Course Description:

 

Deaeration is primarily the mechanical removal of dissolved gases from a fluid, in this case, water. There are many industrial processes that require gas-free water. Deaerators are commonly used in steam plants to heat boiler feedwater sufficiently to expel dissolved gases such as oxygen and dissolved carbon dioxide.  Deaerators have a very significant impact on the operating costs of every steam plant – they are often large users of steam, and their poor performance may also raise the risk of a far more insidious plant-wide problem – corrosion. Boiler feedwater normally contains two harmful dissolved gases – oxygen and carbon dioxide. The purpose of deaeration is to remove these gases before they are liberated in the boiler. This reduces corrosion in the pre-boiler, boiler, steam lines, condensate lines, and heat transfer equipment. 

The best performance guarantee from a deaerator manufacturer is 0.005 cc/L of oxygen. Residual oxygen in the water from mechanical deaeration is subsequently removed by chemical deaeration, that is using a chemical oxygen scavenger. When mechanical deaeration is not available, chemical deaeration may sometimes be adequate by itself, but for most systems, a combination of deaeration methods is employed. 

This webinar covers many key design and operational aspects of both mechanical and chemical deaeration. The focus is on the optimization and troubleshooting of mechanical thermal deaerators as well as the proper application of a myriad of oxygen scavengers (reducing agents) including sulfite salts and volatile organic products.  This course also addresses many other topics such as monitoring techniques, the safety-related problem of deaerator cracking and the selection of the optimum chemical oxygen scavenger product (and when not to use a scavenger).

  • If you cancel more than 10 (ten) business days before the training event:  the full amount will be refunded minus a US$75.00 and a US$35.00 administration charge for an online course and webinar, respectively.
  • If you cancel between 3 and 9 business days before the training event: 50% of the full amount paid will be refunded.
  • If you cancel less than 3 (three) business days in advance:  you can request a non-refundable credit, valid for 12 months from the date of the original payment, which can be applied to a different iwtA online course or webinar. Credits are transferable within your company – simply contact the Registrar at info@iwtacademy.com with your request giving the name and email address of the co-worker taking your place.
  • If an instructor is not available due to unforeseen circumstances, another instructor of equal ability (decided at the sole discretion of iwtA) will be substituted whenever possible; if a suitable instructor is unavailable, the course will be cancelled and rescheduled. iwtA reserves the right to cancel courses, change instructors, or change course content. If iwtA has to cancel a course due to unforeseen circumstances, a full refund will be issued to the registrant.
  • No training booking will be final and confirmed until the full amount is paid either by credit card or bank transfer.

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to all participants that attend a given online course or webinar in its entirety.

The Industrial Water Treatment Academy (iwtA) is currently in the initial stages of seeking an ANSI-accredited international standard certification in Continuing Education that will enable iwtA to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to its course participants. We expect this milestone to be reached by 2023.

You must make the payment through the intermediary (Paypal or Stripe) in USD or other foreign currency subject to exchange rates and/or service commissions.
