Introducing the “Next Generation” of

Diesel Engine Exhaust Gas Emissions Control
Innovation and the use of unique ceramic

technology has created a product that eliminates
toxic exhaust gas emissions from Diesel/Gasoline
engines, for a fraction of the cost of alternative
methods.

Corporate Commitment
• Since the 1990’s, Eclipse Design & Material, Inc. have
been pioneering the new ceramic products & technologies
for aerospace, automotive, industrial, medical, and
military application.
• Our corporate commitment is to providing engineered
solutions to overcome technological barriers & improve
your customer’s product performance
• One important product group that is under increasing
scrutiny with regard to performance improvement
includes the full range of diesel engines
3
Situation Summary
• In 1996, a Statement of Principles pertaining to non-
road diesel engines was signed between EPA, California
ARB and engine makers
– Including Caterpillar, Cummins, Deere, Detroit Diesel (Daimler-Benz),
Deutz, Isuzu, Komatsu, Kubota, Mitsubishi, Navistar, New Holland, Wis-
Con, and Yanmar
– Jointly, these and other manufacturers build between 1.1m and 1.4m new
diesel engines in a “typical” year, some of which will be kept in operation
for up to 20+ years, but most of which (our research shows) will a have an
average working life of 8.38 years (≈18,000 operating hrs./628,500miles)
– That means a field population of 9.2 to 11.7 units (conservatively)
• In 1997, EPA adopted new emission standards for on-
road diesel truck and bus engines.
• The goal is to significantly reduce CO, HC, Non-
methane hydrocarbons, NOx, and Particular Matter
emissions
4
Situation Summary
Tier 1-3 Standards.
• The first federal standards (Tier 1) for new diesel
engines were adopted in 1994 for engines over 50 hp,
and were to be phased-in from 1996 to 2000.
• In 1998 regulations expanded Tier 1 standards to
include engines under 50 hp and added more stringent
Tier 2 and Tier 3 standards for all equipment with
phase-in schedules from 2000 to 2008.
• The Tier 1-3 standards are met through advanced engine
design, with use of exhaust gas after treatment in some
cases
5
Situation Summary
Tier 4 Standards.
• On May 11, 2004, the EPA signed the final rule
introducing Tier 4 emission standards, which are to be
phased-in over the period of 2008-2015
[69 FR 38957-39273, 29 Jun 2004].
• The Tier 4 standards require that emissions of Particular
Matter and NOx be further reduced by about 90%.
• These levels of emission reductions can be achieved
through the use of control technologies and today most
include advanced exhaust gas after treatment
6
Situation Summary
• Manufacturers have reacted appropriately, and rapidly
designed and built diesel engines that better respond to
the Tier 4 emissions standards with new control
technologies (i.e. Cat’s ASERT, Navistar’s EGR)
• But to meet the 2010 regulations, even the majority of
these, as well as the older engines already in use, will
require exhaust gas after treatment with such things as:
– catalytic reduction units
– Lean NOx absorbers
– Particulate traps and filters
– Oxidation catalysts
– Etc.
7
Radical Change Through Innovation

• Revolutionary and proprietary “Next Generation” green technology
– Uses a unique and proprietary ceramic-based solid-state
electron/proton conducting electrode “imbedded” in ceramic
electrolyte “Mixed Phase Ceramic Oxide Catalyst ("MPCOCTM")”
technology capable of breaking down exhaust pollution emissions
into their non-pollutant elements.
– Eclipse’s MPCOCTM is fundamentally different from other
approaches, and enables Eclipse to produce catalyst formulations
with superior catalytic performance and a high degree of durability.
– By applying DC power across this unique ceramic “grid” this
technology creates a “gas to gas” decomposition separating O2 & H
molecules from toxic gases
– SOx, NOx, CO, CO2, unburned Hydro Carbons (HCs), and other
gases containing oxygen, are turned into S, N2, C, H and O2, which
are non-toxic, pure gases
8

• Emissions Control System allows only non-toxic
air to exit
– Inserted into the exhaust system ahead of the muffler
– Has no moving parts, requires little or no maintenance
– High durability and maintains efficiency throughout a
wide range of ambient temperature conditions
– Decreases power reduction & torque reduction caused
by current technology, extending engine component life,
and is capable of capturing and re-cycling O2 back into
engine for increased fuel/engine efficiency
9

• The Emissions Control System is a stand alone
unit
– Capable of handling a small or large flow rate
– Can be retrofitted to accommodate any size exhaust
– Requires no waste disposal
– Reduces toxic emissions by up to 99.99 percent
– Eliminates the need for other components such as:
• Selective Catalytic Reduction
• Diesel Oxidation Catalyst
• Diesel Particulate Filter
• Urea Selective Catalytic Reduction (NO) 10

* Further study needs to be done to optimize the product performance.

combustion engine exhaust emission solutions:

– Hydrocarbon-based selective catalytic reduction
– Advanced three-way catalytic converter
– Lean NOx absorbers
– Particulate trap and regeneration stage
– Oxidation catalysts
– Plasma
– Exhaust gas pretreatment
– Base metal fuel additives
– Corona system
– Zeolite, etc. 14
Emissions Control System Testing

• Technology has been independently tested*
– Raw engine exhaust was pulled from a modern Fiat
direct injection turbo-diesel engine out sampling port
specifically used for collecting engine-out emissions.
– The exhaust was piped to the test bench platform
through a heated sample line.
– A Mass Spectrometer emission analyzer was used for
the test.
– The Mass Spectrometer had two heated probes with one
measurement head.
*The referenced test was conducted by Delphi Automotive in 8/00. Additional testing was conducted by Eaton Automotive in 1/05 and 15
Diablo Analytical, Inc., for Hewlett Packard in 10/99 (Oxygen Generator and Oxygen Sensor)
Emissions Control System Testing

• Technology has been independently tested
– The test device was setup between the two sample
streams.
– The first sample probe allowed collection of base
engine exhaust emissions and measurement of the
sample flow through the system.
– The second probe was used to measure the NOx and
other gases emissions after the test device.
– In order to collect the data for these tests, engine out
base measurement was taken first, then the probes were
switched to measure the post test device emission
values through the test device.
16
Emission Control System Testing

• Technology has been independently tested
– The sampling process was conducted twice for both
engine-out and post device emissions.
– The engine speed and load for the test was set at 2400
rpm and 80 N-M of torque (as it is the standard test
point utilized for NOx emission standard testing and for
which extensive background data exists).
– The total flow through the exhaust system was 52.9
gm/sec (2451126.437 cc/min).
– This rate of flow is consistent with an average on-
highway truck cruising speed of 60 MPH.

Eaton Corporation NOx Filter Test
• A NOx filter test was conducted to determine

if NOx could be selectively reduced in the
presence of other gases.
• Bottled gas was used as opposed to exhaust
gas to prove the concept

and electrical power is around a exhaust flow
rate of 1 liter/min.
27
Independent Testing Conclusions

• From the tests shown in this presentation, and from the
results of other additional independent evaluations, the
results indicate:
This Emissions Control System is the only available state

of the art emissions control device that delivers significant
results, that will satisfy any current and future national and
international Clean Air Acts, from the EPA Clean Air Act to
the Kyoto Global Warming Protocols for reduction of green
house gases.
28
Conclusions
• The concept is unique, simple and effective
• It requires less space, less maintenance and
less engine power to operate
• It can be produced at substantially less cost
than current technologies
• And it is more durable and reliable under all
operating conditions
