Flue Gas Inert Gas Generator · Inert Gas Systems
Engineers and operators on board tankers and gas carriers rely on inert gas systems to ensure safe cargo handling and minimize the risk of fire or explosion. The Hamworthy IG System provides a reliable and efficient solution for generating inert gas, crucial for maintaining a safe atmosphere within cargo tanks. This flue gas system is capable of producing up to 20,000 Nm³/h of inert gas (N2-rich, <5% O2), meeting the stringent requirements of modern maritime operations. The Hamworthy IG System boasts a robust design with several key features. It operates at a gauge pressure of 0.12 bar and maintains a maximum gas exit temperature of 5°C above seawater temperature. The system incorporates a pressure/vacuum breaker for safety and features a deck water seal for essential operational control. The Hamworthy IG System is suitable for various applications, including Moss IGG for tankers and gas carriers, Moss Mult-Inert Systems, and offshore inert gas packages. Hamworthy (now under the Wartsila brand) provides specialized parts and maintains the same service network for continued support and maintenance.
