Navim Gas Detection Systems

GAS DETECTION SYSTEMS

The gas detection system on LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) propulsion ships is essential for the safety of both the crew and the vessel. It is designed to detect leaks of LNG or other toxic gases on board.

This system comprises a series of gas sensors strategically positioned in critical areas, such as near gas loading and unloading pipes. These sensors connect to control panels that manage electronics, alarm functions, and interfaces. The central control system continuously monitors gas levels and alerts the crew if safety thresholds are exceeded.

Integration with other safety systems, such as ventilation and automatic fire extinguishing systems, enables a swift and coordinated emergency response.

LNG-powered vessels face unique risks due to onboard gas handling. LNG can evaporate, causing pressure drops in tanks that may lead to overheating and the generation of flammable gases. Therefore, accurate and reliable gas detection systems are crucial.

In collaboration with Esiwelma, Navim offers a comprehensive Gas Detection System product line for various naval applications, from cruise ships to military vessels. All systems are fully compliant with ATEX and MED certifications.
