RENTAL POWER
Dual-Fuel Technology: Reduce Costs and Maintain Power in Mobile Applications With natural gas production at an all-time high and natural gas prices falling, it would be prudent to consider this fossil fuel as an alternative source to traditional diesel-fueled power generation applications. When it comes to productivity, however, the power and torque generated by diesel engines far surpasses that of similar sized natural gas engines. One increasingly attractive solution that comprises the best of both worlds is dual-fuel technology, which allows one engine to run on two fuels. In today’s oil and gas industry, expensive fuel can often drive up the cost of doing business, but a record-setting natural gas boom in the United States has led to significantly lower prices. Power systems that traditionally burn diesel can now integrate dual-fuel engines to burn natural gas while maintaining performance. Additionally, most dual-fuel engines are capable of running exclusively on diesel or on a combination of diesel and natural gas, resulting in lower fuel costs. The two fuels work together to power the engine. First, the engine starts purely on diesel and as the inlet air temperature rises, natural gas is injected into the cylinders through additional intake piping. The diesel acts as an igniter to light the gas inside the combustion chamber, causing the natural gas to burn. Then, as natural gas fills the cylinder, the amount of diesel being consumed is reduced, which extends the engine’s run time, curtails exhaust emissions and reduces the amount of on-site diesel necessary to get the job done. In applications like land drilling, land production and well service, containerized mobile generator sets may be useful in regions where the natural gas supply is abundant, maybe even free-flowing, making its use extremely cost effective. Whether meeting short- or long-term power demands, it’s possible to use natural gas and consistently maintain traditional diesel power and transient performance. The advantages of dual-fuel technology are pretty remarkable: • Significantly lower fuel costs compared to 100% diesel usage
• Utilization of a reliable fuel supply strategy, reducing risk and eliminating the need for excessive fuel storage • Ability to maintain diesel power and traditional transient response and torque, even when in substitution mode • Maintains, even improves emissions levels At the forefront of this trend is Caterpillar Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) technology. Using existing gas engine hardware to allow Cat® diesel engines to burn natural gas, owners save significantly on fuel costs while maintaining diesel engine performance levels with the security of a warranty from the OEM. Full system integration provides a significant advantage compared to the current aftermarket options. Parameters such as natural gas substitution rate, fuel flexibility range (methane number), and the ability to maintain emissions compliance are uniquely considered. The mobile/temporary power sector, in particular, can profit from this dual-fuel technology as it allows the end user to utilize natural gas while automatically modulating gas
substitution based on fuel quality, pressure, type and variety. An automated fuel system, with common protections and controls, achieves optimal performance through continuous monitoring and adjustment. Additionally, retesting, readjusting
and re-commissioning from site to site are unnecessary, further amplifying the benefits for mobile and temporary power applications where setup time is key, up-time is “prime-time” and downtime is unacceptable.

really involves working hand-in-hand with customers on issues that can impact their bottom line.” Q What sorts of issues? A Randy – “We can provide data and analysis on machine location and utilization including idle time vs. working time, fuel burn, fault codes, oil sample analysis, and maintenance issues and advice." Q David, you mentioned data from several sources. How is the data collected and where is it coming from?
Randy Hutcherson and David Udden, Condition Monitoring Consultants. Q Describe what you do as a Condition Monitoring Consultant. A David – “Condition Monitoring is the term used to describe a proactive process that involves data and analyses from several sources to help customers manage their equipment utilization and maintenance costs.” Randy – “We like to think of ourselves as ‘another set of eyes’ working on behalf of the customer. Condition Monitoring
A David – “We have serval sources of data depending on the type of agreement we have with the customer. For example, in an EMSolutions (Equipment Management Solutions) Level 1 & 2 agreement, machine operating data is transmitted directly to the customer by way of satellite or cellular communication through Product Link. The customer receives this information by way of text or e-mail. Foley provides training to customers about how to read and act on that data.” Randy – “…And as customers step up to Level 3 or 4 EMSolutions programs, the number and the source of those inputs increases. For example, fluid sampling and analysis are included. Visual inspections
from lube technicians are submitted and are considered along with the maintenance history of the machine.” Q So your role as a Condition Monitoring consultant is to bring all that data together for the customer in a meaningful, actionable way?
