Test Procedure Overview

The comprehensive 21-step test procedure included:

  • Three baseline CVS/FTP tests before treatment
  • Baseline repeatability verification within 10% tolerance
  • Application of Cerma liquid oil catalyst
  • 100-mile drive cycle using AMA route
  • Three post-treatment CVS/FTP tests

Emissions Measured

Samples were collected and analyzed for:

  • THC – Total Hydrocarbons
  • CO – Carbon Monoxide
  • NOx – Nitrogen Oxides
  • CO2 – Carbon Dioxide
  • Fuel Economy
