In steam boiler plants, the deaerator plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and efficient operation. This is because a degasser removes harmful gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, from the boiler feed water. Without proper treatment, these gases can cause serious damage through corrosion in the boiler and piping. Novum Boilers offers high-quality degassers that ensure reliable operation of your system and longer life of your equipment.
The presence of oxygen in boiler feedwater can lead to corrosion of the boiler wall and other components. This can eventually lead to cracks, leaks and deterioration of heat transfer. In addition to oxygen, carbon dioxide can also cause damage, especially in piping systems. Using a degasser removes these harmful gases from the water before it enters the boiler, which extends the life of the system and significantly reduces the risk of failure.
Our degassers are designed to reduce oxygen levels in feedwater to less than 0.1 mg/l. This ensures safe and corrosion-free operation of your steam boiler. The deaerators are usually manufactured from stainless steel (SS 316) because of its high resistance to corrosion, but can also be supplied in other materials depending on customer needs. Some key features of our degassers include:
- Efficient oxygen removal by atomization and steam injection.
- Robust construction from stainless steel construction for long service life.
- Insulation with rock wool and finished with aluminum stucco plates to minimize heat loss.
- Precise steam pressure control for efficient operation at an operating pressure of approximately 0.35 bar.
