DEAERATOR

The deaerator shall be of Forbes and Hunt Boilers manufacture or equal approved and must comply with the
following performance and construction criteria:

Construction

The deaerator storage vessel and tray vessel will be manufactured from carbon steel and have adequate
storage capacity to provide 120% of the rated capacity of the steam plant that it feeds.

The deaerator shall be fitted with individual replaceable trays, which will be manufactured from stainless steel
to ensure protection from the effects of corrosion.

The deaerator trays will be housed within a sealed stainless steel chamber, such that all corrosive gasses
extracted from the water are vented to atmosphere without contacting any carbon steel surfaces.

Steam shall enter the deaerator first coming into contact with the hottest water, which is leaving the last row
of trays and then proceed upwards through the tray stack.

The deaerator shall be designed for a maximum Working Pressure of 350 kPa and Operating Pressure of
300 kPa.

The deaerator will be provided with an adequate number of inspection openings to facilitate internal
inspection, tray replacement and cleaning.

Water Entry

The water for deaeration shall enter the vessel through a spay tube(s) which will be manufactured from
stainless steel to minimize corrosion effects.
The spay tube(s) shall disperse the water evenly across the trays where it will be controlled for suitable
deaeration to take place.

Gas Venting

All gases removed through the deaeration process shall be vented through a stainless steel vent condenser

pipe, which extends through a stainless steel tray box.

No undeaerated water or removed gasses shall come into contact with any carbon steel surfaces within the
deaerator vessel(s)

Deaerator Trays

All deaeration trays shall be manufactured from stainless steel and be suitable for replacement without the
need for specialised tools or welding.

All trays will have a controlled overflow and retention such that effective gas removal occurs, after which
deaerated water shall naturally fall into the storage area.

Deaerator Valves and Mountings

The deaerator shall be supplied complete with valves and fittings including main steam stop valve, safety
valve(s), feed water isolating and check valves, blowdown valve, and water gauges.

Equipment Access

Ladders and galleries shall be provided to the deaerator such that the necessary valves and fittings can be
operated effectively.

Control Overview

The deaerator control panel shall be rated to IP55 and incorporate the necessary controls, switches and
other components to effectively manage the system.

The control panel shall include the display of current operating conditions and fault identification.
Management System

The deaerator management system shall, as a minimum, control and detect the following:

• Automatic feed water control;

• Input pressure reduction control;
• Vacuum breaker;
• Vent valve;
• Pressure and temperature indication;
• Overflow control;
• Low water level control;
• High water level control;
