Inert gas systems for tanker cargo tank atmosphere control

Knowledge

What engineers check first on Inert Gas System.

A nitrogen generator produces inert gas by separating oxygen from compressed air rather than by scrubbing and cooling boiler or diesel engine flue gas. Two technologies are used aboard ship: hollow-fibre membrane separation, where air is forced through fibres that let oxygen and water vapour pass faster than nitrogen, and pressure swing adsorption (PSA), where compressed air is passed through vessels packed with carbon molecular sieve that adsorbs oxygen under pressure and releases it on depressurisation. Both give a dry, sulphur-free, oil-free gas stream, which is why nitrogen generators are…
