Mirenco Participates in Renewable Diesel Workshop 

Mirenco Technology Highlighted in Diesel Workshop Expo

Radcliffe, IA – October 4, 2001 – Mirenco (OTCBB: MREO) joined a number of industry constituents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the Renewable Diesel Workshop held on October 3rd. The U.S Department of Energy Office of Fuels Development, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Energy Bureau, the Iowa Department of Agriculture, the Iowa Soybean Promotion Board, and a long-time customer of Mirenco, Five Seasons Transportation and Parking of Cedar Rapids sponsored the event.

As a long-time user of Mirenco’s technologies, Five Seasons Transportation operates the transit system for Cedar Rapids and has earned both energy efficiency and clean environment honors.

Five Seasons’ Executive Director, Bill Hoekstra, commented on their use of technologies during a key workshop presentation, "Everything we use has to stand on its own merits.... the last thing we want to have is our buses emitting black smoke. We all know what black smoke is. It’s unburned fuel."

Five Seasons employs a number of technologies including Mirenco supplied electronics as well as a bio-diesel blend of fuel. Through the intelligent application of effective technologies, Five Seasons has extended the life of their fleet while maintaining operational and environmental efficiencies. Ranging in age from 1978 to 1982, Five Seasons’ buses are virtually smoke-free, producing an average emissions measurement of 6.33%. In comparison to new buses, this emissions level is extraordinary, as even today’s newest engine technology will often produce emissions in the 5-10% range.

Mirenco was invited to attend the event and provide a real time demonstration at the Expo session of the Workshop. Using a Five Seasons bus installed with Mirenco’s DriverMax and Robotic Arm, before and after demonstrations were provided with real time emissions monitoring equipment from Red Mountain engineering. Additionally a complete Five Seasons fleet profile chart was provided highlighting the individual and combined effects of Mirenco’s technologies along with the B20 bio-diesel blend of fuel.

During the Workshop Expo, participants witnessed the emissions reductions firsthand on a 1978 Five Seasons bus. Using real time emissions monitoring equipment, without Mirenco’s DriverMax, emissions were quite visible, measuring 16.3%. After engaging Mirenco’s DriverMax, the emissions measurement was reduced to a completely invisible 4.79% (71% reduction). Mr. Hoekstra commented, "We’re as clean or cleaner than the newest fleets in California."

Complete press packages and emissions records were provided at the Workshop and are available by contacting Mirenco directly.
