Bi-fuel Caterpillar Diesel Equipment – Summary of Caterpillar Industrial Equipment/Generators

Caterpillar industrial equipment and generators are extensively used worldwide to power remote operations that require 24/7 power generation. These units come in different types, sizes, and applications and are renowned for their durability, reliability, and performance.

Caterpillar offers engines and generators that operate at constant speeds. They help power various applications, including oil and gas exploration and production, data centers, hospitals, and other critical facilities that require reliable and continuous power. This makes their products ideal candidates for technologies like OptiBlend® dual-fuel retrofit kits.

Caterpillar also manufactures variable-speed engines and equipment, such as trucks and dozers. However, these are not typically suitable for bi-fuel conversion due to the complexities of the technology and the need for more precise control of the combustion process over the range of engine speeds.

The OptiBlend® system enables gaseous fuels such as natural gas and methane to be used in addition to diesel fuel. Here’s how OptiBlend® retrofits Caterpillar diesel equipment and generators to become bi-fuel capable:

Bi-Fuel Caterpillar Equipment – Summary of Retrofit

The OptiBlend® retrofit solution provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional diesel-only power generation. It’s also a game-changer for industries such as mining, healthcare, and data centers that rely on constant and reliable power generation.

The bi-fuel technology allows Caterpillar diesel generators to operate on a combination of diesel and gaseous fuels such as natural gas or methane. This significantly reduces operating costs and CO2 and NOX emissions while extending the runtime of the diesel fuel supply.

OptiBlend® kits are designed for constant-speed fixed diesel equipment and generators in the 200kW to 2000kW power output range.

Bi-Fuel Caterpillar Diesel Equipment & OptiBlend – Summary of Caterpillar + OptiBlend

Caterpillar diesel engines fitted with OptiBlend® bi-fuel retrofit systems create a powerful and efficient solution for power generation. The proprietary OptiBlend® software and control units allow for real-time monitoring of engine parameters, ensuring proper substitution rates and engine safety. By using gaseous fuels in combination with diesel, operators can extend the runtime of their diesel fuel supply, reduce operating costs, and reduce CO2 and NOX emissions.
