Quadrise Fuels International (Quadrise) has published test results of its bioMSAR on a medium speed 4-stroke Wärtsilä diesel engine – with the fuel delivering an increase of ‘up to 7%’ in engine efficiency compared with marine diesel, increasing with load.
bioMSAR™ Test Highlights:
• Engine efficiency was higher (up to 7%) than with marine diesel, increasing with engine load.
• Average calculated CO2 emissions were 26% lower than diesel on a life-cycle (“well-to-wake”) basis, due to a combination of the 40% renewable glycerine content of bioMSAR™ and the higher engine efficiency.
