Quotes enclose e-mail exchange with Mr, Don Woodward of RxP. Seems some more tests with biodiesel may be needed before the claims on NOx reduction are accepted. Anybody out there having experience with RxP/any other NOx reduction additive/strategies, please revert. Regards. balaji. "Good Morning Yes, we still manufacturer RxP. Our company is growing rapidly and we are interested in expanding into biodiesel. Supreme Oil of Arizona did not sign our distributor agreement and our contact there, Chris Sellers, left their company. Chris was injured in an accident last year and is just now ready to come back to work. More than likely we will work through him rather than the company he used to work for here in the U.S. We do have an associate here in Florida that is from India and has made contact with some of your government agencies about using RxP in various fuels. I don't think he has talked to anyone about our biodiesel additive. We also had discussions last year with a company in India that wanted RxP as an additive in power generating turbines. We never did get together on price. The only real scientific test we have was the test run for St. Mary Hospital in California http://www.rxp.com/St._Mary_Test.2.htm As far as testimonials go we can put you in contact with Richard Hiatt (who is not working on a B2 blend for the Indian Reservations out west) and Chris Sellers who was present at the St. Mary test. Ultimately, the only test anyone believes is the one they run themselves. Our technician, Duane Fisher, can come to India to conduct whatever tests you feel you will need. You would be required to pay his transportation and housing while there. We pay him and his personal expenses. We charge one cent per treated gallon for the biodiesel additive in drum quantities FOB our dock. The price goes down with volume. You tell us what your volume requirements are and we will quote a price based on that information. Our standard blend treatment ratio is one ounce treats ten gallons (1/1,280). To save on freight costs we can blend to a treatment ratio of one ounce treats 30 gallons (1/3,840). This means one 55-gallon drum will treat 211,200 gallons of fuel. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you, Don Woodward RxP Products, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: balaji [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 10:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RxP additive Dear Mr. Don Woodward, I am from India. We are seriously looking at biodiesels for transport and power generation via govt. and pvt. initiatives in both the industrial and rural sectors in our country. As you are aware, biodiesels burn hotter and NOx in the exhaust is an issue. Our country represents a huge potential market for your product. Please kindly let me know if you still manufacture the RxP additives and if so, whether you have any representatives/agents in this part of the world ? Also any information on tests/customer endorsement other than those already posted on your website. I understand that Supreme Oil of Arizona were appointed by you to market RxP. They however do not mention RxP at their website. I am a listmember of biofuel@yahoogroups.com and Keith Addison and a whole bunch of other listers are intrigued. Could you please clarify if they still market RxP ?
