What is an Inert Gas or IG System on Ships? - Marine Insight
2021年5月19日 · Inert gas system is the most important integrated system for oil tankers for safe operation of the ship. Inert gas is the gas that contains insufficient oxygen (normally less than 8 %) to suppress the combustion of flammable hydrocarbon gases.
Inert gas - Wikipedia
An inert gas is a gas that does not readily undergo chemical reactions with other chemical substances and therefore does not readily form chemical compounds.
What is an Inert gas | Function of IG System on ship.
2024年4月27日 · Inert Gas Systems (IGS) are vital safety mechanisms on oil vessels, displacing flammable gases with inert ones to prevent explosions. They consist of generators, scrubbers, blowers, and safety features, ensuring compliance with international regulations.
Comprehensive guidelines containing details of the design and operation of inert gas systems together with legislative requirements. This document summarises the activities and conclusions of the inter-industry working group formed to investigate fires and explosions on chemical and product tankers.
Inert Gas System - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Inert gas system: The system provides an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) blanket in tanks in order to displace oxygen and prevent the development of a flammable atmosphere, which could enable a fire or explosion.
1 This publication contains the text of guidelines for inert gas systems and relevant IMO documents on inert gas systems and supersedes the publication 860 83.1S.E. Provisions of the SOLAS Convention covering application and technical requirements for inert gas systems, together with recent developments on regulation s

How Does Inert Gas System On Tankers Work? - Maritime Page
2024年10月29日 · The inert gas system or IG system distributes inert gas to the tanks that are over-rich with hydrocarbon gases to increase the lower explosion limit (the lower concentration where the vapors can be ignited), as well as decrease the higher explosion limit (the higher concentration where the vapor will explode).
Inert Gas System - Knowledge Of Sea
2023年3月3日 · The inert gas system (IGS) consists of a main inert gas plant, using boiler flue gas to provide a gas explosion protection system, i.e. a low O2 content in the cargo oil tanks and slop tanks. This is achieved by maintaining a slight overpressure in the tanks at all times.
Inert Gas System Explained: Enhancing Safety on Oil Tankers
2024年6月12日 · What is an inert gas system? An inert Gas System also known as an IG System is a safety feature implemented in oil tankers designed to prevent and reduce fire or explosion. It works by lowering the oxygen content in the cargo tanks to a level that cannot burn, effectively making the environment non-flammable.
