New Wartsila 50DF solution reduces methane slip by 75pc

ARTSILA has introduced a new methane slip reduction solution for its Wartsila 50DF dual-fuel engine.

The technology converts the engines to spark gas operation, enhancing combustion efficiency and reducing methane emissions.

The Spark Gas Conversion for Wärtsilä 50DF reduces methane emissions by up to 75 per cent more than the standard engine.

The solution uses an electrically controlled pre-combustion chamber valve, reducing methane emissions to 1.1 per cent of fuel use on an IMO weighted (E2-cycle) average.
