FMD FINAL REPORT

Ref#: FMDFR/2563-Rev1.0

1.     Introduction:

This report outlines the evaluation of emissions reduction and fuel consumption optimization achieved by installing a FMDfuel device i.e. FMD on diesel generator of marine maintenance company, UAE. The study includes a comparison of pre- and post-installation emissions measurements, gathered using the HPC501 gas analyser. Key emissions parameters measured were hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Based on the emissions data, the fuel consumption in litres per hour (LPH) is calculated for both the pre- and post-installation phases, demonstrating the FMD's impact on improving fuel efficiency.

2.     Objective:

The primary objectives of this study are:

·       To establish baseline emissions

·       To estimate the average fuel consumption rate using an established empirical formula.

·       To establish a reference point for evaluating the performance improvements after FMD installation.

3.     Equipment Details:

Engine Make: KOMATSU

Engine Model: S6D108E-2

Engine Serial Number: 36897

Ref#: DG#1

Genset Capacity: 113 kW @ 1300 rpm, 132 kW @ 1800 rpm

4.     Methodology:

4.1  Emissions Testing procedure:

Emissions testing was conducted from the exhaust tail pipe of the diesel genset under three engine speed conditions:

·       Idle speed

·       Medium speed

·       Full speed

A calibrated HPC501 emissions analyser was used to measure the following parameters of     emissions:

·       CO2 (%)

·       HC (ppm)

·       NOx (ppm)

·       CO (%)

·       O2 (%)

 

4.2  Fuel Consumption Estimation:

Fuel consumption rate is estimated using the formula developed by Heseding and Daskalopoulos (2006) as given below:

LPH = 63.47*CO2 (vol%) * kW/fuel density (kg/m3)

Where:

LPH: Estimated fuel consumption rate (Ltr/Hour)

CO2: Average volume of measured CO2

kW: Rated capacity of genset

5.     FMD Installation:

After recording the baseline emissions data, FMD was installed on DG#1 by the team of client on 14th Feb. 2025. The device works by breaking down complex hydrocarbons into simpler molecules, enhancing fuel-air mixture combustion and thus reducing harmful emissions.

6.     Post-Installation Emissions Testing:

Post-Installation emissions testing was conducted after 250+ hours of engine operation with the FMD in place. Using the same HPC501 gas analyser, post-installation emissions data were recorded for comparison with the baseline results.

7.     Baseline Parameters:

8.     Post Installation Parameters:

9.     Comparative Analysis:

10.       Conclusion:

 The installation of the FMD fuel catalyst on the aforementioned engine resulted in a measurable reduction in fuel consumption and harmful emissions particularly CO2 levels. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the FMD technology in enhancing fuel combustion efficiency and reducing the fuel consumption and GHG impact of the engines.

Overall, the outlined objectives of lowering fuel consumption, GHG emissions & engine efficiency KPI’s were successfully achieved, contributing to both environmental and operational benefits.
