1.9 Fire prevention and environmental protection, fluids and
lubricants, auxiliary materials, specific information for
gaseous fuel supply in gaseous-fuel or dual-fuel applications
General notes on gas
Observe the information contained in the safety data sheet of the gas used. Consult with gas supplier/utility.
The gas used must comply with the (→ Fluids and Lubricants Specifications of the manufacturer).
Risk of poisoning due to hazardous impurities. The ingestion of even small quantities of hydrogen sulfide or
ammonia can be fatal.
Inhaling certain gases can be dangerous to life depending on concentration. Furthermore some gases can no
longer be detected by smell in higher concentrations.
Conduct in case of escaping gases:
• If safe to do so: Shut off main gas supply.
• If safe to do so: Execute an emergency stop.
• Cordon off danger zone.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not enter the hazard zone until it has been established (via measurement of the gas concentration with
a suitable gas detector) that the atmosphere is no longer hazardous.
Check all gas conveying lines for tightness prior to initial operation and at regular intervals during operation.
Natural gas (pipeline quality)

Highly flammable gas; forms an explosive mixture with air/oxygen.
Weakly narcotic gas; risk of suffocation at high concentrations.
Biogenic gases from fermentation processes

Highly flammable gas; forms an explosive mixture with air/oxygen.
Risk of poisoning due to hydrogen sulfide from the fermentation process. The ingestion of even small quanti-
ties of hydrogen sulfide can be fatal.
Weakly narcotic gas; risk of suffocation at high concentrations.
Biogenic gases have a tendency to segregate. In low-lying areas of the plant, carbon dioxide enrichment is
possible.

4.4 Control, starting and stopping sequences
NOTICE
Risk of engine damage due to incorrect action.
Risk of severe damage to property!
• Ensure engine is ready for operation before starting. See engine documentation.
Starting and stopping sequences

The starting sequence is software-controlled and depends on the place of start command input.
To ensure that no mixture is in the engine when ignition is switched on or off, which is a specific requirement
for gas engines, special procedures for engine start / stop are specified.
The maximum number of attempted starts is limited to three. After this, an extended scavenging phase is
initiated with the gas shut-off valves closed and the ignition off in order to purge the intake duct, engine cyl-
inders and exhaust duct (up to the exhaust turbine outlet elbow) with air. The operator shall ensure by means
of structural safeguards that flammable gases or vapors do not arise in hazardous quantities or concentra-
tions in the surroundings of the installation (gas pipework up to gas control valve and exhaust gas system
after turbine). A contact is designated to initiate such safety measures.
Starting sequence
The following steps are performed automatically when a start command is activated with the engine at stand-
still:
1. Setting start counter
2. Priming (optional)
3. Checking gas supply solenoid valves for leaks
4. Activating starter
5. Waiting for starting speed
6. Scavenging the engine
7. Ignition
8. Opening gas supply solenoid valves
9. Waiting for starter disengagement speed
10. Disengaging starter
11. Waiting for idling speed
12. Ramping-up to rated speed
Start termination
1. The maximum number of attempted starts is limited to three following start termination
2. An alarm is then signaled
