Fairbanks Morse Engine, based in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA, is a worldwide leader in engine technology and manufacturing . The core business of Fairbanks Morse Engine is to provide its customers the highest quality diesel engines, dual fuel engine generator sets, gas turbine generators, OEM replacement parts, and knowledgeable field service support. Primary markets include stationary power generation and marine propulsion for the United States Navy.

Three FM Engine Families that use Natural Gas

Opposed Piston Dual Fuel - 1,185 - 3,165 kW

The Fairbanks Morse Opposed Piston (OP) engine has been designed and developed for a wide array of electrical power generation and heavy industrial applications. You will find OP engines propelling ships, driving locomotives, natural gas compressors, chillers and pump drives, and producing electricity in a variety of marine and stationary applications.

6 cylinder units are rated at 1,580 kw; 9 cylinder is 2,370 kW and 12 cylinder is 3,165 kW

FM-MAN 32/40 Dual Fuel - 4,480 - 6,720 kW

The FM-MAN 32/40 Dual Fuel engine generator set is the first commercially available engine resulting from the alliance between Fairbanks Morse Engine (U.S.A.) and MAN B&W Diesel (Germany). Released for commercial sale in 1997, the 32/40 DF is a strong complement to the Opposed Piston and Colt-Pielstick PC2.5 dual fuel engines that also incorporate the Fairbanks Morse Enviro-Design® low emission technology (99% natural gas and 1% diesel). The 32/40 DF engine design is based on the successful 32/40 diesel design.

The FM-MAN 32/40 Dual Fuel engine generator sets are available in 12, 14, 16, and 18 cylinder configurations for stationary power generation applications covering a power range from 4,480 kWe to 6,720 kWe.

Colt-Pielstick PC2 Dual Fuel - 7,815 kW

Colt-Pielstick PC2.5 Enviro-Design® dual fuel engines offer excellent fuel rates and low emission levels. Utilizing pre-combustion chamber technology, Enviro-Design engines burn natural gas as the primary fuel and require a smaller amount of pilot diesel for ignition than other competitive engines. This equates to significantly lower fuel costs and storage requirements, as well as inherently lower NOx exhaust emissions. In the event of natural gas supply interruption, the engine automatically switches to 100% diesel operation without impact to operation or load carrying capability.

PC2.5 Enviro-Design® engines are available in 18 cylinder V-type configurations rated at 7,815 kWe.
