Deaerator System

A deaerator is a device that is widely used for the removal of oxygen and other dissolved gases from the feedwater to steam-generating boilers. In particular, dissolved oxygen in boiler feedwaters will cause serious corrosion damage in steam systems by attaching to the walls of metal piping and other metallic equipment and forming oxides (rust).

In a bulk solids contex, deaeration is the term applied to the loss of excess gas from the voids of a fine, dilated powder. The behaviour of such a bulk material can give rise to many operating problems, such as 'flushing' and feeding and packing difficulties. Controling the flow state of fine powders can be a demanding task, but techniques are available to mitigate excess dilatation and accelerate deaeration. Each case has to be dealt with on merit as the condition vary so widely. See note in 'Solid Sense' - 'Challenges in handling fine powders'.
