Which of the listed functions is the purpose of a gas scrubber in an inert gas generation system ________．

A.Cools the inert gas

B.Maintains the oxygen content at 5% by volume

C.Drains off static electricity in the inert gas

D.Maintains the water seal on the gas main

An inert gas system installed on a tanker is designed to ______.

A.aid in the stripping and cleaning of cargo tanks

B.increase the rate of discharge of cargo

C.force toxic and explosive fumes from a cargo tank to vent to the outside atmosphere

D.lower the oxygen levels inside cargo tanks，making explosion nearly impossible

The fresh air intake of the inert gas system ______，

A.Prevents the flue gas from falling below 3% content of oxygen

B.Allows the inert gas piping to be used for gas freeing the tanks

C.Opens when there is excessive vacuum on the deck water seal

D.Enables outside air to mix with and cool hot flue gasses

The blowers of an inert gas generation system aboard a tanker，will be automatically secured if ______．

A.Normal water supply at the water seal is lost

B.The temperature of the inert gas being delivered to the cargo tanks is more than 150℉

C.The cooling water supply to the scrubbers is lost

D.All of the above

You are discharging cargo and the inert gas system is in operation to inert the tanks. The pressure in a tank being discharged starts to drop below the allowable limit. What action should you take?

A.Cut in another IG fan to increase gas flow

B.Open the pressure control valve until the pressure increases

C.Open the tank isolation valve to the fully open position

D.Reduce the pumping rate

After the initial cleaning of flue gas in an inert gas system the gas is passed through what device for final cleaning ________．

A.Scrubber

B.Demister

C.Deck water seal

D.Final filter

How does an inert gas system on a tanker function to prevent explosions in cargo tanks?

A.De-energizes the "charged mist" effect

B.Maintains a positive pressure on the vent header to cool the flammable vapors

C.Inert gas filters out the flammable vapors from the cargo tank spaces

D.Inert gas dilutes the flammable vapor and air concentrations to keep them below the lower explosive limit

The deck water seal of the inert gas system ______．

A.Cools the inert gas and prevents soot from entering the cargo tanks

B.Acts as an emergency shutdown when inlet pressures exceed the safe working pressure

C.Prevents the backflow of hydrocarbon gasses into nonhazardous areas

D.Relieves sudden large overpressures in the system

What is NOT a function of the scrubber of an inert gas system ________．

A.Cool the inert gas

B.Remove particulate matter like soot

C.Maintain pressure in the tanks

D.Remove chemical impurities
