With increasing demands considering emission regulations and gas being commercially attractive in different markets Gas and Dual Fuel engines play a more and more important role in MDT’s engine portfolio. Selling engines in the markets worldwide MDT is confronted with different demands regarding rules and regulatory. The main markets can be divided into stationary and marine applications. For stationary markets, local rules are effective whereas in the marine business the majority of demands considering safe gas operation is set by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and the classification societies. For special applications like the Offshore markets, additional rules are to be fulfilled. The development of engines using gaseous fuels includes significant efforts considering Gas engine safety. This paper introduces a holistic process to evaluate and mitigate risks regarding product safety of medium speed 4-stroke engines. Examples are given where smart safety solutions were introduced. The benefit for engine cost is also explained. It is described how the risk assessment is carried out on different levels of the engine. This includes design and function based risk analyses. The results and especially residual risks are handed over to risk analyses on a higher level. Thus it is made certain that technical solutions are applied wherever possible so that the residual risks for the plant design and the operator are kept to a minimum. Organizational measures are only applied if no other solutions are feasible. All risks that cannot be handled internally are also discussed and suitable counter measures are defined together with MDT’s own plant design experts for both stationary and marine markets. Considering product safety a common baseline is defined for all MDT engines. The underlying principle is that a product must be safe independent of the corresponding rules and regulations. It is shown how the requirements for different markets can be fulfilled using the same starting point.
