· Inert Gas (flue gas)
· Inert Gas Generation
Common Failures:
- • Scrubber tower fouling
- • Deck seal water level low
- • O2 analyser drift
- • SO2 breakthrough
Service: Flue gas type; maintain scrubber water flow and deck seal water level.
Spares: Smit: Brennerdüsen-Satz, Photoauge und Dichtungen an Bord vorhalten. Lead time: 3-8 Wochen für Rohre.
Pros
- High-quality inert gas production
- Reliable and safe operation
- Compliance with IMO regulations
- Low maintenance requirements
- Compact design for efficient installation
Cons
- Scrubber tower fouling can occur if not properly maintained
- Requires regular monitoring of deck seal water level
- O2 analyser drift can affect system accuracy
- SO2 breakthrough can be a concern if not properly addressed
- Higher initial investment compared to some other models
Typical Vessels:
TankerLNG CarrierLPG Carrier
Certifications:
IMO D-2USCG Type Approval
Decision Guide: Choose if you require a reliable and safe inert gas generation system for tanker operations, with a focus on compliance with IMO regulations. Avoid if you are looking for a low-initial-investment solution or have limited space for installation.
Use Cases: Typically deployed on tankers, LNG carriers, and LPG carriers, where inert gas generation is crucial for safe cargo handling and transport.
