By Colter Cookson “Waste not, want not” has become the hydraulic fracturing industry’s motto. Modern fleets do everything possible to minimize fuel consumption, simplify surface equipment and automate routine tasks. In the process, they are discovering ways to increase horsepower density and complete wells with fewer people. These innovations cut operating costs while reducing safety risks, community impacts and emissions. Many of...
Gas Substitution System
The GSS harnesses CCC’s leading fuel control technologies to substitute gaseous fuels for diesel on traditional diesel engines. Advanced substitution control is achieved through direct interface between the GSS and Engine Control Unit (ECU). At nearly any load condition and application, the GSS substitutes the maximum amount of diesel without sacrificing engine performance or power output. The GSS uses proven technology that has been field-tested with years of successful performance.

Description
Description
Continental Controls Corporation’s Gas Substitution System (GSS) is an innovative product that allows diesel engines to operate on a combination of natural gas and other low-cost gases, such as biogas, landfill gas, or digester gas with traditional diesel fuel. The GSS system is designed to provide reliable and efficient combustion control for these blended gases while minimizing both operational costs and environmental impact.
The GSS system features specialized control panels and software to monitor and automatically adjust the combustion process in real-time in order to ensure optimal performance and stability. The system is also equipped with advanced safety features, such as shutdown systems and flame detection to prevent any potential hazards.
The use of low-cost gases in combination with natural gas offers several benefits. It can significantly reduce the operational costs of gas turbines, allowing for cost-effective power generation. Additionally, the use of low-cost gases can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping industries meet their sustainability goals.
The GSS system is particularly beneficial for industries that generate significant amounts of waste gases, such as wastewater treatment plants, landfills, and agricultural facilities. By using waste gases in place of traditional fuels, these industries can reduce their environmental impact while also generating cost savings.
The Gas Substitution System utilizes cutting-edge technology to offer reliable and efficient combustion control in order to maximize cost savings and minimize environmental benefits.
