No flares but electricity Jacob KLIMSTRA Wärtsilä Power Plants 150 Gm 3 /year flared 6% of worldwide gas use 1.5% of Total Primary Energy Supply

A reciprocating engine + generator : the solution

Example: High fuel efficiency of a reciprocating engine Electric power (%) Fraction of fuel input (%) flat efficiency Heat fraction Combined efficiency electrical efficiency

The common Otto-cycle gas engine: the challenge of gas quality – Knock resistance: methane number > 60 – Dry, sweet and free of condensates and particles But: we have the Gas-Diesel engine GD Exhaust Intake

The gas – diesel (GD) working principle – Diesel fuel serves as the igniter – Gas is injected simultaneously with the diesel – Knocking can not occur Exh Air IntakeCompression of Air Injection of Gas and Pilot Fuel Ignition Exh Air

GD Gas operation mode Constant fuel amount at % of 100 % load Load % Fuel Share % Gas Liquid

Fuel specs for the GD

Reference: Dygoil Dygoil, Equador – 2 x Wärtsilä ® 16V32GD – 11MWe – The power plant started up in March 2004, and it operates with oil field associated gas as the main fuel, and Crude oil as supplementary fuel – The plant is designed to utilize the associated gas and to minimize the need for flaring, and unnecessary CO 2 emissions are avoided

No power problem if the gas flow varies diesel pilot gas and oil share adjustable Fuel Sharing Fuel oil operation Engine load% Gas share % Diesel share % GD operation Transfer window Fuel Sharing
