Wine to reduce emissions of pollution |

The production of wine can do well in the old diesel and especially the environment. By-products
of its manufacture, technically special waste, was in fact obtained an
additive product as Magigas "D7", whose use seems to be able to halve
emissions of PM10 engine dated, pre-Euro 4 and Euro 5 standards,
without changes to the plant vehicles, expensive and even less convenient media closest to the disposal.
The effectiveness of the mixture D7 - diesel fuel will now be checked in a specific situation and operational, "real" in the course of a clinical wanted and financed by the Veneto Region, which will cover a period of six months, from March to August, dell'ACTV the entire fleet of buses in service at the Lido of Venice. The initiative was presented this morning at Palazzo Balbi to the policies by the Department of mobility in Veneto Renato Chisso, the Vice-President of ACTV Claudio Bertolin, accompanied by director Elio Zaggia year, CEO John Torraccia Magigas (company that produces the D7), and Stefano Biondi Envicon President of the company that will provide nutrition and measuring equipment designed to monitor continuously the reduction of pollutants in the exhaust. "We believe that the policy of doing, of affirmative action - said Chisso baptizing the project" Clean Venice "- will yield results much more meaningful than mere prohibitions. The Region has funded the trial with 100 thousand euros - he added - based on a positive first occurs on the additive carried by the D7 Research Center of the European Commission JRC Ispra, Varese province, on buses Iveco Euro 0 and Euro II. On that occasion there was a reduction in particulate emissions of between 21 and 69 percent, meaning that the specific release of a bus equipped with Euro 2 engine that circulates in an urban area, responsible for issuing an average of PM10 equal to 0.55 grams per kilometer, could be reduced to 0.18 g / km, with an objective benefit for the environment. If the results confirm the tests of evidence, we can think of to extend the use of diesel buses with engines adittivato old generation pending their natural replacement. The trial will involve a period with significant climatic changes. Emission controls will be performed with mobile equipment placed on the media themselves, in order to allow continuous monitoring in all operating situations. It should be noted that the 30 bus service to the Lido travel on average 2 million 400 thousand kilometers a year, with an average consumption of 2.3 km / liter of diesel and a total consumption estimated at around one million liters per year. The operation limited to the territory of the island will allow a precise analysis of the behavior of the media fed in a first phase with commercial diesel and then subsequently mixed with diesel fuel additive D7. The reduction of 10 pm until the trials was around 185 kg, but there is a significant decline also for carbon dioxide (-30 per cent, 2656 tonnes), nitrogen oxides (-5 - -10 to percent) and unburned hydrocarbons (- 25 per cent) The data collection and certification of the results obtained in continuity will be entrusted to the Center for Research of the European Commission in Ispra and all'Arpav. The trial is also working the University of Venice. Half of the trial period will be presented a progress report on the results. The regional contribution will cover the cost of the additive and the cost of the analysis of field emission and subsequent processing, the cost of communication and presentation of the trial users, the business of science. |
