Why Aalborg Industries’ IGS?
By applying trendsetting technologies, Aalborg
Industries offers our customers a very
high quality of inert gas. Also, within the
Aalborg Industries Group, the combination
of our boilers’ low-oxygen flue gas as input for our flue gas type inert gas systems guarantees the best possible solutions for our
customers.
To initiate a fire you need oxygen, fuel and heat or spark. Fire generates heat. Eliminating one of 4 elements
will stop or prevent a fire. Thus, adding inert
gas with an oxygen content below 8% to the
atmosphere in the ships’ (cargo) tanks prevents
fires. One of the international laws to
secure tanker safety is the 1978 Protocol to
the “International Convention for the Safety
of Life at Sea” (SOLAS) which stipulates that inert gas systems be installed on all new tankers over 20,000 dwt.
Combustion preventing fire
At the heart of almost every inert gas generator
installation delivered by Aalborg
Industries is the unique Ultramizing® combustion
system, assuring low oxygen level
inert gas without any soot formation even
at partial load conditions.
Oil is atomized in an ultra-fine dispersion
pattern, using the combustion air for atomization.
The system utilizes a highly-efficient,
two-stage, oil/air mixing technique
which results in an oxygen depleted inert
gas without any soot formation. The bluish,
transparent oil flame is characteristic
of the Ultramizing® combustion system.
Aside from safe combustion, the Ultramizing® burner design meets our strict requirement
for low emissions, besides excellent
operation during its entire lifecycle.
The basis for Aalborg Industries Inert Gas Systems' success and strong market position was the development of a unique low-oxygen oil burner, which was patented under the name of Ultramizing burner®. In this System the oil is atomized in an ultra-fine dispersion pattern using the combustion air for atomization. This features a highly-efficient, two-stage, oil/air mixing technique, which results in an oxygen content of less than 0.1% volume and absolutely without any soot formation.
