EXEN Spotlight
EXEN is engaging strategic commercial alliance partners, joint ventures and partnerships, in licensing agreements that can be tailored to the specific use applications in power generation, marine transportation, heavy equipment, mining, and others. EXEN entered into high level discussions and negotiations with diesel engine industry leaders and shared its know-how and experience accumulated over a decade, working with fossil fuels, air and hydrogen as an infused fuel and its reactivity.
Pilot System Development, 2021
Years of fuel infusion research have culminated in the development of a pilot system design that incorporates all our know-how.
The pilot system is designed to operate with each of our three infusion processes in one unit. Installations are turn-key.
PILOT SYSTEM
Engine Capacity: Up to 2mW
Parasitic Load: 0.2 - 0.8kW
Infusion Processes:
Projected Reductions In Diesel Fuel Consumption
-
Hydroxydiesel™:
<30%
-
Hydrodiesel™:
<20%
-
Aerodiesel™:
<10%
Isla Colon Panama, 2020
After a successful demonstration of the EXEN infusion system at a Taboga power plant, the Aerodiesel unit was relocated to the 10.2 mW power plant at Bocas del Toro on Isla Colon.
The EXEN infusion system was installed on a XQ-2000 CAT generator with mechanically actuated, electronically controlled unit injectors.
Second time around, EXEN was able to successfully demonstrate that the Caterpillar engines fuel efficiency gain was enhanced by over 20% with Aerodiesel infusion process.
Demonstration site at the power station on Isla Colon, Panama
Isla Taboga Panama, 2019
The initial power plant field demonstration of Aerodiesel system was performed at 1.2 mW power plant on Isla Taboga.
The infusion system was coupled to a Perkins MP-615, 6-cylinder, turbocharged, unit injection, diesel engine.
No modifications to the engine's fuel system were required, and the system installation was plug and play as is standard in most Aerodiesel applications.
