Dual Fuel Power Station refers to an energy station that uses both fuel and gas as fuel, with an internal combustion engine as the prime mover to drive a generator and convert mechanical energy into electrical and thermal energy. It can use a mixture of fuel (diesel or heavy oil) and gas (natural gas or methanol) as fuel, or operate solely on fuel in the absence of gas.


The unit can quickly and flexibly switch between gas and fuel, and the optimized design of the combustion chamber ensures that both fuels have very low fuel consumption rates during combustion. It possesses both the excellent and reliable performance of fuel powered generators and the economic and environmental advantages of gas-fired generators. Suitable for locations with insufficient or unstable gas supply.


When the load of the unit does not reach 20%, the unit is completely driven by fuel. As the load continues to increase, gas (including natural gas and methanol) begins to be injected and mixed with fuel for combustion. As the load increases, the amount of gas input (up to 80% or more) will correspondingly increase. By mixing gas and fuel, fuel costs have been greatly reduced. The unit can not only use conventional fuel as fuel, but also partially replace fuel with gas, greatly reducing operating costs and emissions pollution. Suitable gas fuels: pipeline natural gas PNG, liquefied natural gas LNG, methanol, compressed natural gas CNG, oilfield associated gas, etc.


Advantages of Dual Fuel Power Station:

1. Flexible operation: can quickly start and provide optimal performance;

2. High cost-effectiveness, clean and environmentally friendly: high efficiency, low emissions, such as low CO2 and NOx emissions, almost no SOx and particulate emissions;

3. The cost of gas fuel is often lower than that of liquid petrochemical fuel;

4. Removable: There are several types of engines that can provide a transition from running on liquid fuel to running on natural gas;

5. Fuel flexibility: Dual fuel power plants use natural gas, diesel, or heavy oil. If a fuel becomes difficult to obtain or too expensive, you can simply switch to another fuel source;

6. Stable and reliable output: Dual fuel engines can switch from gas to liquid fuel operation at full load, and vice versa, without any output or speed fluctuations during the switch;

7. Strong environmental adaptability, with high and stable rated values in high-temperature and high-altitude areas.