Customers of Foley can receive real-time alerts on mobile phones or desktop PCs.
A Randy –“That’s right. David and I pull this information together and provide it to customers in the form of regular reports as part of Level 3 and 4 EMSolutions programs. If maintenance is needed, we’re in direct contact with service coordinators to schedule maintenance.”
David – “While Randy and I may be talking with customers, we’re part of a larger team that involves the field technicians and service coordinators all with the goal of identifying smaller problems before they turn into large, costly repairs and helping customers get the most out of their equipment.” Q You’ve each mentioned different levels of service. Do you provide different services for different customers?
A David – “Yes, the EMSolutions program offers something for everyone. I mentioned Level 1 & 2. These are programs for customers that frequently do their own maintenance and monitor the machine’s health themselves. Additionally, customers with Levels 2, 3 & 4 programs are provided with automated reporting of machine health and utilization. A Level 3 customer also receives maintenance and health information that comes from inspection reports and fluid analysis. At Level 4, the customer receives everything from the previous levels plus; regular preventive maintenance service, reports and advice. Level 5 is a custom program in which Foley is actively managing and handling all maintenance and repairs, often for a fleet of machines."
Intelligent Action Solidifies Earthen Compaction If you’re simply paving roads with good intentions, you may soon experience your own ‘hell holes’ as improperly compacted base layers can cause your pavement to prematurely crack and crumble. In fact, workmanship issues currently account for approximately 80 percent of premature pavement failures, according to www.IntelligentCompaction.com. So, instead of being perpetually penitent with your customers, be proactive and ask your local Foley Equipment representative about Intelligent Compaction (IC), an advanced roller-base technology that uses real-time compaction control during road construction to ensure utmost quality control with complete documentation. Available on various new models of Cat Compactors, IC rollers greatly improve the quality, uniformity and long-lasting performance of pavements today. Foley Equipment also offers Trimble’s aftermarket IC retrofit kits, which can convert conventional rollers to IC. Use Intelligent Compaction to improve your soil compaction operations on any project where the specification calls for
a target density or pass count, including: • Highway and railway construction • Residential pads • Commercial site construction • Parking lots • Sports fields According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), IC systems allow operators to use GPS-based mapping and onboard computer reporting to perform real-time monitoring and provide corrections to the compaction process. Color-coded plots record the roller’s precise location, number of passes and compaction measurement values. The systems analyze data and compare the results of previous passes to determine whether adjustments are needed. The use of intelligent compaction measurement values (IC-MVs) reduces the possibilities of under- and over-rolling pavement by helping project personnel to identify problem areas and determine
According to www.IntelligentCompaction.com, IC enables you to: • Produce better quality pavements with adequate and consistent rolling patterns without under- or over-rolling. • Create consistent rolling patterns and increase productivity by a reported 15 to 35 percent, avoiding wasteful roller passes that reduce construction time, fuel consumption and equipment wear-and-tear. corrective actions. Cost-benefit analyses, according to the FHWA, have shown that most companies can see a return on their investment within one to two years, as compaction is one of the most important processes in roadway construction. So, if you’re ready to lay a solid foundation for your business, ask a Foley Equipment representative how use of IC technology can help you produce better quality roadways, residential pads, commercial sites, parking lots and sports fields, and allow you to operate more efficiently.
• Improve uniformity by monitoring compaction in real time with 100 percent coverage, which reduces the need for pavement maintenance and repair. • Identify non-uniform compacted areas, determine possible problem areas and make decisions on corrections before placing additional layers. • Store IC data as permanent geospatial records that can be repurposed for forensic investigation and rehabilitation.

