70% to pass

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

A Demister
B Final filter
C Scrubber
D Deck water seal
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Demister. After the initial cleaning of flue gas in an inert gas system, the gas is passed through a demister for final cleaning. The demister is a device that removes any remaining liquid droplets or mist from the gas stream, ensuring that the final inert gas supplied to the cargo tanks is dry and free of particulates. This is a crucial step in the inert gas system to prevent any moisture or contaminants from entering the cargo tanks, which could potentially cause issues with cargo handling and storage. The other options are incorrect because: B) Final filter is not the correct term for the device used for final cleaning of the inert gas, C) Scrubber is used for the initial cleaning of the flue gas, and D) Deck water seal is a different component of the inert gas system, responsible for maintaining a water seal to prevent backflow of gas.
