Teck Resources Ltd has announced it has piloted the use of LNG as a fuel alternative to diesel in high horsepower engines with the conversion of six haul trucks at their Fording River operation in British Columbia, Canada.
The vehicles are fuelled by a Chart designed and built mobile unit based on the Orca™ platform, which has long been the preferred solution for liquid gas delivery across a wide range of applications, including atmospheric gases for industry, drinks dispense gases at restaurants, as well as LNG fuelling.
The Orca™ was delivered in October 2015 and Chart’s scope also included on-site commissioning and training.
