EN-FAB Deaerators are widely used for the removal of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and volatile organics from the feedwater to steam-generating boilers.

Dissolved oxygen in boiler feed water will cause serious corrosion damage in steam systems by attaching to the walls of metal piping and other metallic equipment and forming oxides (rust). Dissolved carbon dioxide combines with water to form carbonic acid that causes further corrosion and damage to injection systems.

When used in boiler feed water treatment systems, they provide a cost-effective means of removing carbon dioxide between cation and anion exchange columns.

In Vacuum dessification, (process for removing dissolved gases from water) Inside  the column, liquid is sprayed onto selected packing material through fine nozzles to increase the water/gas transfer surface. The liquid flows by gravity down through packing as a vacuum is drawn on the Column.  The vacuum causes the dissolved gas to be released, and it is extracted from the system by the suction.  Sufficient packing must be present so that enough surface area between the gas and water is available to allow the gas present in the water to reach the gas interface and finally be carried out by the evacuating system.
