Ultra-Clean, Benzene-Free Gasoline May Become More Affordable in North America Soon

La Vista, Nebraska (PRWEB) June 20, 2012

Chase invited BioSyn to participate in a grant program offering which it co-sponsors with LivingSocial called Mission: Small Business. BioSyn responded by applying for one of its projects, which is the production and marketing of ultra-clean, benzene-free universal gasoline.

Unbeknownst to many, conventional gasoline contains, and depends on, benzene, toluene and mixed xylenes to meet octane requirements. However, benzene is a potent carcinogenic chemical, while toluene and mixed xylenes are highly toxic.

When used as fuel for passenger cars running on spark ignition engines, conventional gasoline does not pose immediate health hazard. This is because modern cars are equipped with catalytic converters that convert unburned gasoline exhausts into relatively harmless carbon dioxide and water vapor.

However, it is common practice to use conventional gasoline in yard works equipments like lawn mowers, weed cutters, snow blowers, etc. These equipments are not equipped with catalytic converters. Worse, most yard works equipments are powered by 2-cycle engines that require 2-cycle oil. Two-cycle oils do not burn and are emitted as visible smoke. In addition, 2-cycle oils contain organometallics that contribute to high toxicity of emissions.

It is for the above reasons that BioSyn developed an ultra-clean gasoline devoid of benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes, other aromatics and olefins. This industry-exclusive gasoline can also be used in 2-cycle engines without the application of 2-cycle oil, thus eliminating smoke emissions.

Currently marketed under the trade name DM-X 95G, it will be priced the same as conventional gasoline when BioSyns planned biorefinery is finally up. In meantime, DM-X 95G is marketed to nich
