Mahler AGS

N2 Generator 25m3h 95% Marine

Mahler AGS Inert Gas Systems. Mahler AGS NITROSWING PSA nitrogen generators produce inert gas (N2 95-99.99%) from ambient air using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology with carbon molecular sieve (CMS) adsorbent. Capacity 200-4,000 Nm³/h. Hauptanwendung auf modernen Schiffen (Öltanker, Chemikalientanker) zur Cargo-Tank-Inertisierung (Explosionsschutz, O2 unter 8%). Volla

Common failures & inspection points

Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) Degradation

Annual full inspection: Check CMS bed condition, verify no moisture exposure (degrades sieve lifespan 10+ years; oil contamination reduces lifespan significantly); quarterly checks of N2 purity/flow rate and sieve replacement need. Pre-filters for moisture/oil removal must be inspected and replaced timely.

Oxygen Analyzer Sampling Line Blockage

Periodic inspection and CLEANING of O2 analyzer sampling pipes (at least twice yearly per updated procedures after carbon deposit incidents) to prevent partial clogging. Verify sampling line integrity, check for carbon deposits from IGG scrubber. Analyzer must trigger alarm at O2 > 8%.

Deck Water Seal Integrity & Heating System

Internal inspection of deck seal: check Venturi non-return valves/orifice plates for corrosion/damage (excessive water carryover to tanks); inspect inlet pipe/housing for corrosion/cracks; check heating coil condition. In cold weather zones, verify deck seal heating system operational. Test seal alarms.

Activated Carbon Pre-Filter Contamination

Check activated carbon tower for oil/moisture/foreign material accumulation (activated carbon prevents contaminants entering PSA unit). Inspect air dryer & filter units functionality. Replace pre-filters according to maintenance schedule if lubricated air is used. Monitor pressure drop across filters.

P/V Valve (Pressure/Vacuum) Weight Mechanism Freeze

Pre-operation inspection (especially cold weather): check P/V valve weight mechanism for freeze-in/sticking to seat. Verify non-return valve function to prevent cargo tank backflow. Test automatic shut-down systems. Confirm valve operability before each voyage commencement.

Pressure Vessel Integrity & Adsorption Towers

Annual inspection of dual adsorption towers (filled with CMS) for structural integrity, corrosion, or damage. Verify tower seals/connections integrity. Check product quality downstream (N2 purity/flow); if degraded, towers may need CMS bed replacement. Pressure test vessels per classification society rules.
