March 2014 Test Report Aboard M/Y Mia Elise
Explore the testing results for clean-exhaust systems powered by ecoBrew™. This report, conducted in March 2014 aboard M/Y Mia Elise, provides valuable insights.
Test Report by 1st Officer David Poole of MIA ELISE
clean-exhaust System was installed on board Motor Yacht Mia Elise 1 year ago. During this time the system has worked wonders in keeping exhaust emissions down as well as keeping black suet off the hull. Captain Ted Sputh the president of clean-exhaust System recently came aboard the Yacht to see if we were still satisfied with the system.
During his time aboard we conducted the following test: Thursday the 20 March 2014 both port and starboard side hull was washed. This was completed at 1400 and once the hull was dry blue tape was placed in an area close to the exhaust. The clean-exhaust system was turned on with a 30% Load on the Generator and 25 BPM of the echoBrewl8. The weather during this time was fair with a light easterly wind. The vessel stayed at the dock until Sunday the 23 March where she then traveled for two hours.
On Monday the 24 March at 10:00 the Blue tape was removed to see how much black suet had stuck to the hull as well as running our hand over the surface. After observing the results with Captain Ted as well as 3 deck crew and the engineer it was quite evident that there was no black suit on neither the tape nor our hands. The area where the tape was matched the clean surface adjacent to it.
I can conclude that the eco-brew was a great success. We then turned off the System and monitored the suet build up on both port and starboard for two days. The result was irrefutable that, without the system turned on the suet and emissions into the atmosphere and water were quite prevalent. I would highly recommend the clean-exhaust System to any vessel needing to cut down on exhaust emissions as well as suet build up. We are certainly satisfied and will continue to use the system indefinitely.

MIA ELISE Clean Hull Assessment
MIA ELISE clean hull, Day 1
clean-exhaust on
MIA ELISE Day 3
hull clean no soot
MIA ELISE, 18 hours later with clean-exhaust turned off
Finger drag across hull produced no particulate
Wiped an X with a rag
Observed: Streaks on hull, very dirty, oil and particulate floating on water next to exhaust with clean-exhaust off
Conclusion: clean-exhaust close to 100% effective in eliminating particulate on the hull and in the water
