The Schützen MGTANK gas detector is highly regarded for marine applications, offering reliable performance in inert environments and cargo monitoring while meeting IMO regulation XI/1/7.
Gas Detection for Inert Entry
In some industries, particularly the petroleum or oil/ gas industry, reactor vessels are intentionally flooded with an inert gas such as Nitrogen, to ensure the vapour space is too low to support combustion. Nitrogen is not itself a toxic gas, but it displaces the Oxygen. So, a purged gas environment, although it eliminates the chance of fire or explosion, produces a very real threat to human life.
Schützen MGTANK with a pump built in are suitable for pre-inert entry work. They allow for easy sampling up to 23 meter of prior to entry, and if used during work in the vessel they will
result in quicker response. The MGTANK is designed with Infra-red sensor, where the infrared beam will be broken by intruding gas and It is not affected by a lack of oxygen. It’s all-in one.
Gas Detection for Cargo Monitoring
Examples of Cargo Monitoring Scenarios:
Vessels: Monitoring for gas leaks or changes in gas concentrations in cargo holds, engine rooms, or other enclosed spaces on ships.
Storage Facilities: Monitoring oxygen levels, flammable gases, and toxic gases in warehouses or storage areas to prevent accidents or fires.
Confined Spaces: Assessing the safety of entering confined spaces within cargo facilities, ships, or trucks before personnel enter.
