Reliable On-Site Oxygen Solutions for the Shipping Industry

BERG GaseTech oxygen generators offer a reliable on-site solution for producing high-purity oxygen in the shipping industry. They enhance safety by providing oxygen for breathing in enclosed spaces and ensuring efficient combustion. With low maintenance requirements and customizable options, these generators help shipping companies optimize operations while reducing reliance on external supplies, supporting safe and effective maritime practices.

Optimizing Shipping with PSA Nitrogen Generators

Our marine nitrogen generators are not only of the highest quality but also among the most energy-efficient in the market. This makes our PSA nitrogen generators highly effective and reliable for use in the marine and shipping industries.

Enhanced Safety

Nitrogen generators create an inert atmosphere by replacing oxygen in fuel tanks and cargo holds. This significantly reduces the risk of combustion and explosions, especially during volatile conditions like loading and unloading or when carrying flammable materials.

Cost Savings

By generating nitrogen on-site, shipping companies can avoid the expenses associated with purchasing and transporting liquid nitrogen. This not only cuts costs but also eliminates delays and logistical challenges linked to external suppliers, allowing for more efficient operations.

Cargo Preservation

Nitrogen’s ability to create a low-oxygen environment helps preserve the quality of sensitive goods, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and electronics. This reduces spoilage, extends shelf life, and ensures that products arrive at their destination in prime condition, minimizing losses.

Operational Flexibility

Nitrogen generators can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different vessels, including varying nitrogen purity levels and output capacities. This adaptability allows shipping companies to optimize their operations based on the type of cargo, voyage length, and environmental conditions, ultimately enhancing overall efficiency.

Why Choose BERG Gasetech?

Berg Gasetech’s nitrogen generators are designed to meet the demanding requirements of the aviation industry. They produce high-purity nitrogen gas on-site, eliminating the need for nitrogen gas cylinders. Our models come in various capacities and configurations to suit different aircraft needs.

We use advanced Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology in our nitrogen generation systems. This process separates nitrogen from compressed air, providing a continuous supply of high-purity nitrogen gas. The system includes an air separation module and a heat exchanger to ensure efficient nitrogen production.

some key applications of nitrogen generators in the shipping industry:

1. Gas Carriers (Inerting and Blanketing of Fuel Tanks) 

Mainly for Korean yards and gas package suppliers. With flexible purity levels, we provide high-quality solutions with low Operational Expenditure (OPEX) and Capital Expenditure (CAPEX).

Our aim is to reduce the risk of fire and explosions. Nitrogen gas is used to displace oxygen in fuel tanks—a process known as inerting or blanketing. By filling the empty space in fuel tanks with nitrogen, the oxygen concentration is significantly reduced, preventing the formation of flammable fuel-air mixtures. This is crucial for enhancing the safety of ships carrying flammable liquids.

2. Chemical Tankers (Cargo Hold Purging and Inerting) 

Nitrogen is used for purging and inerting cargo holds, especially for transporting chemicals, oil, and gas. For shipowners who prefer low CAPEX, we can be the best European option (Made in Germany).

Similar to fuel tank inerting, nitrogen prevents the cargo from reacting with oxygen, thereby reducing the risk of fire and oxidation. This is particularly important for the safe transportation of reactive or hazardous materials.

3. Retrofit (Preventing Corrosion in Ballast Tanks) 

Nitrogen is used to prevent corrosion inside ballast tanks. One of our strengths in this segment is the ease of integration we offer while ensuring low OPEX remains a key consideration.

The use of nitrogen in ballast tanks lowers the oxygen levels, minimizing conditions that lead to the formation of rust and corrosion. This helps extend the lifespan of the tank and reduce maintenance costs.

4. Offshore Platforms (Pipeline Purging and Testing) 

As we prioritize affordability and quality, our nitrogen generators are among the best choices for maintenance and testing operations on offshore platforms.

For tasks such as pressure testing, pipeline purging, and equipment maintenance, nitrogen is used to ensure a safe, oxygen-free environment. This is essential for both safety and operational efficiency in offshore operations.
