The
CDD™ is inserted into the exhaust system of a gasoline engine upstream
from the three-way catalytic converter, and is capable of reducing carbon
monoxide (CO) emissions more than 80 percent, and hydrocarbon (HC) and
oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions by more than 50 percent, depending
upon the sulfur contents of the fuels involved, which may range from 0
to more than 300 ppm (parts per million).
Volume price of the CDD™ to automotive manufacturers is expected to be less than $100. The new device is both readily installed on new cars during assembly and suitable for retrofitting older cars.
The CDD™ is a low-power device that will operate at approximately 25 watts -- less than the amount of power required to illuminate a car's brake light.
The CDD™ is based on a technology initiated and patented by the Lockheed Martin Corp. Litex has exclusive rights to the Lockheed Martin patent, and has further developed the technology with additional research and patents of its own. The product has been undergoing extensive testing since 1997 in the laboratories of Arthur D. Little, Inc. of Cambridge, Massachusetts, a renowned research and development firm. Additional testing is being conducted by international automobile manufacturers and component suppliers.

Litex's
team of scientists and consultants have developed a theory on how
the CDD™ enhances the effectiveness of a three-way catalytic
converter via the introduction of highly active species in the exhaust
stream upstream of the catalyst. Text
