Advantages Over Competition
• Capability to adjust to changing gas quality found in associated gas
applications. Operation up to 2300* Btu/scf/55% inerts.
– Tested MN32 at 100% load => 22% substitution
– Tested MN32 at 40% load => 66% substitution
– Tested MN40/55% inerts at 50% load =>52% substitution
• Single supplier: whole generator set covered by unrestricted
warranty
• Maintenance unaffected in most cases (exception with high H2S
levels)
• No re-commissioning when changing site; diesel lubricating oil
suitable
• Emissions improvement and certification: certifications possible in
some cases, reviewed on a case-by-case basis

Advantages Over Competition
• ECU management: gas and diesel under common monitoring,
control, and protection
• Engine timing constantly and automatically adjusted to optimize
substitution and protect the engine
Advantages Over Competition

• On-engine fuel heater


to prevent gas
condensation and
engine damage
• In-engine flame
arresters for
safety/protection
