Carbon Dioxide Cargo on Gas Carriers/Перевозка диоксида углерода на газовозах

Издание на английском языке
This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the safety, design, and operational considerations for transporting CO2 as a cargo. It discusses key safety philosophies, toxicity risks, pressure conditions, impurities, and specific temperature and pressure requirements. The book reviews relevant regulations, such as the IGC Code and SOLAS, along with industry-guided best practices. It covers essential design aspects including material selection, cargo tanks, piping, gas detection, pressure relief systems, and interface requirements with terminals. Additionally, it addresses operational procedures, cargo information management, transfer processes, emergency systems, and handling of solid CO2 in containment.
