MethanolPac – reliable handling of the fuel

Wärtsilä MethanolPac is a complete fuel supply system for methanol-fuelled ships, including a low-pressure part (the bunkering station, tank related equipment, methanol process equipment as well as the control and monitoring system) and a high-pressure part (MFPU - Methanol Fuel Pump Unit - and OPU - sealing and control oil pump unit), depending on the needs of the methanol consumers.

Key benefits

Fully automated system that interfaces with hull-integrated tanks
Integration with Wärtsilä engines
Tailor-made solution based on vessel needs
Focus on safe handling of the fuel

Technical data

Standardized high-pressure system modules
Designed according to Classification Societies’ Rules
Dedicated control and monitoring system
High-pressure and low-pressure pumps driven by frequency converter to minimize electric consumption
Installation of a methanol cooler in the system to keep fuel temperature under control
Delivery of process system components in defined skids
Fuel transfer system in case of several tanks

Applications

Wärtsilä can deliver methanol systems for propulsion and power generation for the W32 methanol engine, either as a standalone product or as a part of a complete propulsion system. A solution for other methanol consumers (4-stroke and 2-stroke) can be studied. Our methanol solutions are suitable both for newbuild and retrofit applications.

Adopting methanol as marine fuel

If you are considering a switch to low-carbon fuel, methanol is an attractive option. Green methanol has the potential to be carbon free, and it meets current and future emissions targets in terms of NOx, SOx and particulates.
