Relevant Questions How many engines does the site have? Inquire about the specific engines used to obtain engine Information –Manufacturers –Model Numbers –Serial Numbers –How old are the engines? –How long can they run between rebuilds? Does the site have an analysis of the gas composition? If so, ask for a copy of the analysis.
17
Relevant Questions What oil are they using now? –What’s current oil drain interval? –What parameter are they using to set their oil drain interval? TBN, TAN, metals, etc. –How much make up oil are they adding? (weekly or daily quantity per engine) Some engines may require more make-up. Determine what operator will value: extend drain interval, reduced make-up oil, reduced down time.

Questions or Comments?
21
Why do we need different oils for different fuel sources? Biomass gas and landfill gas are much dirtier than clean methane extracted from the ground The impurities are much more acidic Require “medium ash” in Bio and Landfill, “low ash” in clean applications Landfill gas has the additional problem of a much more diverse and variable impurities content. Cow poop is pretty consistent.
