The MWM can look back at a tradition lasting over 140 years which has always been accompanied by innovations.
1871 Car inventor Carl Benz set the basis with the foundation of
his "Mechanical Workshop" in Mannheim.
1922 The company split up. The Motoren-Werke Mannheim AG,
formerly Benz, "Stationary Engine Construction” evolved.
1985 Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz AG took over MWM.
2005 Deutz AG spun off a division known as DEUTZ Power Systems
2007 Deutz sold it to the investment firm of 3i in the fall of 2007.
2008 Re-Branding to MWM

Gas supply pressureUsing MWM’s turbocharged lean burn combustion system means mixing of gas and air at atmospheric
pressure before compressing this mixture in the turbocharger. Hence only very low biogas pressure at
engine inlet is required, resulting in
• Reduction of investment costs as no compressors is required
• Increase overall plant efficiency (no energizing of compressors required)
Biogas – air mixingWhen using an electronic multi-gas mixer, the system
can be set to a pre-defined starting position depending on the actual gas composition, this allows
• easy and reliable engine start
• run with alternative fuel (propane) until the
biogas process is running on a stable basis and
switching over to biogas operation

Engine optimization
19 / PL
TEM (Total Electronic Management)
controls the genset by the temperature
of every individual cylinder and protects
it by an anti-knocking control
TEM and the multi-gas mixer enables the
engine to run with fluctuating gas qualities and different gas types like
• Natural gas / CBM / CMM
• Coke oven gas
• Pyrolysis-, syn- and flare gases
• Biogas
This leads to a longer engine lifetime without
additional maintenance costs

It is essential for proper engine
operation to avoid condensation
(= corrosion danger) on the way to
the cylinders.
Measures adopted include
• Mixture cooler temperature has tobe kept as high as possible (>65 C)
• Mixture cooler resistance shall be increased by using tin coated fins
• Crankcase breather has to have a very high water separation capability by adequate size
Engine Optimization: Mixture intake

Efficiency gain vs. Compression ratio Epsilon (calculated)
Engine Optimization: Combustion Process – compression ratio
From a thermodynamic point of view,
the efficiency of combustion is propor-
tional to the compression ratio of the
engine.
On the other side higher compression
ratio means higher risk of knocking
and consequently higher operational risk.
Since the MN of biogas is approx. 30% higher than natural gas, biogas has a
significantly higher margin against
knocking. This can be used accordingly.
23 / PL
MWM biogas engines have higher
compression ratio (ε= 15) showing
significant mech. efficiency increase
of approx. 1,2 % up to 1,5 %
It shall also be considered, that higher
efficiency is the result of a better
energy conversion in the combustion
chamber resulting additionally in less
thermal stress to the engine Mech. efficiency increase TCG 2016 from Epsilon 12 to Epsilon 15 (DPS measurements)

Use of pre-chamber spark plugs arepart of this improvement step. A pre-chamber spark plug consists of specially designed:
• Pre-chamber (1) including the
spark electrode
• Pre-chamber cover (2) with
flame propagation bores

Engine Optimization: Combustion Process – spark plug design
With the pre-chamber spark plug the required ignition voltage is reduced
by means of approx. 25 %, resulting in an extended plug lifetime

Engine Optimization: Bearing design and metallurgy
When looking for more corrosion resistant bearings, engine manufacturers have concentrated on using sputter bearings.
This bearings have a very high resistance against corrosion due to its dense surface reached by sputtering of the running surface

Avoiding acidification of the lube oil
resulting from condensation of
combustion products with gas
contaminants is essential for proper
operation. Following strategies have
been developed:
• Operation with high lube oil
temperature
• Keeping lube oil hot during
engine standstill (proper pre-
heating and hydraulic
connection to plant)
• Appropriate ratio of oil volume
to power output on the setOil Lifetime increase vs. Spec. Oil volume

How much biogas is needed for 1200 kW output?
■ 1200 kWe / 42% (el. eff.) / 5.7 kWh/m³ (assumed LCV biogas) ≈ 502 m³/h
What is needed to generate 500 m³/h in a digester?
■ 20.000 t / a biomass, eg. cornsilage, loppings, green cuts, menure, etc.
■ Effluent from a 35 t/h Fresh Fruit Bunch processing plant (300 d/y, 20 h/d),i.e. approx. 27 t/h or 162.000 t/a effluent
What operating income can be achieved?
■ electricity supply to the grid
■ heat supply (drying process, heating, …)
■ selling of fertilizer

Conclusions
■ Biogas is a renewable fuel with a special composition which demands proper addressing
in both, plant layout as well as in engine / genset design
■ Biogas has advantages when used in reciprocating engines resulting in improvements
on efficiency and power output (and not only for this gas type)
■ State of the art technology is already making use of this advantages
■ This is a solid support from the industry to the efforts of producing more and more heat
and electricity with renewable fuels in order to achieve the levels of CO2 reduction
expected by the both producers and customers
