Charting a course toward sustainable value creation in a low-carbon future

As the world course-directs toward more sustainable practices, organizations seek to minimize emissions and maximize the efficiency and flexibility of engines, equipment, machinery, and processes. With a multitude of sustainability enhancing options out there, a clear picture of their business value – and the best way to combine them – is key to thriving as you go green.

 

Taking a holistic approach to sustainability investments

Energy-intensive industries and those with high-volume consumption, such as marine shipping, are focal points of global sustainability initiatives. Goal-based mechanisms like standards and mandatory objectives for emission levels and efficiency rates serve to spur sectors towards greener operations. As a result, buying decisions around sustainability enhancements can no longer be single-purpose investments with a narrow focus.

Unlock the synergetic benefits

Every resource-friendly solution you opt for is a building block in your compliance strategy. It needs to drive your overall business goals while propelling you forward on your chosen trajectory toward greener operations. To unlock their synergetic benefits, however, sustainability investments, from upgraded parts to small-footprint solutions, need to complement and build on each other.

Make every contribution count

Sustainability-enhancing solutions ensure eligibility for subsidies. They allow vessels to operate in emission control areas (ECA). And, they can boost the performance and service life of turbines, engines and equipment, all while helping organizations meet their Paris Agreement targets. Sustainability solutions contribute to a multitude of business objectives, and they can serve multiple goals at the same time. It pays off to take a closer look at the multidimensional benefits of a sustainability investment you’re considering.

Get a clear picture of your options

Your best resource for insight into optimization options is the expert most familiar with the engines, equipment, and machinery that lay at the core of your processes. Leverage their expertise by offering context. Share your objectives, whether you seek a higher class of energy efficiency standards or an interim solution before deploying more disruptive technology. OEM-level experts can tap a treasure trove of R&D expertise and reference cases to give you a clear view of a recommended solution. They help you assess scalability, return on investment, and the benefits to your operation. Just as important, they have the hands-on cross-industry experience to deliver solutions on-time and on-budget.

Enhance fuel flexibility

Engines and gas turbines have the potential to use various fuel types. In the face of more stringent regulations and fluctuating fuel prices, upgrading to dual-fuel capability comes with substantial economic and environmental advantages.

Dual-fuel engine upgrades enable a smooth transition to low-emission fuels in marine shipping

Upgrading propulsion systems to burn – and switch – between different fuel types boosts operational security in marine shipping. MAN PrimeServ’s innovative solutions for more fuel flexibility not only give ship owners access to more sustainable fuel types, from LNG to light diesel. They facilitate their efforts to meet the IMO regulations, such as the Global Sulphur Cap.

Fuel flexibility drives the profitability of applications in power generation and the oil and gas industry

Upgrading gas turbines to expand the range of utilized gas types, from hydrogen to flare gas, improves the flexibility and sustainability of your operation without impacting performance.

Reduce emissions

Industries across sectors prioritize different approaches to meet the dynamics of their respective markets. This is why our portfolio covers all approaches to reducing the emission from existing assets:

  • Revamps and retrofits that prevent emissions by improving energy efficiency at the source.
  • New technologies that help close the carbon loop
  • Exhaust gas treatment retrofits that cut emissions using filter systems and/or catalyzers.

The most cost-effective way to lower emissions, however, is improving energy efficiency levels. This is the classic low-hanging fruit of sustainability efforts. Solutions for heat recovery and pressures utilization, for example, optimize machine train processes, boosting efficiency and cutting emissions. Retrofits for preventing leakage, on the other hand, achieve both objectives while improving operational reliability. From replacing combustion chambers in gas turbines, upgrading to sensor-controlled fuel supply, your options are vast.

At MAN PrimeServ, we help you identify the solution most effective in meeting your emission targets. And we provide OEM-level services for on-time and on-budget implementation.
