Natural Gas Alternatives Energy Conversions Inc. (ECI) designs and manufactures natural gas and dual fuel or bi fuel systems for diesel engines common to power generators, offshore drilling, industrial and locomotive industries. In the early 1990's, Energy Conversions was the first to commercially demonstrate a natural gas powered locomotive. The ECI retrofit system, which converts a General Motors EMD diesel engine to dual fuel operation (some call Bi fuel), uses electronically controlled direct fuel injection and is capable of full horsepower high fuel replacements (90%) while substantially reducing emissions. Now offering spark ignition for these engines and a system for simple conversion of four stroke diesel engines Today, ECI continues to develop and implement their natural gas systems for power generators, locomotives and various power applications worldwide while researching new avenues of alternative fuel use. Other alternative fuels that ECI has interest in, DME and Hydrogen both demonstrate very clean alternatives to todays fuels. Development in infrastructure will be the determining factor Site Topics Products & Services - Systems to operate your engines with natural gas. Also includes a description of ECI's capabilities as a research facility for engine development. Applications - ECI's natural gas systems are used in a range of industrial applications including Locomotives, Power Generation, Marine, and Offshore Drilling uses. Performance Specifications- Power ratings, fuel consumption, and emissions data for ECI conversions systems. Publications- Articles, technical papers, and testimonies written about ECI engine products. News - ECI's recent contributions in the field of natural gas use. Includes industry links. Emissions- Discussion of the emissions advantage on of an ECI conversion. Picture Gallery- Just pictures of ECI conversions. Contact ECI- A customer Questionnaire is included on this page to determine the optimum ECI system for your application. Quick links: Economizer ECI's latest product development EMD CONVERSION SYSTEMS Dual Fuel EMD system information Low Emission Idle (LEI) bank idling system ECI Dual Fuel Source book- An essay on Natural Gas and its use as a fuel source for locomotives and power generation. This publication has been around now for a while but is still a great resource for facts about Natural Gas as an alternative fuel source. CATERPILLAR CONVERSION SYSTEMS |
News Briefs
Power Generation CLH, ECI distributor in India ECI Continues to make new applications in various counties like India, Pakistan, Peru and Thailand SEN, ECI's distributor in Indonesia has applied four Economizer systems near Surabaya Napa Valley Railroad continues to operate one of its locomotives with 100% gas. Now with the increasing price of diesel, operation with gas is more than just cleaner its cheaper ECI tests dual fuel operation with bio diesel proving perfect operation with the emerging alternative fuel Global warming on your mind? Natural gas is a perfect midterm solution. Natural gas is the highest hydrogen to carbon ratio fuel. Engines running natural gas with diesel typically have 20 to 30% less CO2 emissions. When you are talking about the single largest pollutant from exhaust, 20% is a huge number.
