Gas-diesel (GD) technology was introduced in 1987 with the Wärtsilä 32GD, the first gas engine in the Wärtsilä portfolio. This technology was mainly used in offshore applications, although it also found applications in the power plant sector. GD technology makes it possible to run a power plant on either associated gas or crude oil,giving the operator fuel versatility and security against gas supply disturbances. The system accommodates variations in gas quality.
Wärtsilä gas-diesel technology is the solution for the power generating needs of the oil and gas industry. Thanks to Wärtsilä’s unique pilot fuel injection method for initiating combustion, associated gas can be used for power generation at the oil field. And if the supply of gas varies in quantity and quality, the answer is fuel sharing – the Wärtsilä innovation that revolutionizes the concept of fuel flexibility. What was once considered an expense, is now an asset.
