Zero-pollution multi-fuel combustion system (PCCP)
Developed in North East England, Phase Controlled Combustion (PCCP) can utilise any mixture of hydrocarbon fuel from any source, fossil, vegetable & animal, and burn it very efficiently producing virtually zero pollution. It is a controlled direct injection system, thus the exhaust emissions are free of pollutants. Each stage is completed before passing to the next, unlike conventional combustion where once initiated control is lost. Resourceful collaborator sought for applications development.
