A pre-chamber ignition allows spark-ignition engines to operate in lean air-fuel settings. It improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. In this study, a reliability analysis of a single GE Jenbacher J620 natural gas engine was done. It was operational on continuous load in the power generation sector in Karachi, Pakistan. The bathtub curve of GE J620 pre-chamber gas valve (PCV) was generated. The three-year industrial data comprised PCV failures that occurred between two overhauls. During infant mortality, the curve revealed 7 failures during 1000 hours. This decreased to a failure for the next two cycles of thousand hours each. The mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) of the gas valve at 2500 hours and 4500 hours was calculated. There was a 50% decrease in reliability after 1500 hours. Exponential distribution revealed that the mean time-to-failure (MTTF) was 545.5 hours. This study was the first of its kind in the facility. Previously, much time was lost in breakdown maintenance. Thus, it helped to increase the system's reliability.Ön oda ateşlemesi, kıvılcım ateşlemeli motorların zayıf hava yakıtı ayarlarında çalışmasına izin verir. Yakıt verimliliğini artırır ve emisyonları azaltır. Bu çalışmada tek bir GE Jenbacher J620 doğal gaz motorunun güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Pakistan, Karaçi'de elektrik üretim sektöründe sürekli yükte çalışıyordu. GE J620 ön oda gaz vanasının (PCV) bir küvet eğrisi oluşturuldu. Üç yıllık endüstriyel veriler, iki revizyon arasında meydana gelen PCV arızalarını içeriyordu. Bebek ölümleri sırasında, eğri 1000 saat boyunca 7 başarısızlık ortaya çıkardı. Bu, her biri bin saatlik sonraki iki döngü için başarısızlığa düştü. Gaz vanasının 2500 saat ve 4500 saatte ortalama arıza süresi (MTTF) hesaplandı. 1500 saat sonra güvenilirlikte %50 azalma oldu. Üstel dağılım, ortalama başarısızlık süresinin (MTTF) 545,5 saat olduğunu ortaya koydu. Bu çalışma, tesiste türünün ilk örneğiydi. Daha önce, arıza bakımında çok zaman kaybedildi. Böylece sistemin güvenilirliğinin artmasına yardımcı oldu.

“…In recent years, extraction companies, pushed by environmental regulations and financial indications, have studied several options to reduce the quantity of flared gas. Collecting and transporting the gas to the market, converting it to a liquid fuel similar to gasoline, using it for electricity and heat generation, using it as a fuel for onsite needs, reinjection into underground strata to improve oil and gas extraction, and the production of syngas are all methods for reducing gas flaring in addition to dry reforming processes (Orosa and Zardoya 2022;Tahmasebzadehbaie and Sayyaadi 2022;Owgi et al 2023b), as summarised in Fig. 6.…”

The current work investigated emerging fields for generating and consuming hydrogen and synthetic Fischer-Tropsch (FT) fuels, especially from detrimental greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4. Technologies for syngas generation ranging from partial oxidation, auto-thermal, dry, photothermal, and wet or steam reforming of methane were adequately revised alongside biomass valorisation for hydrogen generation, water-electrolysis, and climate challenges due to methane flaring, production, storage, transportation, challenges, and opportunities in CO2 and CH4 utilisation. Under the same conditions, dry reforming produces more coke than steam reforming. However, combining the two techniques produces syngas with a high H2/CO ratio, which is suitable for producing long-chain hydrocarbons. Although the steam methane reforming (SMR) process has been industrialised, it is well known to consume significant energy. However, coke production via catalytic methane decomposition, the prime hindrance to large-scale implementation of these techniques for hydrogen production, could be addressed by coupling CO with CO2 conversion to alter the H2/CO ratio of syngas, increasing the reaction temperatures in dry reforming, or increasing the steam content fed in steam reforming. Optimised hydrogen production and generation of green fuels from CO2 and CH4 can be achieved by implementing these strategies.

The study intends to assess long-term mitigation strategies for reducing CO2 emissions from internal combustion. The research makes use of well-known academic literature with relevant information, covers arguments, comprehension, findings, conclusions, and suggestions from literature. Concepts of combustion, internal combustion engines (ICEs), benefits of internal combustion, CO2 emission, consequences of CO2 emission on the environment, and CO2 emission mitigating measures were taken into consideration for the evidence gathered in this study. The established, reviewed literature served as the basis, pointing petroleum as the primary source of energy for both industrial and home uses is the ICEs. However, it is also account for greenhouse gas emissions like CO2 and others, which have a direct impact on the world climate, thus strongly urges the advancement of environmental sustainability through the dissemination of fresh scientific findings that will aid in reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gases. The use of electric vehicles and biofuel applications were discussed as alternative to the fossil products. The research finding revealed that the use of internal engine a gasoline (GE) car produces 167g of CO2 gas per kilometer, a diesel vehicle (DE) emits 134g, a hybrid (HEV) emits 145g and an electric vehicle (BEV) emits 114g, according to the life cycle assessment. The use of Coconut B5, B15 fuel gives CO2 raise of 2.54 % B20%,4.64 B100%. While when of Camelina fuel lower 13.8 % of B100 than B20%, thus revealed that biofuel can increase or decrease in emission generation. However, biofuel is considered as an alternative energy source that is currently being researched and applied as fuel in motorized vehicles.