ZONE
A Safe Operation
Safety tips for agriculture workers For the general public, the word “farm” summons images of picturesque scenery and herds of roaming animals, but those who work on farms, ranches, feed lots and dairies understand that the real-life scene isn’t quite that simple, nor nearly as safe, as outsiders might think. In fact, farming can be downright dangerous — something farm safety experts have known for many years. Fortunately, steps can be taken to make the farm scene safer — and closer to the idyllic image in the collective mind of the public. 1 Wear seat belts. Operators of farm machinery are rarely traveling at high speeds, and traffic is limited. There are other working machines, however, and equipment must sometimes use or cross public roads. It’s important to remember — seat belts do much more than protect the operator in the event of a collision. They also keep workers inside the cab’s rollover protection structure (ROPS). Underfoot conditions are often unstable, and the risk of an operator encountering a berm, ravine or a drop-off from a road to a drainage ditch is likely. 2 Properly enter and exit machines. Start by taking the proper approach. Always face the equipment and use the steps and rails provided by the manufacturer. Make sure the area is adequately lit, contact areas are clear and that steps and handrails are properly secured and free from mud and debris. Maintain three points of contact when mounting or dismounting. Either one hand and two feet, or two hands and one foot should be on the steps/handrail. Make sure footwear is clean and hands are free of tools or supplies that could encumber the process. 3 Make the shop safe. Repairing equipment requires caution. Turning off equipment should be obvious, but have you put all safety locks in place? Keep guards and shields on power equipment — they are installed for a reason. Keep the shop clean, too. An organized workplace makes it easy to find
the right tools, prevents heavy objects from falling, and a clean floor helps you avoid slips and falls. Don’t forget – eye protection is a must. 4 Handle grain properly. Automation makes it much easier to work with grain than in the past, but the equipment and storage structures can be hazardous. Make your farm safer by starting simple. Don’t allow workers to wear loose, unbuttoned or torn clothing. Lock entrances to grain handling areas and use labels on grain bins to warn of entrapment hazards. Install ladders inside bins and notify workers they should not enter bins that are being loaded or unloaded. 5 Beware of the bunker silo. Take steps to ensure bunker silos don’t collapse on machines or workers. Inspect the silo walls for cracks and foundation problems before harvesting. If a problem is ignored, the weight of new materials could lead damaged walls to crumble outward. Just as dangerous are instances when silage props up faulty walls, only to have them collapse inward when material is removed. 6 No free rides. Falls from equipment by operators and farmhands are some of the most frequent causes of injury. Make sure workers who are approved to ride wear slip-resistant shoes or boots. Keep platforms, footplates and steps clear of mud, manure and other debris; make sure the platform is free of tools, gloves and loose objects. Set the brakes once you’ve reached your destination. 7 Wear the proper clothing. When it comes to farming, keep it tight. Loose clothing can get caught in machinery, especially when working around augers or implements. Wear the
proper footwear, not only to protect feet from falling objects, but to prevent falls. Farms can be slippery places, and boots with good traction are the first line of defense. Also, make sure the boots are high enough to protect your ankles. Gloves and long pants prevent cuts and scratches. 8 Make safe attachment changes. Understand the warning labels pertaining to the forks, buckets and other work tools on your farm. Know the maximum operating capacities and specifications of the host machine and lift capacity restrictions. Also, make sure you’re aware of work tool clearance when operating near obstacles, including those that are overhead, such as tree branches and power lines. Before making a work tool change, check the hydraulic hoses and fittings on both the tool and the host machine. 9 Conduct pre-shift walk around inspections These inspections only take a few minutes and they are one of the best ways to detect small problems before they become serious. Follow walk around guidelines in the OMMs (Operating & Maintenance Manuals), which should be kept on machines. Supervisors must allow time for a thorough evaluation. Start by making sure the machine is clean, which means no grease, oil or hydraulic fluid on the steps, railings or

controls. Keep windows clean inside and out for clear visibility. On the outside, check for accumulating debris — such as hay, straw and grains — that could be susceptible to fire. Besides debris, you’re looking for leaks, cuts, cracks, rubbing or excessive wear. Use your senses: sight, smell, hearing and touch. Have your operators do a walk around any time they get off the machines and again at the end of a shift. Pass all relevant information to other operators and a supervisor. 10 Establish a culture of safety and a commitment to training. Prepare a safety manual or safety sheet for the specific conditions found in your operation. Ensure all equipment is used for its intended purposes and forbid removal of safety guards or other protective gear. Retain material safety data sheets for fertilizers and chemicals. When appropriate, make sure instructions are translated and clearly understood by all workers. Provide regular safety training and conduct weekly training meetings. Be certain new farmhands have been trained before they start working. Give experienced operators a chance to adjust to new machines and to go through any training necessary to assure proficiency. Have them review the OMM to make sure they understand the basics before putting them to work on unfamiliar machines. Safety materials are available for download at SAFETY.CAT.COM™.
