The main function of deoxidizers is to remove or reduce the oxygen content in water. The following are the main functions of deoxidizers:
Prevention of corrosion: Oxygen is one of the main factors causing metal corrosion. High oxygen content water can accelerate corrosion of metal equipment, pipelines, and systems, leading to equipment damage and leakage. Deoxidizers can reduce the oxygen content in water, reduce the degree of metal corrosion, and extend the service life of equipment.
Preventing oxidation reactions: Some industrial processes are sensitive to anaerobic conditions because oxygen can react with certain substances, leading to adverse chemical changes or a decrease in product quality. Deoxidizers can remove oxygen from water, maintain an anaerobic environment, and prevent the occurrence of these oxidation reactions.
Improving heat transfer efficiency: In heat exchange equipment and boilers, water with high oxygen content can form oxide deposits, reducing heat transfer efficiency. By using deoxidizers, oxygen in water can be effectively removed, the formation of oxides can be reduced, heat transfer efficiency can be improved, and energy consumption can be reduced.
Prevent microbial growth: Oxygen is a necessary gas for many microorganisms to survive and reproduce in water. By removing oxygen from water, deoxidizers can prevent the growth of microorganisms and reduce microbial pollution and biological issues in water treatment systems.
In summary, deoxidizers play a very important role in the industrial field and water treatment, including anti-corrosion, preventing oxidation reactions, improving heat transfer efficiency, and inhibiting microbial growth. The specific type of deoxidizer to be used and the method of use should be determined based on the specific application scenario and needs.
