Ballast Tank & Void Space Gas Detection System

The possibility of a cracked or ruptured bulkhead leaking flammable gases into ballast tanks or void spaces represents an explosive hazard that can have catastrophic results for your ships.

The MM5001^® system is designed to give early warning (at the bridge, cargo control room, or other manned spaces) of the presence of gas so that you can take preventative action.

Major Technological Advancement

MM5001^® is a major advancement in marine gas detector technology for monitoring ballast tank gas detection and void space gas detection onboard ships. The system comprises of a central control cabinet with a touch screen panel to display information and alarm status. Within the cabinet is the main PLC controller, analysing equipment plus a pre-sampling circuit as standard. A calibration free, high performance infrared sensor provides the ultimate in reliable flammable gas analysis.

The PLC is extremely reliable with an MTBF of 20 years plus. The gas analyser does not require re-calibration and the pre-purge significantly reduces sampling cycle times.

Fully Compliant

MM5001^® is fully compliant with IACS UR F43, Exxon MOBIL MESC 2002 – Term charter, Chapter 8 & EMSA regulations for double hulled tankers.

•    Calibration free, high performance IR sensors
•    Fully flexible PLC controller
•    Programmable operation during ballasting
•    Integrated system for both gas sampling & fixed point sensors
