Methanol-Powered: Emission Reduction Pioneer, Power of Choice

The methanol production process is carried out under high temperature and high pressure with fully enclosed equipment. The discharge of waste gas, waste water and solid waste meets the standards. The solid waste residue is used in the production of building materials, and the sulfides in raw coal are converted into by-products such as sulfur and sulfuric acid for comprehensive utilization. It is an effective way for the clean utilization of coal resources in China.

If methanol enters the environment, the resulting harm is relatively slight. Because in the natural environment, methanol can be degraded by microorganisms. At the same time, due to its high solubility in water, methanol is quickly diluted by surface water and groundwater. Therefore, in the environment, the generation and degradation of methanol are widely distributed and naturally balanced.

In addition, methanol is making rapid progress as a marine Fuel. In case of an accident leading to a large amount of methanol leakage into water, the impact of methanol on aquatic animals is much smaller than that of gasoline. Taking fish as an example, the median lethal dose of methanol is 15400mg/L, while that of heavy Oil and diesel, which are widely used as marine fuels, is 79mg/L and 65mg/L respectively, about 194 times and 237 times that of methanol. The median lethal dose of gasoline reaches 8.2mg/L, 1878 times that of methanol. That is to say, the toxicity of methanol to aquatic animals (fish, crustaceans, mollusks, etc.) is far less than that of other marine fuels such as gasoline and diesel.

Therefore, methanol fuel is increasingly widely used in engines and shows significant advantages. Take the FARIZON methanol series engines as an example. They have fully switched to the second-generation independent methanol control system and use M100 methanol Clean energy. Comprehensive improvements have been made in efficient combustion, low-temperature starting, intelligent hybrid power, emission control, corrosion and wear resistance, resulting in excellent performance of high performance, low fuel consumption, high reliability and low emissions. These have been fully verified in application conditions such as generator sets, marine engines and engineering machinery.

In terms of performance, this series of engines adopts a high compression ratio, high-energy ignition, high-tumble intake port structure, and optimizes the valve timing mechanism, and uses technologies such as intake turbocharging and intercooling to make combustion more sufficient and power stronger, which can meet the demand for strong power of various equipment in non-road fields. Through the optimization of combustion by the methanol control system, the engine has more excellent fuel economy, low use cost and high cost performance. Compared with Diesel Engines, it can save 20% in economy, which can effectively reduce the operating cost for non-road equipment with long-term high-intensity operation.

In terms of high reliability, this series of engines adheres to the concept of high-quality development. Considerations are made from multiple aspects and dimensions such as technical routes, CAE analysis, and test verification, so that the product quality is reliable and the service life is long. The B10 life is ≥ 1.2 million kilometers, and it can operate stably in harsh environments such as mines and infrastructure, reducing downtime losses caused by equipment failures. In terms of emission control, as methanol is a recognized clean energy, compared with conventional fuels such as gasoline and diesel, its combustion is more sufficient and complete. Therefore, the emissions of CO, HC and NOx in the exhaust of this series of engines are significantly reduced, with almost no particulate emissions, and emissions have been significantly reduced.which is consistent with the emission reduction performance of methanol fuel in road vehicles, further confirming the prominent advantages of methanol fuel in environmental protection.

From the environmental protection characteristics of methanol fuel itself, to the excellent performance of methanol engines in road and non-road fields, and then to the remarkable results in practical applications, it fully shows that methanol-fueled engines conform to the current global emission reduction trend, are an important path to achieve clean energy and promote sustainable development, and it is an inevitable result to become the general trend.
