Boiler Feed Water Degasification Using Membrane Contactors- New Methods for Optimized Performance

摘要

Membrane Contactors have been used to remove dissolved oxygen in boiler feed water systems for years. This report reviews various system designs and discusses how Membrane Contactors can be optimized in boiler feed water applications for removal of dissolved oxygen as well as carbon dioxide. The report also highlights what advantages membrane systems have over conventional oxygen and carbon dioxide removal technologies. New methods of degassing that improve the overall performance of Membrane Contactors in boiler feed water systems will also be introduced.
