Question 1418 Deck General

The correct answer is C) inert gas. To prevent a flammable atmosphere from occurring in a tank container, the use of inert gas is the most effective method. Inert gases, such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, displace the oxygen in the tank, thereby eliminating the potential for a combustible atmosphere. This is in line with the regulations and industry best practices for the safe transportation of hazardous materials. The other options are not as effective in preventing a flammable atmosphere. A combustion stabilizer (A) or an oxidizer (B) would not remove the oxygen from the tank, and a vortex eliminator (D) is primarily used to prevent the formation of vortices during tank filling or emptying, not to address the flammable atmosphere.
