Description
Automated deaeration of water through the use of an efficient, stainless steel packed stripped column. For improved oxygen removal, a pre-heater can be implemented to increase the water to a maximum temperature of 72°C and thereby efficient sterilising the water as part of the deaeration process.
Oxygen removal takes place in the CENTEC stripping column. Stainless steel packing is arranged in the column with a water distributor effectively channelling the water. It is fed into the column from the top. CO2 or N2 is fed into the bottom with the packing creating an efficient surface area to remove the oxygen from the water. The water collects in the bottom of the column and is pumped for use or further processing. A regenerative pasteurisation can be implemented for improved deaeration and sterilisation.
