Deaerator Systems are the cornerstone of modern industrial boiler operations and high-pressure steam systems, serving as the primary defense mechanism against the devastating effects of internal corrosion. In any facility where water is converted into steam, the presence of dissolved gases—specifically oxygen ($O_2$) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$)—can lead to rapid metal degradation, pitting, and eventual system failure. As an industry leader in Equipment Manufacturing and Industrial Treatment Plant Installation, Aktif Arıtma specializes in designing high-performance Deaerator Systems that ensure your steam cycle remains efficient, safe, and long-lasting.
The Critical Role of Deaerator Systems in Industry
Deaerator Systems function by utilizing the principles of thermal physics to strip away non-condensable gases from the boiler feed water. When water is heated to its saturation temperature, the solubility of gases drops to near zero. By integrating these Deaerator Systems into the water circuit, Aktif Arıtma helps plants prevent “oxygen pitting,” a form of localized corrosion that can punch holes through thick steel in a matter of months.
Furthermore, Deaerator Systems play a vital role in removing carbon dioxide. When $CO_2$ is present in steam, it can dissolve into the condensate to form carbonic acid, which aggressively attacks return lines. By choosing Aktif Arıtma for your Pressure Tank Production and deaeration needs, you are investing in a system that not only purifies water but also protects your entire infrastructure.
Technical Fundamentals and Working Principles
How do Deaerator Systems achieve such high levels of gas removal? The process is governed by Henry’s Law and Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures. Essentially, by increasing the temperature of the water and scrubbing it with steam, the partial pressure of the unwanted gases is reduced, allowing them to escape.
Aktif Arıtma designs Deaerator Systems that focus on two main stages:
The Heating Stage: The incoming cold or lukewarm water is sprayed into a steam-filled atmosphere, raising its temperature instantly.
The Scrubbing Stage: The water is agitated or passed over trays to ensure maximum contact with steam, forcing the remaining gas molecules out of the liquid phase.
Whether your facility requires River Water Treatment Systems or complex Demineralization Systems, the final step before the boiler should always be a robustly engineered Deaerator Systems setup.
Deaerator Systems
Deaerator Systems are not just simple storage tanks; they are sophisticated Pressure Vessels that must withstand constant thermal cycling and internal pressure. At Aktif Arıtma, we ensure that every unit produced under our Pressure Tank Production line meets international safety codes. These Deaerator Systems typically consist of a deaerating section (the dome) and a storage section where the treated water is held before being pumped into the boiler.
The integration of Deaerator Systems within a broader Water Treatment framework is essential. For instance, before water reaches the deaerator, it might pass through a Sand Filter to remove suspended solids, a Carbon Filter to eliminate chlorine, and Water Softening Systems to prevent scale. Aktif Arıtma provides a holistic approach, ensuring that your Deaerator Systems receive water that is already chemically balanced.
Types of Deaerator Systems Provided by Aktif Arıtma
Depending on the steam demand and the physical constraints of the plant, different types of Deaerator Systems may be preferred.
1. Spray-Type Deaerator Systems
In a spray-type design, the water is atomized through high-efficiency nozzles. This creates a large surface area for heat transfer. These Deaerator Systems are known for their simplicity and are often used where space is a limiting factor. Aktif Arıtma optimizes these nozzles to ensure consistent performance even during fluctuating loads.
2. Tray-Type Deaerator Systems
Tray-type Deaerator Systems utilize a series of perforated trays. As water cascades down, steam travels upward, creating a counter-current flow that is incredibly efficient at removing gases. For large-scale Industrial Treatment Plant Installation projects, this is often the gold standard. Aktif Arıtma uses high-grade stainless steel for internal components to prevent erosion and corrosion within the Deaerator Systems.
Integration with Advanced Water Technologies
A high-functioning Deaerator Systems unit is only as good as the water feeding it. Aktif Arıtma excels in providing the upstream technology required to maximize deaerator efficiency.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: By removing the bulk of dissolved solids, RO systems reduce the blowdown requirements of the boiler, working in tandem with Deaerator Systems to save energy.
Electrodeionization Systems: For ultra-pure water requirements, these systems remove ions without the need for chemicals, feeding the Deaerator Systems with high-quality influent.
Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems: Ensuring the water is free from biological growth prevents fouling within the Deaerator Systems and heat exchangers.
If your project involves Nehir Suyu Arıtma Sistemleri (River Water Treatment), the pretreatment phase involving Sand Filter and Carbon Filter technology is crucial to ensure the long-term reliability of the Deaerator Systems.
Energy Efficiency and Recovery Systems
In today’s economy, energy conservation is paramount. Deaerator Systems contribute significantly to this by preheating the boiler feed water. Using exhaust steam or flash steam from other processes to power the Deaerator Systems is a classic example of Recovery Systems in action. Aktif Arıtma engineers focus on “Thermal Balance” to ensure that no heat is wasted.
By maintaining the feed water at a high temperature, Deaerator Systems reduce the “thermal shock” to the boiler, which prevents cracking and stress on the Pressure Vessels. This synergy between Equipment Manufacturing and energy management is what sets Aktif Arıtma apart in the field of Consulting & Project Engineering.
Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability
To keep Deaerator Systems running at peak performance, a consistent Service Maintenance Operation is required. Over time, nozzles can clog, or tepsiler (trays) can become displaced. Aktif Arıtma offers comprehensive maintenance packages that include:
Internal inspections of Deaerator Systems.
Testing of pressure relief valves and automation sensors.
Calibration of steam control valves.
Proper maintenance of Deaerator Systems ensures that oxygen levels stay below 7 ppb (parts per billion), which is the industry standard for protecting high-pressure boilers. Whether you are using Rental Treatment solutions or permanent installations, the health of your Deaerator Systems should never be overlooked.

Why Your Facility Needs Modern Deaerator Systems
The cost of a boiler failure far outweighs the investment in high-quality Deaerator Systems. Without effective deaeration, you face:
Increased Chemical Costs: You will need more oxygen scavengers to treat the water.
Higher Fuel Consumption: Heating cold water in the boiler is less efficient than using preheated water from Deaerator Systems.
Unscheduled Downtime: Repairs to corroded Pressure Vessels are expensive and time-consuming.
