Components of plant
Scrubber
- Flue gas passes to the scrubber via the uptake valve, here it enters at
the bottom via a water seal and passes up through a series of sea
water sprays and baffle plates being cooled and cleaned before exiting
via a demister
The water is supplied via the scrubber pump, the sprays reduce the
temperature to within 2oC of the seawater temperature, the sulphur
dioxide content is reduced 90%, and the gas is clear of soot.
The tower is rubber lined and other parts are made of inconel or
glassfibre to protect against the SO2 .The water seal at the bottom is
provided by the weir arrangement fitted to the drain system.
Fans
- Two types of fans are fitted, a steam turbine driven one of sufficient
capacity to supply I.G requirements during cargo ops, and an
electrically driven unit with sufficient capacity for topping up only
A blank on a stub pipe may be removed to allow the fans to blow fresh air
up the I.G. main when gas freeing
Oxygen monitor
- Fitted just upstream of the regulating v/v and initiates an alarm if
oxygen content above 8%.
-
Non-return v/v
- Purpose similar to the deck seal
