Moss Flue Gas System

Liquid Cargo Handling

Moss

The Moss Deck Water Seal is

of displacement semi-dry type
internally coated with GRP.
Upon loss of positive flow, the
water will immediately close
the seal. The mesh demister is
effectively preventing carryover of water droplets under
all flow conditons.
