bioMSAR™ is a renewable version of MSAR® and has undergone extensive pilot testing at QRF to ensure that it’s ready for commercial-scale fuel applications. Below is a summary of application test results to date that demonstrate that bioMSAR™ performance matches our excellent, proven MSAR® fuel and surpasses conventional fuels.
AQUAFUEL TESTING (CUMMINS ENGINE)
Ongoing testing of bioMSAR™ at Aquafuel Research Limited facilities has confirmed that bioMSAR™ is viable as a diesel engine fuel, the efficiency is 3% higher than diesel and emissions results indicate 20-27% lower NOx. The bioMSAR™ fuel being tested reduces CO2 emissions by around 20%.
Quadrise’s test engine is a high-speed (1500 RPM) 4-cylinder, 4-stroke direct injection Cummins 4BT. The Cummins engine has been modified to allow new fuels and higher inlet temperatures to be tested. The head and flywheel have been modified to install a pressure sensor and allow fuel injection timing to be adjusted respectively.
