Sloshing Monitoring System
Non-intrusive monitoring of sloshing loads can be achieved by measuring the stress in the steel structures that support the containment system in LNG carriers or directly on the tank wall.
Large LNG carriers that transport cooled natural gas can occasionally experience sloshing of the liquid inside the cargo tanks. The liquid motion can potentially exsert high pressures against the tank lining that in the worst case could compromise the containment system.
For LNG carriers it is important to measure liquid sloshing forces to avoid damage to internal insulation systems. SENSFIB Sloshing™ provides information and data on the occurrence and severity of sloshing. The system can be configured with a different number of sensors depending on the required information level.
