Cause Cause
Methane slip is an important environmental concern for the modern dual fuel
engine. This causes great harm to our environment by affecting Ozone layer. It
has also high global warming potential (GWP). This also impact the MARPOL
Annex-VI regulation 12 (Ozone depleting substance). Many of our industry
practitioners and Marine engineers and Marine Engineering students do not
have the clear idea about this methane Slip. They are also not sure about how
this methane slip occurs in the Marine dual fuel engine. Many of them are
confused between Methane leakage and methane slip in the dual fuel engine.
To provide a basic picture to them about this methane slip and menthe leakage
in a brief frame, I develop this “Graphical model of Methane Leakage” from
the dual fuel engine. Hope this will be helpful to my industry people and
academics who are working with dual fuel engine.
