Reductions
Operation Cost Approx. 30% less
Reduction in Operation Cost will fluctuate because of
the operation conditions of engines and the price level of
fuel oil and natural gas in a project site.
CO2 Emission 30% less
SOx Emission 95% less
NOx Emission 20% less
(comparing with diesel oil
firing)

Multi-Fuel Engine
A multi-fuel engine is one which would operate
satisfactorily with substantially unchanged
performance and efficiency, on a wide verity of
ranging from diesel oil, crude oil to lighter fuels like
gasoline and even normal lubrication oil.
Mainly developed for Military requirements.
Has good idling and part load efficiency and low
exhaust smoke.
Should have high compression ratios as in a pre-
combustion chamber, additional heat loss due to
throat occur (e.g., spherical or m-combustion
chamber ).
14
Advantages of Dual Fuel
Engine
Increased utility of power plant as the versatility of
change-over the form gas to diesel and vice-versa.
15
Can be used to produce synthetic gas, which is a
mixture of CO and H2
16
Disadvantages
Tendency of vapor lock while using lighter fuels.
Tendency of increased wear due to lower lubricity
of gasoline.
Requirement for injecting different volumes of
fuel depending on their heating values and
compressibility.
17
conclusion
Without much more modification of CI engine
Biogas can be used as a primary fuel.
Quality of fuel is important factor for performance
of the engine.
Duel fuel engine generally used for power
generation with long term period.
80 to90 % of diesel can replace by biogas.
Increasing the compression ratio improved the
performance and cylinder pressure of the engine.
