The systems are normally supplied with two outlets; one main outlet at 0,2 barg + one secondary stream at 8-10 barg for purging and stripping applications.
The NC-3 is normally selected for systems to act as full inert gas system according to the IMO resolution and ships sizes are usually exceeding 20.000DWT. This require the inert gas systems to meet the 125% IMO requirement. (inert gas capacity is to be 125% of cargo pups maximum discharge capacity).
As for all Air Products Norway's shipboard N2 systems, the NC-3 incorporates the highly efficient and durable Prism® membrane separator. This separator is unique due to its combination of physical strength and tolerance to hydrocarbon vapour, without compromising on separation efficiency. Beyond considerable lower maintenance cost compared to other available systems, these factors will guarantee a sound investment throughout decades of operation.
