Maintenance Supervisor		Worldwide Hotel Chain-Asia
"Letter 1 …I believe that the readings have now stabilized after both visually and practically verifying that the fuel reductions achieved have been through the installation of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst as the combustion in the Boiler has improved dramatically. As a result we have recorded a 20.38% drop in fuel consumption. Finally, I note that the Stack Temperatures have decreased, the Smoke Emissions have cleared and the internal sooting levels are only at a fraction of the levels previous experienced. "
Maintenance Supervisor		Worldwide Hotel Chain-Asia
"Letter 2 We are commencing the installation of a Fitch Fuel Catalyst on a Boiler Plant based on the success already known in other hotel properties throughout Asia. Knowing what the product can produce under “normal” operating conditions, I was set to test the Fitch Fuel Catalyst under abnormally high-carbonized Boiler conditions, which would demonstrate its ability to clean or flush the Boilers internal surface areas without the use of scrubbers, brushes or chemicals.

Bob Carlson		CARLSON OIL AND HEATING, CT Burner
"This year I decided to become involved with the Fitch in my everyday business. I own and operate an Oil Burner/Heating Service company. I bought one Fitch in-line unit to test efficiency on my Becket oil burner. I was happy to see an increase in combustion efficiency from 83% to 85% and the boiler came up to temperature quicker just by installing the Fitch unit. An increase of over 1.5% combustion efficiency is significant in my business. I recommend the Fitch Fuel Catalyst to my customers through a mailer and have sold and installed numerous units. We conduct the efficiency tests before and after the Fitch installations and in every case improvement is achieved. Thanks for the great product. "

"This is to certify that Advanced Energy Systems has installed F-750 Fitch Fuel Catalyst in our system boiler. This catalyst was tested by their distributor with our engineers. The test was carried out for a period of 30 days. Towards the end of this period, fuel savings of 15%(approx.) was observed. Since we are switching over to CNG, this instrument is now being recommended to be used in our other hotels for purposes of fuel savings. "
Director of Research		SR Mjol, Iceland
"SR Mjol has just ordered 6 more FITCH® emission control units for their furnaces Each unit is rated at 2750 bhp. They are set up as single units for the smaller furnaces and double units for the larger furnaces. This makes a total of 19 units delivered. They also took delivery of 10 smaller units for their fleet of diesel forklift trucks early in 1995. "

General Manager		Mill - New Dehli India
"We have installed one Fitch Fuel Catalyst unit F-1000 in our Revomax Steam Boiler (Capacity 600,000 K Cal.) at our plant in Naraina. We are pleased to observe a drop in the rate of fuel consumption by approximately 9% with the same amount of heat as a result of the installation of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. We hope to recover the cost of our investment of the catalyst in less than three months time."
HUCTE FARMS		PORT WILLIAMS, N.S.
"Re: Slant Fin Furnace, Riello 40 Burner ...We have run 3 sessions of production with the Fitch unit and have found about a 15% savings in fuel consumption. This has translated into about a $900.00 savings during the combined three session's period. There is no doubt that the Fitch Fuel Catalyst has performed as well if not better than you said it would. We now plan to install units on all of our other furnaces through out our whole operation. "

"Re: WEIL-MCLEAN BOILER WITH 1.35 NOZZLE. The purpose was to test emission reductions with the fitch fuel catalyst. The test equipment was an enerac model 3000. The following changes were noted: Test Results CO CO2 NO2 SO2 Baseline 16 ppm 13.9% 126 ppm 95 ppm With FFC 0 ppm 11.8% 93 ppm 68 ppm % Change 100% 15.1% 26.2% 28.4% "
GRANDVIEW MANOR		BERWICK N.S. Canda
"Re: 50 HP VOLCANO STARFIRE BOILERS with Weishaupt Burners ...When comparing the brightness of the flame with the Fitch catalyst to that of the furnace without, the Fitch equipped burner burns much brighter. When it came time to clean the furnace this year, the furnace equipped with the Fitch had far less burner residue and what little residue there was, cleaned away easily. "
ORCHARD CREST FARMS		BILLTOWN N.S, Canada
"Application=Propane....at the end of the session we compared the numbers again and found that the cost of operation showed a savings difference of $565.19 less for barn#1 than barn#2. A noticeable difference. This translates into about a 18% to 20% savings in fuel not to mention the extra size of barn#1. We are very pleased with the results from using the Fitch Fuel Catalyst....I would recommend this product to all who wish to save fuel and cut down on emissions.... "

