🔍 Key Concepts

• Inert gas system (IGS) purpose on tankers and how it protects cargo tanks from explosions • How a deck water seal uses a water barrier to control gas flow and prevent dangerous backflow • The difference between pressure relief, drainage/cleaning, and hazardous area segregation in cargo systems

💭 Think About

• Think about what would happen if high-pressure gas or vapors in a cargo tank tried to flow back toward the inert gas plant—what part of the system is meant to stop that? • Which component in an inert gas system specifically uses a column or level of water as a physical barrier to gas movement? • Which of the options describes a safety function that MUST still work even if mechanical valves fail or are left open by mistake?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes protection against backflow between cargo tanks and the IGS/boiler uptake side. • Eliminate any option that sounds more like a general piping function (drainage, cleaning, area classification) rather than a specific water-seal safety barrier. • Confirm that the function you pick would still work as a fail-safe if power or controls were lost—this matches how a water seal normally behaves.
