American Power Group Announces US$1.4 million In S4000 Dual Fuel Systems Orders
American Power Group (APG) announced that it has received an additional US$1.4 million of follow-on orders since announcing US$800,000 of stationary orders on August 6, 2024 from its network of stationary certified dealer/installers. The US$800,000 of orders will be shipped during the September 2024 quarter with a majority of the $1.4 million of follow-on orders expected to ship during the December 2024 quarter.
“With more exploration and production (E&P) companies requiring their teams, as well as their drilling and fracking subcontractors, to be using dual fuel technology equipment, APG’s proven reliability and ease of operation is putting us at the top of the list when they are choosing a dual fuel solution,” said Chuck Coppa, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of APG. “With compelling financial savings as well as beneficial environmental benefits of running natural gas as compared to diesel, our cost-effective dual fuel solution assists companies in meeting their environmental, safety, and governance goals, as well as providing them a competitive advantage in the market.”
APG’s S4000 Dual Fuel Technology introduces natural gas from renewable, fossil, or treated field gas into the induction system of a diesel engine, displacing up to 65% of the diesel fuel. The S4000 System does not change any of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) diesel engine components, maintaining base engine temperature and pressure parameters of the OEM engine.
APG’s software-based Dual Fuel solution allows peak diesel displacement of up to 65% with typical average displacement of around 50% without any expensive additional pre-combustion or spark arresting hardware protection required at higher displacement rates. According to APG, the S4000 has a field performance reputation of the highest up-time and lowest total cost of ownership amongst the dual fuel industry. In May 2023, APG announced reaching the 15 million cumulative run hour milestone for stationary dual fuel applications.
Generator power ratings from 100kW to 12MW have been converted to APG’s Dual Fuel Technology on a wide array of OEM diesel engine platforms, including Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Detroit Diesel, MAN B&W, Kohler, Perkins, John Deere, Komatsu, Wartsila, Isuzu, Nigata, Isuzu, and Daihtsu.
