With the rapid development of economic globalization, ships have increasingly become an important part of business trade, transportation, tourism, scientific research, and military applications. my country's shipbuilding industry is currently experiencing its best period in history, demonstrating strong development momentum and international competitiveness. Due to personnel and equipment safety considerations, oxygen and CO₂ Sensor are finding increasing applications in the marine industry.

Marine nitrogen generators are devices that extract nitrogen from the air. Nitrogen has wide applications in the marine industry, including pipeline purging and material transportation on ships or marine engineering equipment, as well as inerting and pressurizing cargo holds for easily oxidized, flammable, and explosive chemicals, oils, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). Marine nitrogen generators are mainly divided into two types: membrane separation nitrogen generators and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) nitrogen generators. Membrane separation nitrogen generators separate gases based on the different permeation rates of different gases through the membrane, while PSA nitrogen generators separate gases based on the principle of pressure swing adsorption, utilizing the different adsorption capacities of adsorbents for different components. Marine nitrogen generators typically have a purity of 79% to 99.99%. Our oxygen sensors are certified by Lloyd's Register (LR) and meet the requirements of such generators.

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technology extends the shelf life of food by controlling gas composition. Marine MAP systems consist of multiple functional modules, including nitrogen generation, refrigeration, humidification, ethylene removal, CO₂removal, and ozone sterilization. These modules work together to reduce oxygen concentration, increase nitrogen and carbon dioxide content, and maintain suitable humidity and temperature, thereby inhibiting the respiration of fruits and vegetables, reducing nutrient consumption, and effectively extending their shelf life.

Most importantly, oxygen alarms must be installed in personnel areas on board the ship to prevent safety hazards due to oxygen deficiency.

Our oxygen and CO₂ Sensor are highly accurate, have a long service life, and excellent long-term stability. They are currently widely used in various types of ships and can meet various needs. Customization is also available.
