<Diesel Mode>

Compression

Combustion

Advantages :

DF engines can operate at 100% load using only diesel oil in case of need
Fuel gas : 95%
Intake Compression

Fuel oil : 5%

<Dual Fuel Mode>

Features of Dual Fuel Engine


Less operation cost Main fuel : Natural Gas Environmental friendly Drastic reduction of NOx, SOx & CO2 emission Stable operation Pilot injection system Operatable on either fuel of natural gas or diesel oil Excellent dependability Main component : Diesel engine Clean combustion and Less maintenance cost Effective utilization of existing assets

Reductions

-4-

Operation Cost

Approx. 30% less

*Reduction in Operation Cost will fluctuate because of the operation conditions of engines and the price level of fuel oil and natural gas in a project site.

CO2 Emission SOx Emission NOx Emission

30% less 95% less 20% less
