Balfour Beatty and Industrial Chemicals Limited (ICL) have both committed to using ‘engine carbon clean’ (ECC) technology, following successful trials that demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions and improving engine performance.
ECC is an innovative and patented on-demand hydrogen generator service that cleans all combustion engines internally by removing carbon build up. Oxyhydrogen gas is piped into the air intake and the engine sucks in on demand what it needs – significantly improving fuel efficiency and reducing toxic emissions, including CO₂, CO, NOx, and N₂O.
Leading international infrastructure group, Balfour Beatty, is the first company to apply this solution – on a Plasser & Theuer compact tamper – to rail-mounted plant as part of efforts to address Scope 1 emissions. The trial simulated a full year of usage aligning with typical maintenance cycles and saw a 15.79% reduction in emissions. The company is now aiming to roll out the ECC service across its entire tamper fleet.
ICL, a national leader of chemical manufacturing and distribution across the UK, piloted the innovative technology with empirical testing at the renowned Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedford. Following tangible improvements in both emissions reduction and fuel efficiency, the company trialled the system on one-third of its 90-vehicle truck fleet based at West Thurrock in Essex. Looking to roll out ECC across its nationwide sites, ICL was delighted to achieve over a 7% reduction in both emissions and fuel costs.
