Efforts have been made to make the manual brief and well arranged, keeping the operators’ need in mind at all times. ‘The production of inert gas is normally controlled by the engineers, distribution of the gas by the deck ofticsr in charge of cargo operations. ‘While studying tho manuel, both Groups of operators should pay special attention to the part Of the system they are going to operate. Thay ahould also os aware that failure to’ comply with the anstructions ‘here Provided may causa damage or foulty operation not covered by Guarantee. ‘The manual is split in two volumes. Volune 1 containes plant description, Operating instructions and “plant upkeep instructions. “Volune 2 containes the vendors" manuals. We reconnend for new operators to start by reading the first eight sections of voluse 1. We must stress the importance of being familiar with section 6, Safety Procedures. Inert gas can be dangerous, and everybody onboard should know the precautions necessary to Drevent accidents. Finally, we would Like to stress the importance of proper ‘raining Of new operators, of reguiar maintenance and of keeping the reconnended spare parts onboard at ali times. This constitutes your best guarantes for satisfactory plant operation.

With ita 21000 Na®/h capacity the flue gas aystem becomes the big brother of the Zamily. Boiler fiue gases form the basis for inert gas production in the flus gas cystom. From one or both of the boiler uptakes the hot end dirty gases are drawn via flue ges isolating valves (XV-1.90a/8) to the FCS scrubber unit. Here the gas is cooled and cleaned with sprayed sea water, then dried in @ demister before finally Leaving the unit ae a euitable inert gas. 98,58 of the sootparticle larga than 1 micron have been removed. The 50, content is reduced to less than 150 p-p.m- After the scrubber untt the gas is piped to either of two poraitel inert gas blowers.

They have both got valve positioners in addition to pneumatic actuators. Valve (PCV-3.45A) leads to the dack main, valve (PCV-3.455) to the reciroulation line and back to ‘the scrubber unit.

Its main objective is to Fopressurize the cargo tanks with inert gas. Such an activity is necessary, for “instance during loaded Pessage, because of untight tank hatches etc. Positive Rank pressures are necessary to avoid ingress of air into ‘the ullage spaces. ‘The generator production of inert ges is based on nearly stoichionetric combustion of Light marine diesel ofl and fresh air.

It ie merely setiveted a few seconds when the plant is started. The provision of combustion air is undertaken by the single-stage TUG blower (K-1.21). The eir supply is @istributed to pilot burner end main burner, in order to adapt the air supply to the generator requironents, the main burner is fitted with a special air by-pass outlet. The air supply is finally used to cool gauge glass and flame sensor of the main burner. Fuel supplies to both pilot burner and main burner ere effected by a joint fuel punp (P-7.22].

This velocity results’ in a pressure drop through the venturi, ceusing ‘the suspended water’ droplets and” soot. particles to be Goposited on the walls of ‘the venturi. The water droplet run down the sides of the venturi and wash ‘the deposited soot particles to the lower part of the scrubber, fron where the resultant siurry is discharged overboard. The nozzie holes sust then point vertically downwards. 98.58 of soot perticles of 1 micrometer and above ars effectively removed. ‘The pressure drop across the venturi is adjusted by varying the anount of sea water ‘Sprayed through the two nozzles mounted in the venturi upper part. ‘The anount of ea water entering the venturt ie controlled by the Venturi, adjusting valve (xV-2.34) placed Upstresm of the nozzles. ‘The venturi pressure drop can be measured by connacting the ends of a approx. 4 m long ‘transparent plastic hose to tha two test gauge connection holes.

The pall rings Drovide e large contact surface area between fhe gas and water. This is an essential feature for ‘the effective absorption of the sulphur Gioxide. The efficiency of the $0, absorption @epends’ on the flowrate, temperature. and Salinity of the sea water, and varies between 95% and 98%.

The efficiency increases as the ea temperature {s lowered end the flowrate is increased. 80, absorption is reduced in fresh water. ‘The rising gas then passes through a demister (droplet elininator), which prevents the water Gropiets from being ‘drawn into the inert gas blowers. The domister consists of a series of individual flow channels through which the gas Flow deviates. the recultent loss of inertia in ‘the gas flow causes the water droplets to be deposited on the walls of the flow chennels. The water droplets gather to form large? droplets, which flow back to the scrubber tower Botton. Manholes are provided in both the packed bed section and the section above the eliminator.

In refinery operation pyrophoric iron sulphide is well recognized asa potential source of, ignition, Pyrophoric deposiets are’ apt to. accusulate “in storage tanks in sour’ crude Service and in process equipment handling sour Streans. When such tanks or equipment ace taken Out of service, it is notmei practice to keep all “internal curfaces ‘thoroughly vet during Ventilation so thet thera can be no pyeophoric, reaction before the equipment is made gaatrecs Deposits and eludge must bo opt vet until, Fenoved to. a safe area where subsequent, ignition wil1 cause no damage. Numerous fires have occured when deposists have dried out prematurely. While pyrophoric iron sulphide ie 4 widely Fecognized ignition gource in shore-based operation, it hae rarely been cited ae the eause of 2 marine ignition. Presumably marine operations have” been free of this hecard because cargo tanks (of non-inerted ships) nornally ‘contain some oxygen in. the vapour space. “The presence of oxygen inhibite the conversion of iron oxide to iron sulphide by hydzogen sulphide. Cargo tanks which are fnerted may contain Little or no. oxygen. Thus there ie possibility that pyeophoric —deposists may be formed when sour cargo ie careied. In norma! operation of inerted tankers the cargo tanks are not allowed to become flammable at any time. Thus the presence of any pyrophoric Geposits in the cargo tanks or in the vent. and inert gas piping vould not result in an ignition. However, if the inert gas plant were te. become inoperable, cargo. or ballast @ischarge with air entering the cargo tanks could result in @ {lanmable atmosphere with the Fisk of ignition if pyrophorie deposits were, present. Host foresesable inert ges eystem Failures are gradual and can be avoided by. tinely maintenance, Furthermore, most break= dovns can be repaired adequately in 2 few hours.
