CI units almost always operate as lean burn engines. They can
be configured as either 2SLB or 4SLB; the distinction is that CI
engines are fueled by distillate fuel oil (diesel oil), not by
natural gas. Fuel consumption is an important determinant in the
type of emissions from these units; combustion of natural gas and
combustion of diesel oil may each have separate types and proportions
of emissions. Because of this difference in fuel consumption, the
type of control equipment, and thus cost, varies from natural gas-fueled
units, even if those using diesel are of the same engine configuration
and horsepower (hp).
