EcoImprove was developed within DUKE\u2019s Circular Industry Lab as an industrial response to the simplest yet most difficult problem: making what you already use burn better, without rebuilding the system.<\/p>\n
The device is installed upstream, along the fuel supply line, and physically conditions the fuel before injection.<\/p>\n
Inside the active body, electromagnetic fields are generated that trigger the patented principle of leaching: infinitesimal quantities of nanoparticles are extracted from the conduit during fuel passage and transported to the combustion chamber, where they promote more immediate and, above all, more complete oxidation. This recovers energy that would otherwise become pollutant, reduces residues and particulate matter, and stabilizes performance in real operation. <\/span><\/p>\nThe same logic applies to heterogeneous fleets and systems (naval, railway, construction, port), with compatibility tested also on biodiesel, synthetic fuels, gasoline and marine diesel. <\/span><\/p>\nWhen required, we connect operational data to the DUKE web app under development, for continuous monitoring, comparable KPIs and ESG reporting that simplifies audits, tenders and bids.<\/span><\/p>\n In brief: intelligent retrofit, data-driven measures, and a clear trajectory of standardization and multi-site scalability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>- <\/i><\/span>\n

The device physically conditions the fuel before injection: electromagnetic fields induce leaching and release infinitesimal quantities of copper nanoparticles, which in the combustion chamber promote more complete oxidation. Thus pollutants are reduced at the source, because combustion is more efficient and effective. Downstream retrofits (DPF or SCR) instead intercept exhaust gases to filter or convert them after combustion.<\/p>\n
EcoImprove works upstream, requires no structural modifications and is non-invasive. It can coexist with downstream solutions, but distinguishes itself by aiming to improve the primary process: combustion quality.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
