When the Inert Gas System is running normally, the output of the I/P converter is connected to the final control element (e.g. control valve, auto choke valve). Whether the terminal input is connected to DCS or PLC depends on the system being used. The I/P converter can be separated into two parts: electronic part (electronic…

Mixed Reality (MR) looks set to be the way forward in learning and development as the marine industry undergoes digital transformation. The multifunctional abilities of MR technology, from safety to remote assistance, proves its versatility in the real world. What is Mixed Reality (MR)? Mixed Reality (MR) is a type of immersive technology that overlays…
After repairing your incinerator refractory, it is important to dry out the moisture in the refractory material by preheating the refractory. Take note! The moisture released during the thermal decomposition of the hydrates needs to be removed slowly. Preheating the new refractory too quickly may lead to the sudden formation of steam inside, and this…
Marine compressors are integral to the proper functioning of your vessel. Many pieces of equipment on-board your vessel are dependent on the compressed air that the marine compressor generates. This compressed air serves many purposes such as air filtration, nitrogen generation, and offshore drilling exploration. If you care about your vessel, you should care about…
Needed to produce steam to heat and process loads on ships, marine boilers are an integral part of vessels. Given their necessity, it’s extremely important for vessel owners to check and maintain the health of their boiler. In fact, regular boiler maintenance allows ship owners to avoid the extremely costly consequences that come with boiler…
The type of refractory repair needed for marine incinerators depends on the extent of damage to the refractory lining. The original equipment maker, Atlas Incinerators A/S, distinguishes three types of repair: Repair type 1: For a damaged area of less than 4 cm³ and cracks between 3 – 5 mm. Repair type 2: For a…
Oxygen analyzers, which can measure the oxygen level in enclosed spaces, are an essential piece of equipment for inert gas systems onboard vessels. Regardless of the type of inert gas system – flue gas system, inert gas generator, nitrogen generator, etc – the data from oxygen analyzers ensures that the oxygen level of the product…
