NOx Tests on Hospital Boiler |
A source test was performed on a boiler at St. Mary Hospital in Long Beach, California using 100% biodiesel treated with the RxP technology. The tests were performed by World Environmental, a certified testing laboratory approved by the South Coast Air Quality Management District in California. The purpose of these tests was to determine if 100% biodiesel could be used in lieu of natural gas. See newspaper article.
