Latest Demonstrations Download as PDF
Numerous demonstrations have been conducted to determine the effectiveness of Omstar. The following information illustrates results obtained from practical applications on vehicle fleets under normal operation procedures. Comprised of 3 phases, designed to fully test the effectiveness of Omstar d-1280x, the data shown compares data from the Phase 1 Baseline (no Omstar used) relative to the Phase 3 Further Implementation (after Omstar has cleaned the engine components and had time for Chemisorption to take effect). These most recent examples were conducted for Silver State Trailways Bus Company in Los Angeles, California and the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) government bus system in Kingston, Jamaica. Other demonstrations are currently underway with many more scheduled throughout the summer 2009 - both nationally and internationally.

In Depth: The Omstar Three-Phased Implementation Protocol
Phase 1 - Determine the Baseline
What: Establishment of fuel mileage and opacity (particulate matter) readings using the SAE J1667 standard with no Omstar in the engine's fuel or oil system.
How: By accurately and transparently measuring all fuel induced into the engine (monitored and recorded by Omstar representative and the client representative) at each fueling/each day.
Duration: Minimum of five (5) days and 500 operating miles to allow for a more accurate statistical representation.
Desired Control Features (as many as feasible without interfering with operations): Repeatable route of travel, similar times of day, similar loads (if any), same driver (if possible).
Phase 2 - Implementation
What: Establishment of fuel mileage and opacity (particulate matter) readings using the SAE J1667 standard with 5oz of Omstar/10 gallons of fuel in the engine?s fuel tank and 1oz of Omstar/1qt of oil in the engine's oil system.
How: By accurately and transparently measuring all fuel induced into the engine (monitored and recorded by Omstar representative and the client representative) at each fueling/each day - along with adding the requisite amount of Omstar into the fuel to maintain the 5oz/10 fuel gallon ratio.
Duration: Minimum of five (5) days and 500 operating miles to allow for a more accurate statistical representation. This time allows the Omstar chemisorption process to begin to take effect.
Desired Control Features Repeatable route of travel, similar times of day, similar loads (if any), same driver (if possible). At the end of this phase, a change of oil and a change of oil and fuel filters are required, along with a re-introduction of Omstar into the oil system at the 1oz/1qt of oil rate.
Phase 3 - Further Implementation
What: Establishment of fuel mileage and opacity (particulate matter) readings using the SAE J1667 standard with 3oz of Omstar/10 gallons of fuel in the engine's fuel tank and 1oz of Omstar/1qt of oil in the engine's oil system.
How: By accurately and transparently measuring all fuel induced into the engine (monitored and recorded by Omstar representative and the client representative) at each fueling/each day - along with adding the requisite amount of Omstar into the fuel to maintain the 1oz/10 fuel gallon ratio.
Duration: Minimum of five (5) days and 500 operating miles to allow for a more accurate statistical representation. This time allows the Omstar chemisorption to continue to progress.
Desired Control Features Repeatable route of travel, similar times of day, similar loads (if any), same driver (if possible). At the end of this phase, comparisons are made between Phase 3 averages and Phase 1 averages. These comparisons illustrate the economical and ecological benefits of using Omstar.
