Description

Methanol is one of the most viable clean fuels to cut greenhouse gas emissions and help meet global decarbonisation targets. Indeed, full carbon neutrality can be achieved by using “green methanol”. Methanol also reduces other emissions such as SOx, NOx, and particulates compared to diesel oil.

With the energy efficiency design (EEDI) and emissions reduction requirements in mind, the use of methanol as a maritime fuel is likely to gain momentum.

The Auramarine Methanol Supply Unit supplies methanol from the service tank to the Master Fuel Valve whilst and at same time regulating the flow, pressure and temperature of the methanol. All this, combined with filtration, ensures it is suitable for engines and other methanol consumers. The system actively maintains the supply pressure within the specified tolerances during load changes.

Functions of Auramarine Methanol Supply Unit

• Fuel supply to consumer
• Fuel consumption measurement
• Pressure control
• Temperature control
• Filtration
• Shut-off valves for safe maintenance
• Automatic draining and inerting
• Fuel valve train and water injection available as option

For dual fuel engines operating on methanol, there is always a backup system that kicks in immediately if a disturbance is detected in the methanol combustion.

Auramarine HFO and MGO units are suitable for backup purposes and they are already trusted and proven in current LNG-operated vessels.

These units are built to always maintain the engine-specific fuel temperatures and other requirements.
