CFT Test Report on Exhaust Temperature

ATTENTION : ALL DISTRIBUTORS

RE: ALGAE-X TEST CONDUCTED AT BARLOWS CATERPILLAR ISANDO

On 4th November 2002 we provided a test unit to Barlows on behalf of their customer Suiferfontein Mine to confirm Algae-X's effectiveness. An LG-X 1500 Unit was tested on a CAT 3508 motor and the following results achieved:

WITHOUT ALGAE-X

WITH ALGAE-X

Discussions and feedback from our other CAT clients such as Optimum Colliery indicate a fuel saving of 6.73% and this tends to be a more realistic figure as the equipment operates mainly in the half to three-quarter load zones.

An interesting new point to us was the substantial reduction in exhaust gas temperatures which quite frankly I was unaware of! On querying this aspect with Algae-X International, I was advised that this was indeed a benefit of Algae-X and the result was obtained by providing a more optimum burn of the fuel in the combustion chamber and not continuing to burn on the exhaust transfer.

Sadly Barlows were not prepared to confirm these results on a CAT letterhead (I cannot understand why as the tests were repeated by them three times with exactly the same results, and a meeting with them yielded no negatives or concerns). Apparently, company policy restricts them from doing this.

Installation of Algae-X will not negate the warranty on CAT equipment, except of course if it is found that Algae-X caused the failure -- as you well know, an impossible scenario.

The gentlemen at Barlows who conducted the tests are:

Mr Pietie Aukamp, telephone number 011-9290000 or 082-9029377 and
Mr Hendrik Loods, telephone number 011-9290000 or 083-3274045.

They have, however, advised that they will be more than happy to confirm the above results telephonically, should a client require confirmation of such.

Hoping this information will assist.
