Dual fuel engines run on mixture both environmentally friendly Main fuel and Fuel oil.
The Dual Fuel Engine solutions allows conventional diesel engines to operate on a mixture of environmentally friendly main fuel and fuel oil. The Main fuel refers to a clean, low-carbon, or renewable environmentally friendly fuel selected by the user, and Main fuels suitable for dual fuel generator sets include Natural gas, Liquid ammonia, and Methanol, etc. The Fuel oil refers to MGO (Diesel oil) and HFO, wherein the MGO is the pilot oil and also the fuel. Fuel oil can be easily stored in fuel tanks.
The advantage of the dual fuel technology is without a doubt its fuel flexibility. This technology makes it possible to utilise the economic and environmental superiority of gas fuel, although its conditions for use cannot (yet) be reliably ensured in the short term. Our dual fuel engines are the appropriate solution for gas operation.
Gas is suitable for our gas engines. The benefits of natural gas are low price and good environmental compatibility, thanks to its clean combustion. A disadvantage is that the infrastructure to ensure a safe and continuous availability is not yet in place. This is essential for the operation of pure gas engines.
If the availability of natural gas or methanol is not reliable, the power plant can still produce electricity with our dual fuel engines. If the supply of gas fuel is interrupted, the engine is simply operated in liquid fuel mode. The liquid fuel is simply stored in tanks.
In addition to gas fuels (including natural gas, liquid ammonia or methanol), our medium speed dual fuel engines are able to run on all other fuels suitable for our liquid fuel engines. These range from liquid biofuel to distillates (MDO/MGO), crude oil and HFO.
