The system developers designed this system specifically to meet regulatory requirements from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG), as outlined in CFR 46 part 39, parameter 39.20-13.
Key components of the system include a detector cabinet and an electric cabinet. They strategically mount the detector cabinet on the vessel’s deck in close proximity to the vapor manifolds to ensure efficient monitoring and control of vapor pressure and oxygen levels during the discharge process. Within the detector cabinet, the system incorporates EEx ia approved oxygen and pressure sensors, a flow fall switch, a 5-way manifold selector, and a calibration facility.
Moreover, the EEx ia (Explosion-proof Intrinsically Safe) approval of the oxygen and pressure sensors underscores the system’s commitment to safety, ensuring that it can operate in potentially hazardous environments without compromising the well-being of the vessel and its crew.
Additionally, the 5-way manifold selector provides flexibility in managing vapor collection lines, enabling efficient control of the vapor emission process. Furthermore, the calibration facility ensures accuracy and reliability by providing the means to fine-tune the system according to specific requirements and environmental conditions.
Scanjet developed the Macron SMV-3000 series uniquely to comply with the latest high environmental requirement.
