Microcontroller (MCU) on LNG Tanker Air lock System

Abstract

Ship carrying bulk liquefied gases are considered one of the most dangerous cargo carrying ships because of the hazardous and flammable properties cargo. In such, ships highest safety standards are maintained to avoid any kind of accidents from taken place, explosions being the most common of them. One such safety feature that is provided in gas carrier ships is air lock, a simple yet effective feature. The aim of these papers is to describe a simple design on air lock system with the application of the microcontroller unit (MCU) based system. This design was simulated using the Proteus software and compiled using C compiler to simulate real air lock system on board using MCU.
