CerMet Nano-Particle Ceramic Conditioner for Metal Surfaces

Case Study SYSCO, re: Series 60 Detroit Diesel

executive summary CerMet dramatically outperforms normal metal parts, reduces internal friction, increases engine performance, and improves fuel efficiencies by providing a harder, stronger, smoother and less corrosive surface. Other benefits include better compression, less noise / vibration, and longer lasting parts. This white paper and case studies highlights and demonstrates the following benefits:

-

DECREASES Replacement and Maintenance Repair Costs RENEWS Engines & Parts PROTECTS the Metal Surface REDUCES Friction, Heat, Corrosion, Harmful Emissions INCREASES Compression & Power IMPROVES Fuel Efficiency

features and benefits overview CerMet is a unique ceramic coating and conditioner that provides part protection and increased efficiencies without disassembly. CerMet produces much greater efficiency averages while drastically reducing friction and increasing power and torque. CerMet guarantees a 2:1 ROI (note: typical ROI’s range between 3:1 and 12:1) in fuel economy alone. Other significant savings are attained through extended part life, less maintenance, and reduced replacement costs.

-

Fills existing cavities and voids on the metal surfaces, preventing further

destruction of the metal

-

Removes and ties up the hydrogen ions from the steel matrix, forming a very

strong ceramic layer on the metal surface

-

Process involves not only the surface, but also the under surface layer of metal,

making the steel cluster smaller and less brittle

-

Newly formed layer is extremely slippery, smooth and hard, resisting the

deterioration process

-

Micro hardness of 650-750kg/sq mm, compared to < 300kg/sq.mm for most new parts

-

Surface roughness in most new parts is between 0.9 and 2.1 Ra. A CerMet coating has a surface roughness of 0.06 Ra

-

CerMet coating is dielectric and highly corrosion resistant

CerMet Nano-Particle Ceramic Conditioner for Metal Surfaces Case Study SYSCO 2

sysco, re: series 60 detroit diesel definition The CerMet test was performed on ten (10) single axle 9100 International tractors with Series 60 Detroit Diesel 11 and 12 liter engines. They run a combination of city and highway miles and average about 28% idle time. The test was only conducted for fuel savings data only and all other base line tests were not performed.

procedure Base line fuel data, miles per gallon, and odometer readings were tracked for future comparison. Each tractor received 50 ml of CerMet for Diesel Engines and were driven for over 2000 miles. After treatment fuel data, miles per gallon and odometer readings were taken and compared to original base line data.

SYSCO Decrease in Fuel Consumption : 12% Part Protection Lifespan: 60k

Miles Total Savings Per Yea r : $ 2,451 Est. Savings across entire fleet : $21 mil Other savings per vehicle : $1,500

results & analysis The CerMet After-Treatment test data showed an average 12% improvement in fuel economy. Each tractor produced an average 6.05 miles per gallon before the treatment and 6.78 mpg after. This improvement extrapolates out to a yearly savings of approximately $2,451 per tractor, multiplied by SYSCO's entire fleet generates an estimated savings over $21 million per year, bringing an overall Return On Investment (ROI) ratio of 5:1 just in fuel savings alone. All other benefits, such as; less oil consumption less maintenance costs, and increased part and engine life will dramatically increase the ROI. Importantly, the test was started at the end of summer and finished in the winter where historically more fuel is burned, thus reducing overall average MPG, because of additional idle time. So instead of average MPG going down a few points during these months, MPG actually increased by 12%.
