Dresser Waukesha Introduces New Digital Panel for CFR Fuel Rating Units

WAUKESHA, Wis. (September 16, 2009) – Dresser® Waukesha®, the global leader in fuel quality testing equipment, has introduced a state-of-the-art digital control panel that is a significant enhancement for its CFR® octane rating unit.

Dresser Waukesha’s new XCP™ Digital Octane Panel delivers greater control and improved
functionality to the octane rating process. The new panel addresses the needs of today’s test
facilities for greater productivity, shorter staff training periods, reduced potential for error and
more consistent test results from one operator to another.

“The XCP Digital Octane Panel is the first release of Waukesha’s new expandable digital control platform for fuel rating,” said Alan Piller, director of fuel research. “This initial release addresses our customers’ highest priorities for updates to our octane rating unit. However, we have also designed this panel to accept upgrades as additional enhancements become available.”

The XCP Digital Octane Panel features a user-friendly touch screen with an intuitive graphical
interface that includes built-in prompts, automated calculations, on-screen reports, and data
logging. On-screen versions of the operation, maintenance and parts manuals and Internet
capability are standard features.

The new panel delivers improved documentation, with critical information for each rating
presented in bold graphics and easy-to-read charts. Data recording and fuel rating files are
generated automatically and stored in easily-accessible Microsoft® Excel® format. The XCP
panel automatically generates complete graphical test reports to eliminate the potential for error with manual recording.

The XCP Digital Octane Panel is optional on all new production units. The new panel can also
be retrofitted on CFR octane rating units built since 1970.
