Keep your machineries running with Oxygen Scavengers

Industries that use feeder systems, industrial boiler systems, oil and gas equipment and steam raising plants need something known as Oxygen Scavengers (RXSOL-50-5023-025). Metallic corrosion is a significant issue that these types of industries might face in regular intervals. This corrosion might interfere with the operation and maintenance of these systems and thus cause failure of machineries. If the corrosion is left untreated for a longer period of time, the boiler water derived oxygen will further corrode metallic components that will lead to diminished boiler efficiency and increased maintenance costs.

To ensure that such problems do not arise and the boiler systems work at their optimum capacity, correct water condition needs to be maintained at all times. Carefully selected oxygen scavengers can save the problem from reoccurring since these are designed specifically for steam raising plants, industrial boilers, hot water systems etc. The oxygen scavengers are scientifically formulated technically advanced powder that helps in combating detrimental effects of corrosion due to oxygen deposits. They not only extend the plant and equipment life but at the same time reduce maintenance cost and maintain efficient operating conditions.

An Oxygen Scavenger is used to arrest oxygen which is found in the sea water.  The chemical is a perfect blend of carefully designed active bisulphate solution and other inorganic chemicals. The chemicals the scavengers remove dissolved oxygen thus yielding a clean corrosion free system. The powder when dissolved with water and added to boiler feed water and other oxygen contaminated systems, helps in removing oxygen deposits.  The chemical can be added to softened water and diluted completely. Once diluted, the product can be mixed with any boiler chemical for treatment. Care needs to be taken that the dosing equipment should be made of stainless steel, PVC or polyethylene. These oxygen scavengers are water based which are effectively used in seawater injection too. The chemicals in the scavengers help to keep the level of dissolved oxygen in the system not more than 20 parts per billion of concentration. It is imperative to remove all traces of oxygen corrosion from vessels tanks and equipment associated with sea water and surface supply lines. The treatment results in improved water quality, maximized output  through production, enhanced infectivity, improved operational reliability and better environmental, health and safety compliance.

The RX Marine oxygen scavenger comes in a white granular powder form which needs to be stored in cool, dark place. The chemical is available in myriad packaging options thus proving economical to use.  RX Marine always provides datasheet with all its chemicals and the same applies to oxygen scavenger. Consumers need to read the instruction manual carefully before using the product. Always use appropriate protective gear such as safety goggles and gloves when using chemicals. The oxygen scavenger is not harmful to transport but is harmful is swallowed o taken internally. Its contact with acids might liberate toxic gases.  Contact with eyes and skin should be avoided. If it is swallowed, immediate medical attention is required.
