Multivista launches Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kits in Nigeria

As Nigeria experiences significant industrialization and urbanization, the demand for reliable power generation has intensified. While diesel generators have historically served as a dependable backup power source, their conventional operation carries implications regarding emissions and operational expenses. In a notable development, Multivista West Africa Limited, yesterday at the Marriot Hotel, Ikeja, introduced the innovative Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kits for Diesel Generators. This advancement is poised to enhance power generation by integrating efficiency, environmental responsibility, and economic advantages.

In the current competitive industrial and commercial environment, optimizing operational expenditures is critical. For organizations utilizing diesel generators for either backup or primary power, fuel represents a significant cost driver impacting profitability. Multivista West Africa Limited presents a strategic solution: the Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kit. This advanced technology enables diesel generators to operate using a blend of diesel and natural gas, thereby delivering considerable cost reductions and environmental advantages.

Operational Mechanism of the Dual Fuel System:

The Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kit is engineered for seamless integration with existing diesel generator infrastructure. The system injects natural gas into the combustion chamber concurrently with diesel fuel. A sophisticated, proprietary control system precisely regulates the fuel mixture ratio to ensure optimized combustion efficiency and maintain robust engine performance, offering a cleaner and more economical alternative. This Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kits can be used on both Kirloskar diesel generators and other brands as well. Thus, giving you an Efficient and Environmentally Responsible Power Generation

• Precise Ignition Control: Diesel fuel is precisely injected to initiate combustion, serving as the pilot ignition source for the natural gas.
• Dynamic Fuel Management: The control system continuously monitors key engine parameters, including load demand and exhaust gas temperature, to dynamically optimize the natural gas-to-diesel ratio in real-time. This process ensures highly efficient combustion and mitigates potential issues such as misfires or incomplete combustion.
• Operational Flexibility: The system supports seamless transitioning between diesel-only and dual fuel operation modes, offering adaptability based on fuel availability and specific operational needs.

Principal Advantages of Dual Fuel Implementation:

• Substantial Operating Cost Reduction: Capitalizing on natural gas, which typically offers a lower price point compared to diesel, organizations can realize significant reductions in fuel expenditure. The magnitude of savings is contingent upon regional natural gas pricing and the proportion of natural gas utilized in the fuel blend.
• Enhanced Environmental Compliance and Sustainability: Decreased consumption of diesel results in a reduction of key emissions, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2). This proactively supports compliance with evolving environmental regulations and reinforces corporate sustainability objectives.
• Optimized Fuel Utilization: Dual fuel operation frequently leads to improved overall fuel efficiency relative to solely diesel-powered operation. This improvement is attributed to the higher energy density of natural gas and the optimization achieved by the dual fuel combustion process.
• Heightened Operational Agility: The capability for seamless switching between fuel modes provides critical operational agility, enabling adaptation to fluctuations in fuel costs, supply chain dynamics, and regulatory landscapes.
• The sophisticated electronic controller within Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kits continuously monitors critical engine parameters. It facilitates a seamless transition between ‘Dual Fuel’ and ‘Diesel Only’ modes if pre-configured thresholds are surpassed, safeguarding engine integrity. When operating in Dual Fuel mode, engines equipped with the dual fuel kits maintain diesel-like performance characteristics in vital areas such as efficiency, stability, and load acceptance. The dual fuel configuration permits engine operation with gas constituting 50% to 70% of the total fuel consumption.

Applicable Sectors:

The Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kit is well-suited for implementation across various sectors, including:

• Industrial Sector: Manufacturing facilities, processing plants, and diverse industrial operations demanding reliable and economically efficient power generation.
• Commercial Sector: Critical infrastructure such as data centers, healthcare facilities, and other commercial establishments requiring uninterrupted power supply.
• Remote and Off-Grid Sites: Locations not connected to the primary grid but possessing access to natural gas infrastructure.

Alignment with Federal Government Initiatives

Kirloskar Dual Fuel Kits for Diesel Generators are in accordance with the Nigerian government’s objectives of promoting cleaner and more efficient energy solutions. The Federal Government of Nigeria policies and incentives support the adoption of technologies that mitigate emissions and improve energy efficiency. As seen in the Presidential CNG Initiative (PCNGI). By selecting Kirloskar Fuel Kits from Multivista West Africa Limited, businesses can leverage these incentives while demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship.
