Use the soot (obtained as dissolved in water) to make ink to ultimately make the process self-sustainable and bring down the processing cost to negligible amounts by accounting for commercial selling of this ink obtained. This will also further reduce environmental repercussions as soot now is converted into a useful product, rather than being dumped into the environment

Hence, through optimization, we aim to finally reach a design which gets the engine to work efficiently at even higher trade-off points. Conventionally, diesel engines are operated at temperature ranges which are not very high, as operation at high temperature leads to higher amount of NOx in the exhaust. Thus, they are always operated at a trade-off temperature lower than these high temperature values, to reduce NOx emission, however, also leading to a decrease in the engine’s efficiency, and increased amounts of CO and soot emission (due to more unburnt C content in the exhaust now). SC-R’s are not efficient enough, and thus, do not lead to a significant increase in the trade-off temperature. Thus, if an efficient and cost effective design of this NRFA driven pollution crusader device is realized, it would bring about a remarkable change in the automobile and diesel engine industry, and increase the efficiency of these devices, while reducing both the cost, and carbon footprints on the environment. </h2>
