Marine Inert Gas Supplies provide systems that generate and deliver inert gas to cargo tanks, reducing oxygen levels to prevent explosions. These systems typically use flue gas from boilers or dedicated inert gas generators to maintain safe tank atmospheres. They are essential for ensuring safety during the transport of flammable liquids like oil and chemicals.

Size: Typically ranges from 500 to 50,000 Nm³/h capacity.

Grade: High-purity inert gas (e.g., nitrogen or flue gas with O₂ content <5%).

Viscosity: Dependent on gas composition; nitrogen viscosity ~17.6 μPa·s at 20°C.

Buoyancy: Neutral or slightly negative due to gas density (e.g., nitrogen ~1.165 kg/m³ at 20°C).

Material: Carbon steel or stainless steel for piping/tanks; elastomers for seals.

Pressure: Operating range 5–10 bar, with safety valves set at 10–15 bar.

Temperature: -20°C to +50°C operational range.

Corrosion Resistance: Coatings or SS316 for harsh marine environments.

Flow Rate: Adjustable via control valves (e.g., 100–5,000 Nm³/h).

Regulatory Compliance: IMO, SOLAS, and class society standards (e.g., DNV, ABS).
