Inert Gas Generator in Qatar – IGG & IG Control Systems for Tanker Safety The Inert Gas Generator (IGG) & Inert Gas (IG) Control Systems, available at Bushtorm in Qatar, provide reliable explosion protection for oil, chemical, and product tankers. By delivering low-oxygen inert gas to cargo tanks, the system prevents flammable atmospheres, reduces fire risk, and supports safe cargo handling and tank venting. Designed for continuous marine duty, our IGG solutions combine robust combustion units, efficient scrubbing, and precise O₂ control—ideal for Qatar’s ports, offshore operations, and shipyards. What is an Inert Gas Generator (IGG)? An inert gas generator produces oxygen-depleted gas (typically O₂ ≤ 5%, operator-settable) by burning fuel in a controlled chamber and then cooling, washing, and drying the flue gas before delivery to cargo tanks. The IG control system maintains target oxygen levels and tank pressure, while alarms protect against over-pressure, under-pressure, or high O₂. On ships, the IGG runs during cargo discharge, tank cleaning, and gas-freeing preparation, ensuring tanks remain below the flammable range and SOLAS-compliant. Key Features Low-O₂ Output – Stable inert gas with adjustable oxygen setpoint High-Reliability Combustion – Automatic ignition, flame monitoring, and fuel control Two-Stage Scrubbing – Cooling washing to remove SOx/particulates and reduce dew point Redundant Blowers – Duty/standby fans for continuous operation Precision IG Control – O₂ analyzers, pressure control valves, and deck seal safety Smart Alarms & Logging – O₂ high, pressure high/low, trip history, trend data Marine-Grade Build – Compact skid, corrosion-resistant materials, class-approved design Easy Integration – Interfaces with cargo control room (CCR) and AMS/IAMS Working Principle Combustion: Diesel or marine fuel burns with excess air to create flue gas. Cooling & Scrubbing: A scrubber cools and washes flue gas to remove contaminants. Drying: A demister reduces moisture for stable delivery. Blowers: IG blowers push gas through deck safety devices to cargo tanks. Control & Safety: O₂ analyzers, pressure sensors, and interlocks keep tanks inerted and protected.
