Applications
Stationary Engines
Internal Combustion (IC) engines are used in a variety of Stationary Applications
ranging from Power generation to Inert Gas Production. Depending on the application,
Stationary IC engines range in size from relatively small (~50 hp) for agricultural
irrigation purposes to thousands of Horsepower for Power generation. A variety
of fuels can be used for IC engines including natural gas, Diesel and Gasoline.
The operation of IC engines results in the emission of Hydrocarbons (NMHC or
VOC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and Particulate Matter (PM).
