Offerings
• ProDFK - Dual Fuel Kits
 Used to convert Diesel Engines to work with mixture
of Diesel and Natural Gas
 Use for stationary Power and mobile Transportation
applications
 Key Value proposition is fuel cost reduction and
emissions improvement
• ProEMS – Engine Monitoring Systems
 Helps monitor Diesel Engines using IoT technology
 Can be used to monitor not only duel fuel converted
but also Diesel and Gas engines
 Can also be used to monitor entire Power Generator

Over view
• We have been supplying dual fuel kits for stationary power
generation in India since 2015.
• The scope has been limited to pockets like Gujarat, NCR,
Assam and Godavari basin due to piped gas availablity.
• In the recent years, gas economy has taken off and over
190 cities have been authorized for City Gas Distribution.
• LNG and CNG are also being transported by road to
destinations away from the pipelines. Following this we
have made huge strides in the mining applications.
• The usage of the gas for industrial, commercial and
residential purposes is expected to rise rapidly.

DF for GenSets
• Dual Fuel operation for Stationary Power | Generator
Sets (GenSets) are feasible only if:
 Local power situation is bad because of
generation capacity or erratic T&D network. OR
 Critical manufacturing process requiring uninterrupted
power forces the use of captive DG power OR
 Local utility is taking time to close the last mile gap for
the power connection forcing the use of captive DG
OR
 Local air pollution situation is forcing users to switch
to at least partial gas operation for their DGs.
• For all above the availability of Piped gas or gas in
cascades is the primary requirement.

Duel Fuel Technology

• IC Engines are divided into

 SI - Spark Ignition: Petrol and Gas engines
 CI – Compression Ignition: Diesel Engines
• Natural Gas is cheaper greener hydrocarbon fuel
• Gas Engines are:
 Costlier
 Dependent on reliable gas supply
• ANY diesel engine can be converted to run with a mixture of Gas
and diesel using Dual Fuel Technology
• Dual Fuel Technology is cost effective, easy to
implement, has a short payback, does not derate
the engine output and does not harm the engine.

Gas Availability
• PNG - Piped Natural Gas
 Easiest to handle for stationary Power applications
 CGD’s mainly supply this by laying city wide pipelines

• LPG - Liquified Petroleum Gas | CNG - Compressed Natural Gas

 For or gas engine-based vehicles
 In rare cases for Dual fuel small engines-based transportation
 Can be supplied in cascades for stationary power

• LNG - Liquified Natural Gas

 For transfer high energy density transfer over on high seas
 Also large diesel engine vehicles like mining dumpers
 Now also transportable in land using cryogenic trucks
