Oxygen Scavenger

An oxygen scavenger is a chemical substance that is used to reduce or completely remove oxygen in fluids and enclosed spaces to prevent oxygen-induced corrosion. It is also known as an oxygen absorber. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in oil and gas production installations, packaging, production separation and seawater injection systems. Oxygen scavengers increase the shelf life or service life of the components under protection. The components of an oxygen absorber vary according to intended use, the water activity of the product being preserved, The amount of oxygen to be removed, Characteristics and field conditions,Ability to passivate metallic surface and other factors. 

we are manufacturing  many types of oxygen absorbers available to cover a wide array of applications. Oxygen scavenging technology can quickly reduce oxygen levels in sealed containers to below 0.01%. Even very low levels of oxygen can cause corrosion. Table I shows the concentrations which must be complied with in deaerated water if corrosion to steel is to be avoided:

Oxygen Limits (mg/L)

Type of Water                                Maximum Oxygen Concentration (mg/L)

Cold Water                                      : 0.300

Hot Water                                        : 0.100

Low Pressure Boilers (<250 psi)   : 0.030

High Pressure Boilers                    : 0.005 

Sources of Oxygen
A major obstacle in planning any boiler treatment program is the difficulty of estimating the oxygen present in a system or being added with the make up. Temperature is an especially critical factor. Since oxygen is not an ionizable gas, its solubility is much more temperature dependent than is carbon dioxide. Low temperature make up water contains as much as 10 mg/L of oxygen and hot feedwater about 3 mg/L. A variation from 40° F to 80° F in our water source results in a drop in oxygen content from 13 ppm to 8 ppm. Concentrations of oxygen are usually expressed as cubic centimetres per litter (cc/L) or millilitres per litter (ml/L).Oxygen may also be reported by weight: 1 cc/L or ml/
