Why do we use deaerators?...

Boiler Feed Water Treatment  :   The process through which the dissolved gases are removed from water is called "Deaeration". The equipment, which is used in this method, is called "Deaerator".  Why do we use deaerators?...  Deaeration process is generally used to control corrosion in specific systems. The presence of dissolved gases, particularly oxygen and carbon dioxide, causes accelerated corrosion. The dissolved carbon dioxide in water forms a weak carbonic acid which attacks the metal in feed systems, boiler or condensate system. One of the most serious aspects of oxygen corrosion is that it occurs as pitting. https://lnkd.in/gHAyyrV PLEASE READ MORE..... Industrial Catalyst And Classification.

Why Static Charge Is Dangerous In Industrial Or Manufacturing Industries.

⚠️ A common ignition source within Petrochemical, sparks resulting from static charge buildup and sudden discharge of it. 〽 ️ Electrostatic discharge occurs when two materials at different potentials or polarities come close enough together to generate a charge transfer. In an explosive environment, this sudden transfer of charges may be energetic enough to be an ignition source. ⚠️ Major Industrial Sources of Static electricity are:-  (a) The use of power, or conveyor belts in which non-conductive materials move over or between pulleys and rollers.  (b) Pulverized materials or dust passing through chutes or being conveyed pneumatically.  (c) The flow of fluids through pipes or conduits, or from orifices into tanks or containers. (d) The flow of gases from orifices.  (e) The use of rubber-tired vehicles. (f) The general accumulation of static charge on personnel in the workplace, particularly when they wear overalls made of synthetic materials. ...
