Coal-Fired Utilities See Improved Efficiency With Green Plus

Biofriendly Corporation announced today that its Green Plus® liquid combustion catalyst has been proven to reduce harmful emissions from coal-fired power plants. In addition, trials have shown an improvement in thermal efficiency that result in reductions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which are believed to be a major contributor to global warming.

Successful implementations of Green Plus have been completed in coal-fired boilers ranging in size from 40 megawatts to 500 megawatts. In each trial there has been a measurable improvement in thermal efficiency and a reduction in unburned carbon in the fly ash. Reductions of NOx and SO2 have also been documented.

Green Plus has been primarily used in the liquid fuels market, improving combustion in gasoline, diesel and fuel oil. “We have spent the past three years carefully researching the capabilities of Green Plus in coal,” said Robert W. Carroll, Chairman and CEO of Biofriendly Corporation. “We completed a series of successful trials at Power Technology’s Combustion Research facility in the UK in 2006. Since then we have conducted trials in full-scale utility operations in three countries. We are very pleased with these results, which are leading to longer-term installations,” he added.

The results of the trials have shown reduction in unburned carbon, also known as Loss on Ignition (LOI) up to 55%. Thermal efficiency improvements have been as high as 4%.

“The coal-fired utility industry is a critical component of world electricity supply. However, operators are under intense pressure to find solutions to greenhouse gas emissions while coping with the increasing costs of operation. We are pleased that Green Plus can play a role to help both sides of the challenge,” said Carroll.

About Biofriendly Corporation and Green Plus

Under development for over 15 years, Green Plus liquid fuel combustion catalyst achieves a breakthrough combination of reduced emissions and improved fuel economy. Green Plus is added in very small quantities to fuel in order to create a more complete, cooler (fewer hot spots) and more linear burn. The product has undergone rigorous testing in the United States, Europe and Asia, and has over four billion miles of on-road/on-ocean use. Green Plus is now available commercially worldwide.

Green Plus is designed for use in diesel, gasoline and other hydrocarbon-based fuels. This patent-pending product was invented by the same innovators who created Vortoil, the award-winning oil-water separator for offshore oil production. For more information, please visit www.biofriendly.com.
