| Summary: | Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions are among the most pressing global issues, with reduction of
carbon footprint has been identified as one of the main indicators in this battle. In the effort to reduce carbon footprint
generation, a local power utility company, located in East Malaysia that operates diesel-fuelled generators had conducted
a periodic maintenance program using EXORIN treatment. EXORIN treatment program focused on improving the fuelling
capability of the diesel-fuelled generators. Using comparative tests from untreated and treated operations, the carbon
footprint emission levels were determined by comparing data obtained from gaseous emission sampling method, dark
smoke observation and data of stationary source from the utility powerplant. From analysed data, CO and CO2 emissions
were successfully reduced by around 7%. The combustion and energy efficiencies had also improved within the range of
9% to 21%. Fuel economy, which is dependent on the consumers electricity demands, also showed significant trend. These
results outlined the potential of reducing carbon footprint using the dedicated EXORIN treatment program |
