Deoxygenation of Make-Up Water Using Gas Transfer Membranes
A deionized (DI) water storage tank is used at a nuclear power generation site in the United States. As a result, dissolved oxygen concentration in the plant make-up water was above specification. Retrofitting an existing vented tank to eliminate the vent and supply an inert gas blanket or mechanical seal is very expensive. Storage tank replacement can also be costly and may not be practical in terms of downtime and other factors. Because of these issues a GTM® system provided by Ecolochem, Inc. was installed to solve this problem. Ecolochem GTM systems utilize Liqui-Cel® Membrane Contactors manufactured by Celgard, LLC to remove dissolved gases from water streams.
