Question 159Safety & Environmental - QMED

The correct answer is A) supply conditioned gas with reduced oxygen content. The primary function of a "flue gas type" inert gas system is to reduce the oxygen content of the gas to create an inert atmosphere, typically for use in cargo tanks or other enclosed spaces on a vessel. This helps prevent the risk of explosions or fires by lowering the oxygen concentration. The system does not produce 100% oxygen-free gas (B), generate high oxygen content gas (C), or produce 100% pure nitrogen (D), which are not the main purposes of this type of inert gas system.
