General Consideration Deaerator is mainly used to eliminate the oxygen, carbon dioxide and other non-condensable gas from the water. Operation: the water is sprayed-down inside deaerating tower and heated by the steam flowing in upward direction. The water reaches the saturation temperature at working pressure and release the dissolved gas.

The following prescription is intended as a general giudance for the execution of the main activities to be carried out during site erection. NOTE: DEAERATOR IS ASME CALCULATED FOR PRESSURE AND VACUUM OPERATION,THEREFORE MODIFICATION OF ANY PART OF THE VESSEL ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.
Check that no internals and auxiliaries have been broken during the transport or lifting. During the erection phase, the nozzles of vessels and equipment must be protected with wooden matching flanges or plugs, to avoid any damage to the surfaces in case of accidental impacts. The correct orientation of equipment nozzles must also be checked to ensure correct location of the equipment. Supports shall be checked.
TRAINING COURSE DEAERATOR C-EG1001 The following main erection phases shall be considered:
Positioning of holding tank, tightening the fixed saddle Positioning of deaerating tower and connecting downcomer and internal steam balance nozzle, tightening the relevant bolts; Tightening of tower supporting saddles; Installation of platform and ladders; Positioning of piping, supports and other equipment; Installation of electrical/instruments; Installation of deaerating tower internal parts
WHEN THE DEAERATOR MUSTS BE PUT OUT OF COMMISSIONG, THE DUTY HAS TO BE REDUCED GRADUALLY, IN ORDER TO AVOID WATER HAMMERING.
Excess of oxygen content (or improper sample Collecting) Inlet water flow-rate higher than design data Temperature below/above design data Inlet steam pressure below design data
Perform an additional measurement. Check that no air leakage is present before sampling point (to be evaluated and checked in their correctness). Check the control system of relevant valve. Synchronize working time with the steam regulation valve. Make sure that no obstructive matters or scale prevent the normal working. Check the temperature of condensate at a point very next to the deaerator and make the necessary adjustments to the up-stream equipment. Check the control system of the relevant valve, comparing its pressure with the one given on the tower pressure gauge. Make sure that the steam regulation valve does never open completely; if this occurs, may be that steam sometimes is insufficient. Check that seats are clean not encrusted or worn out. Make sure that the valve stem slides free inside the shutter Make sure that the inside distribution valves have no obstructive matters, ags, etc. Check the springs tension and release the relevant bolts, if necessary. Make sure that vent pipes both inside and outside the degassing tower are not obstructed. Make sure that the regulation of the condensate flow is smooth and that storage tank volume can meet the possible fluctuations; sudden changes in working conditions may cause an insufficient venting.
An insufficient venting may cause the retention of non condensable gasses Working fluctuations
MAINTENANCE
Regular and preventive maintenance is the periodic check of the equipment working conditions during normal operation and the removal of defects and inconsistencies observed during equipment operation. Checking vibrations of machinery, temperature/pressure of equipment, etc. Providing maintenance recommended by instruments manufacturers Replacing or cleaning spray valves and similar equipment Checking correct operation and readings of instruments Replacing gaskets Eliminating leaks
