The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) conducts deaerator inspections for deaerators used in industrial boiler systems. Boilers are commonplace across various industries because they are an effective way to generate heat and steam that many industrial applications require. Our inspection services help our clients ensure their deaerator and boiler systems are healthy and functioning as expected.
What is a Deaerator?
A deaerator heats boiler feedwater and removes dissolved gases, such as oxygen, to create and maintain clean water. Deaerators are commonly used in chemical processing plants and power plants because they minimize the corrosive compounds in steam-generating boilers, prolonging their service life and improving their efficiency.
Our Deaerator Inspection Services
Our inspection specialists conduct comprehensive evaluations of deaerators. Our inspection process is highly detailed, including external, internal, and performance tests, which allows us to develop a full perspective of the deaerator’s health. During our comprehensive deaerator inspections, we carefully examine the following:
- Feedwater temperature
- Spray Valves
- Distribution trays
- The concentration of corrosive gases
- Vessels, pipes, and valves
Why is It Important to Inspect Deaerators?
Deaerator inspections are essential to industrial operations because they help ensure the efficiency and safety of boilers. Deaerators are made up of multiple components and should be regularly inspected to confirm that there aren’t signs of damage, corrosion, debris, or inaccuracies within the device’s gauges. Inspections allow operators and businesses to identify and resolve issues early on, long before they result in expensive repairs, safety concerns, and equipment malfunctions. Proper deaerator inspections help companies and factories do the following:
- Maintain compliance with standards and regulations
- Uphold successful preventative maintenance strategies
- Minimize or prevent corrosion in steam systems
- Prolong the life of deaerators and boiler systems
- Ensure safe conditions for workplace personnel
