Achieving the Full Potential of Low-cost, Low Carbon Technologies
April 28, 2021
NexTier, NOV
Low carbon technologies have advanced significantly over the last several years with the advent of Tier IV dual fuel capable of displacing 80%+ of the diesel demand, and other power generation products with improved thermal efficiency. Emission-related performance with these technologies may vary but often falls short of their full potential due in small part to the engine and dual fuel kits and in a much bigger way, the fuel supply. We will discuss engines, dual fuel kits, natural gas options, and how to harmonize all the variables to drive peak performance and more importantly sustained and consistent results.
