ALM's unique combustion and blade cooling design leads to low NOx and the reduction of other emissions for the following reasons:

1.    The dilution zone in the combustor has been eliminated. This reduces residence time and lowers NOx (and also has the benefit of significantly increasing efficiency). 

2.    A high percentage of ballast gas significantly lowers combustion temperatures which leads to lower NOx.

3.    A high percentage of ballast gas dilutes the oxygen which slows down the chemical kinetic reactions of the pollutants, and which lowers NO.

4.    ALM has also developed a novel patent pending "reactor" which reforms diesel and various other fuels, which further lowers NOx and CO.
