Deaerator Tank Repair
Scope:
Deaerator Tanks (DA) serve to protect Boilers and other components of the campus steam system by removing highly corrosive dissolved gases in the boiler make-up water. They preheat and store treated make-up water before it is pumped into the boiler. Without a properly operating DA Tank operators have to use more water treatment chemicals and energy which increases the risk of a catastrophic failure from corrosives to our steam production system.
A project is underway to replace failing DA Tanks at Medical Center Heating Plant and Central Heating Plant.
