Elsbett Engine

As tdi ( turbo direct injection ), this engine concept

As " " (" the international
revolutionized direct world") of DieselElsbett
engines. concept

The technical innovations of this engine concept was filed in

400 patents, including features such as the duothermical combustion
400 t oilt cooling, turbo charging or the articulated
process, d th piston.
i l

Next to an extremely low fuel consumption, this engine showed

another characteristic: It was already able to run on SVO or WVO!

Derived from that knowledge, we are offering standardized SVO or

WVO conversion kits for cars, heavy-duty trucks, busses, locomotives

SVO & WVO: a worldwide success story during the last 10 years

1995: starting with 2 conversions in 1 year

2008 more than 3000 conversions on trucks, cars and

other machinery in 2005.

1995 created demand for vegetable oil as fuel =

3.000 litres (three thousand)

2009 created demand for vegetable oil as fuel =

100.000.000 litres (one hundred million litres)

SVO & WVO: a worldwide success story during the last 10 years

1995 conversions were carried out in Germany

2005 Our Company is present in nearly all

European countries and on 5 continents

1985 technology was focused mostly on local oils, like

rape seed (Canola)

2009 Our Company works now worldwide with a lot of

different oils, like rape seed, sunflower, Soya, Jatropha,
Camelina, WVO, etc…

 Why converting to WVO & SVO? Fuel cost savings!

In a lot of countries – SVO and WVO might be less expensive than

Diesel fuel, i.e. because the price was already paid on the food market
(WVO).

Limited resources of petrol

fuels (local and global) -
increasing fuel prices
prices. We need
need
alternative and sustainable
solutions – waste management.

Reducing
Reducing of the
the CO2 emissions
emissions will be
be
a main target in the future (one of the
best carbon footprints, reduction of CO2
by 58%(SVO) or nearly 100% (WVO).

Why ?
9/24
What does it need for a successful use of SVO & WVO

1. Right base of engine brand or engine model (We tell you

what engines you might choose to be successful)

2. Right fuel handling (fuel certification – we tell you how to

produce and handle high quality fuel and release our
ttechnology
h l ffor your ffuell standard)
t d d)

3. Right conversion technology (with more than 4.500 different

conversion kits, Our company got worldwide the most experiences
if it comes to run engines with Straight or waste vegetable oil)

= Successful SVO & WVO application

1. Choice of the right brand and model

Principally, all kinds of Diesel engines are convertible.

Exceptions relate to unsuitable injections systems or engine
configurations.

All engines can be converted with the 2 Tank Systems, some

car engines can also be converted with the 1 Tank System.

Some of the technical solutions work with every kind of oil,

others are more limited.

In this case the choice of the engine brand and model might
play an important role.

 2. WVO: Fuel certification

There are a couple of reasons to go through our fuel certification

process:

Certified fuel gives access to fast growing markets of micro

fuels + branding
Certified fuels enables the users to insure their machinery
while using the certified fuel
Certified fuel protects the market from low quality fuels

Certified fuel reduces potential trouble reasoned by different

kind of contamination etc..

Certified fuel defines different steps of fuel production and

storing

You deliver certified fuel and we care about your customers.

 SVO & WVO: what are the advantages compare to the
chemical treatment of the fuel like i.e. transesterification

1. Chemical treatment of the fuel means higher fuel cost, SVO means a
longer stay in the profitable zone (especially important in the commercial
sector).
2. Chemical treatment will increase your carbon footprint by reducing the
greenhouse gas emission saving (58%-SVO compare to 45%-biodiesel)
3. Chemical treatment of the fuel does not mean anymore trouble free use in
any kind of diesel engine, because of the highly developed technology which
need to get adapted to any kind of different fuel (DPF, NOx-emissions)
4. Chemical treatment of the fuel means waste of energy on the fuel side (i.e.
transesterification process reduces the heat value and produces by-products
which you need to market separately)
5. Chemical treatment of the fuel means waste of energy on the infrastructure
side (i.e. transesterification means centralisation with a lot of useless
transportation
6. Chemical treatment of the fuel means big non reversible investment in
plants, Our SVO technology is a high flexible concept without this huge initial
investment and more money in the fuel!
