Wärtsilä MethanolPac fuel supply system

Wärtsilä MethanolPac is a complete fuel supply system for methanol-fuelled ships. It handles methanol from bunkering and onboard storage through transfer, conditioning and low- and high-pressure supply to the engines or other methanol consumers, for propulsion and power generation.

Scope of supply

• Low-pressure fuel handling equipment
• High-pressure fuel supply equipment
• Process systems
• Dedicated control, monitoring and safety functions

Key features

• Modular architecture combining standardised components with project-specific elements
• Automated operation, interfacing with the vessel's fuel storage and handling arrangements
• Automation integrable into vessel automation for complete Wärtsilä deliveries
• Optimised interfaces when delivered with Wärtsilä methanol engines
• Available standalone or as part of a complete Wärtsilä propulsion solution

Applications

• Propulsion and power generation with Wärtsilä methanol engines
• Other 4-stroke and 2-stroke methanol engines, evaluated per project
• Newbuilds designed for methanol and conversions of existing vessels

System specification depends on class society, bunkering station arrangement, tank quantities and locations, fuel preparation room, engine type and pipe distances. Van Oord selected MethanolPac with Wärtsilä 32 Methanol engines for an offshore wind installation vessel.
