Why the LNG cargo tanks are inerted before aerated ? The Inerting is necessary to prevent the risk of having an Air/Hydrocarbon vapor mixture 🚨 in the flammable range. The operation continues until the HC content is reduced to less than 1️⃣.5️⃣ % Vol. It can take about 2️⃣0️⃣ hours to complete the process. In addition to the cargo tanks, all cargo pipe work, associated fittings, compressor house machinery and fuel gas supply lines must also be freed of gas 📉. Fittings and lines are usually filled with IG or N2 while the plant supplies IG to gas free the cargo tanks. |  Source : liquefiedgascarrier |
