Eniram Ltd announced at Gastech the release of Eniram Engine, a new tool to help guide TFDE LNG Carriers’ Engineers and Officers use the engines and fuel in the most efficient way.
High engine efficiency is imperative in order to achieve low SFC and cost savings. Eniram Engine takes into account real-time actual engine operation by combining data from onboard fuel flow meters with generator loads, power produced and Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC).
Analyzing the data, Eniram Engine then suggests optimal engine combination and fuel type for the prevailing conditions in order to save fuel.
Eniram Engine understands the different operating modes of LNG carriers. When fuel oil is used to supplement Boil-Off Gas (BOG) as a fuel for the ship’s propulsion and energy systems, Eniram Engine will provide guidance only with this mixed fuel usage.
Additionally, if the carrier is equipped with a reliquefication plant and the BOG is reliquefied and fuel oil is used for the engines, then only suggestions for fuel oil usage are provided.
In addition, the Buffer feature of Eniram Engine helps Engineers understand how much operating reserve power (or buffer) they have available for each engine suggestion compared to the actual, in case there is a sudden need to increase power output.
“Monitoring the available power is critical for safe and efficient operations on board. Eniram Engine demonstrates that even small changes in engine use pattern during a voyage can have a significant impact in reducing fuel and overall operating costs,” Based on our analysis, ship owners will be able to achieve a reduction of 2% to 4% of total fuel consumption.” says Jussi Pyörre, CTO, Eniram

In the start, I was frank with you propecia before and after has changed my existence. It has become much more fun, and now I have to run. Just as it is fabulous to sit.
