Alfa Laval/Smit Gas

IG Generator 2000m3h O2<1% combustion

Alfa Laval Inert Gas Systems. Alfa Laval is the market leader in inert gas generation for maritime tanker vessels. The Smit Combustion system is a low-pressure combustion-based IGS using the patented Ultramizing® technology to produce soot-free inert gas with oxygen content 2-4%. Capacity range: 1000-20,000 m³/h at 0.15-0.25 bar(g). System includes combustion generator, cooler/

Common failures & inspection points

Scrubber fouling, corrosion, blocked spray nozzles, demister damage

Visual inspection through scrubber manholes; check spray nozzles for blockage (impairs cooling efficiency); inspect cooling pipes, floats, sensors for corrosion or soot deposits; verify cooling water flow and demister function

Deck seal water level loss, gauge glass fouling, seal integrity compromise

Verify gauge glass is clean and water level visible; check high/low level alarm float switches operational; inspect for water leakage, corrosion; in cold weather verify heating coil function and trace heating active; confirm low-level alarm functions

P/V breaker seal loss, incorrect relief pressure setting, glycol/water mixture degradation

Verify P/V breaker opens at preset pressure/vacuum; check sight glass and fluid level (glycol-water mixture); inspect for leakage around valve stem; test differential pressure response; replace fluid if discolored/contaminated

Oxygen analyzer drift, calibration loss, sensor fouling or failure

Calibrate analyzer ≥24 hrs before cargo operations; log calibration results; verify O2 readout 2-4% during operation; replace probe/sensor if drift >0.5%; ensure analyzer sample line clear and inlet not fouled

Combustion process inefficiency, incomplete fuel combustion, soot generation

Observe flue gas color (should be colorless/light gray, not black); monitor fuel/air ratio; inspect burner nozzles and air registers for clogging; verify combustion oxygen ≤4%; check fuel pump pressure/flow; inspect ignition electrode condition

Non-return valve (check valve) function loss, backflow risk to engine room

Confirm non-return valves at deck seal outlet prevent backflow; verify pressure differential across deck seal maintained; listen for flow disturbance; schedule valve seat/seal inspection per Condition Audit; test with pressure gauge if vessel equipped
