Calgary, Canada- Caterpillar Inc.
will have a number of technologies demonstrating its
expertise in petroleum applications on display at the 2012
Global Petroleum Show held June 12 - 14 in Calgary, Canada.

as well as the C15 hazardous location solutions.
The new Dynamic Gas Blending retrofit
kit provides customers with a
cost-effective dual fuel option. The Dynamic Gas Blending
kit allows customers to reduce fuel costs and meet changing
emissions regulations by utilizing a wide range of gaseous
fuels in their existing diesel generator sets. The kit
automatically adjusts to changes in incoming fuel quality
and pressure allowing engines to run on a wide variety of
fuels, from associated gas to gasified LNG with no loss of
performance integrity. It maintains diesel performance
levels with up to 70 percent replacement of diesel with
gas, accepts up to 55 percent inerts, and can be applied to
existing engines with EPA certification.

continuously introduce innovative new offerings to our

range of Cat power solutions for the land drilling and
production industry and are pleased to showcase these
products at the Calgary Global Petroleum Show."
