The arrangement for gas freeing cargo tanks should be such as to minimize the hazards due to the dispersal of flammable or toxic vapours in the atmosphere and to flammable or toxic vapour mixtures in a cargo tank.
The ventilating system for cargo tanks is to be used exclusively for ventilating purposes. Connection between cargo tank and pump room ventilation will not be accepted.
102 Gas freeing operations should be carried out such that vapour is initially discharged in one of the following ways:
1) through the vent outlets specified in B300 or B400; or
2) through outlets at least 2 m above the cargo tank deck level with a vertical efflux velocity of at least 30 mis maintained during the gas freeing operation; or
3) through outlets at least 2 m above the cargo tank deck level with a vertical efflux velocity of at least 20 mis which are protected by suitable devices to prevent the passage of flame.
Guidance note: When the flammable vapour concentration at the outlets has been reduced to 30% of the lower flammable limit and in the case of a toxic product the vapour concentration does not present a significant health hazard, gas freeing may thereafter be continued at cargo tank deck level.
---e-n-d---o-f---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---
103 The outlets referred to in I 02 2) and 102 3) may be fixed or portable.
