Inert Gas Definition, Examples & Uses

The Inert Gas Generator is a critical system used on Oil/Chemical Tanker Vessels, tasked with producing Inert gas. This gas, typically containing less than 8% oxygen, plays a pivotal role in preventing the combustion of flammable hydrocarbon gases. By upholding a non-flammable atmosphere within cargo tanks, the I.G. System acts as a formidable barrier against potential explosions, ensuring the safety of both the vessel and its cargo. | Chief Jep