"(HB BOILER WITH A POWER FLAME BURNER) you can produce the same stack temperature as before the Fitch in 33% less time. You should show oil savings of at least 10%. Also, since the oil burner is burning cleaner and over a shorter period of time, the maintenance cost should be lowered"
P HANCOCK		COLDBROOK,N.S. Canada
"I have used over 700 liters less this past winter and the sooting problem has been pretty well eliminated. The unit has paid for itself in the first year and saved me money besides. Now it will continue to make me money, so to speak, for the next 4 years! "

"on our home hot water furnace we were able to immediately drop from a 1.25 gallon per hour nozzle to a 1. gph nozzle.... on our hot air furnace we dropped from a 1. gph nozzle to .85 gph nozzle....."

"(Colombian furnace with AFG Beckett Burner with 0.85 gph nozzle) after the Fitch installation stack temperatures increased 45 degrees. The nozzle was then reduced to a 0.75 gph nozzle with a savings of 12%." "

"a new design Vaillant furnace with a high efficiency Riello burner. The .9 gph nozzle was reduced to a .75 gph nozzle resulting in a fuel savings in excess of 16%"
JF		Camden, ME
"a Peerless Jottw275 Boiler with a Beckett burner rated at 2.75 gph, equipped with a 2.25 nozzle. The stack temperature increased 50 degrees after the fitch was installed. The nozzle was reduced to bring greater savings."
TS		MILWAUKEE, WI
"A MILWAUKEE THERMO-FLOW with a .75gph 80 degree solid tip. Stack temperatures increased and the tip size was then reduced to a .65 gph so fuel efficiency was greatly increased. "

"I am obviously pleased with the decrease in the fuel use with the same amount of heat as a result of installing the Fitch Fuel Catalyst"
Dave Peck		New Fairfield, CT
"during each of the three seasons the the unit has been in place i have saved more than 100 gallons of fuel. That means that i recovered the cost of the unit in the first year! "
Eddie Draper		BriteLyt, Inc.
"Dear Fitch, Just a few words to let you know that we have completed our test using kerosene, gasoline, and old BioDiesel, using the same Fitch Fuel Catalyst. These catalysts are designed to be used for a lifetime, by the way, so no need to remove and replace them. Simply leave it in your tank. Testing of all the fuels (kerosene, gasoline, & biodiesel) we noticed the following: 1. Shorter pre-heating time. Knocked off 10 - 15% of the preheating time. 2. Bright light. Just looking at it, you will see a much brighter light. Totally, amazing!! 3. With old biodiesel (very thick - over 3 yrs. old) the lantern worked, flawlessly as though the biodiesel was brand new. Worked more like kerosene easier startup, bright/white light, and with no odor. 4. Decreased odors, and, in some cases, no odor. 5. Pumping time was decreased for all three fuels. . We did not have to add pressure to the lantern, for approx. 2 - 4 hrs. During the initial run-time of 8 hrs. Eddie only had to apply pressure to the lanterns 1 - 2 times. 6. Cleaner burn, around the mantle (glass did not fog up or build up) & no "pulsating" was observed. 7. Fuel Efficiency Increase: 1-Quart of fuel ran 1 - 2 hours longer, than normal. Eddie uses these lanterns, while fishing, so he takes the opportunity to test new products, during that time. Lucky, fella!!!! Needless to say, BriteLyt, Inc. is extremely impressed, with the overall performance of the Fitch Fuel Catalyst. Overall, I would recommend this product to be used in the lanterns we sell, as our testing was based on periods of testing the lantern for a 3-day period, at 8-hr and 12-hr. intervals. We used Fitch Fuel Catalyst in old fishing lanterns too, with excellent results. Thank you and God Bless"
