated Exhaust Emissions Emitted by a Small Two-Stroke Fire Pump Engine Equipped with an ECC Catalyst" will soon be available on ECC's corporate website (www.econtrolcorp.com).

Summary of Report

ECC's catalytic muffler was fitted to a two-stroke 185cc class 1 non-handheld engine provided by Wildfire, a division of Tyco International Ltd. A six-mode test (in accordance with US EPA regulations) was conducted on four different configurations to establish the best suited for this particular engine, and it was determined that a catalyst using 20LPM of air injection provided the best solution. The catalytic muffler using 20LPM of air injection produced the following emission reductions (in comparison with the Original Engine Manufactured (OEM) muffler):








EmissionsOEM Standard MufflerECC Catalytic MufflerReduction
Total CO (g/kw-hr)83421675.6%
Total NO (g/kw-hr).35.2334.3%
Total HC (g/kw-hr)253.62.599.0%
Total HC + NOx (g/kw-hr) 253.92.7298.9%

The 2008 emission standards for this class of engine as set by CARB and the US EPA are 610 g/kw-hr, and 16.1 g/kw-hr for CO and Total HC+ NOx respectively meaning that ECC appears to have exceeded the upcoming emission standards for certification.

ECC must now undergo additional testing to prove the durability of the catalytic muffler. Pending proof of durability, ECC will become the first company to ever achieve certification of this engine.
