Deaerators
Deaerators remove dissolved oxygen and other non-condensable gases from boiler feedwater before it enters the steam system, preventing the oxygen pitting and corrosion that shorten the life of boilers, piping and steam-using equipment. TME’s supply is built on a spray-tray deaerator design.
Key Components
- Deaerator vessel with spray and tray (scrubbing) sections
- Storage section sized to feedwater demand
- Vent condenser
- Level and pressure control instrumentation
Applications
- Boiler feedwater treatment at power and utility plants
- Refinery and petrochemical steam systems
- Fertilizer plant utility/steam generation
