INERT GAS GENERATOR. Vessels carrying cargos that produce hydrocarbon vapors require an inerting solution to eliminate the risk of explosions and fi res in the cargo tanks. This can be achieved by keeping the oxygen content below 8%, a standard set by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

Inert gas system is the most important integrated system for oil tankers for safe operation of the ship. Inert gas is the gas that contains insufficient oxygen (normally less than 8 %) to suppress the combustion of flammable hydrocarbon gases. The inert gas system spreads the inert gas over the oil cargo hydrocarbon mixture which increases the lowe...
The following components are used in a typical inert gas system in oil tankers: 1. Exhaust gases source: inert gas source is taken from exhaust uptakes of boiler or main engine as contains flue gases in it. 2. Inert gas isolating valve:It serves as the supply valve from uptake to the rest of the system isolating both the systems when not in use. 3....
The basis of inert gas production in the IG plant is the flue gas generated from the ship’s boiler. The high-temperature gas mixture from the boiler uptake is treated in an inert gas plant which cleans, cools and supplies the inert gas to the individual tanks via PV valves and breakers to ensure the safety of the tank structure and atmosphere. The ...
Boiler uptake gases are drawn to the scrubber unit via flue gas isolating valve(s) to the scrubber unit.In the scrubber unit the gas is cooled, cleaned and dried before being supplied to the tanks.Motor-driven inert gas blowers supply the treated gas from the scrubber tower to the tanks. They are mounted on rubber vibration absorbers and isolated from the piping by rubber expansion bellows.Regulation of gas quantity delivered to the deck is taken care of by the gas control valves and the deck pressure is managed by the pressure controller. If the deck pressure is lower than the set p...Inert gas is produced on board crude oil carriers (above 8,000 tonnes from Jan 1, 2016) by burning kerosene in a dedicated inert gas generator. The inert gas system is used to prevent the atmosphere in cargo tanks or bunkers from coming into the explosive range. [ 9 ]
Inert gas generator (IGG) refers to machinery on board marine product tankers. Inert gas generators consist distinctively of a gas producer and a scrubbing system. [1] [2]

Inert Gas is a gas or a mixture of gases, such as flue gas, containing insuficient oxygen to support the combustion of hydrocarbons. An Inert condition is a condition in which the oxygen content throughout the atmosphere of a tank has been reduced to 8% or less by volume.

Jul 8, 2019 · Inert Gas System (IGS) on a ship refers to a system deployed for the prevention of an explosion in the cargo tanks of a tanker. In this integrated system, while pumping out the liquid inflammable cargo, an inert gas (sometimes by flue gas from ship boilers) is also pumped in.
