Powerful concentrated corrosion inhibitor acts as oxygen scavengers used to effectively remove dissolved OXYGEN
This is most common oxygen treatment as a scavengers used to effectively remove dissolved OXYGEN from your feedwater. By the presence of dissolved oxygen in system, corrosion and pitting caused on metal surface. Removes dissolved oxygen, By acting as an oxygen scavenger.
A fast-acting, catalyzed sodium sulphite (Na₂SO₃) oxygen scavenger for low- and medium-pressure boiler systems. The product reacts stoichiometrically with dissolved oxygen to prevent corrosion in boilers, feed lines, and condensate systems by converting oxygen to inert sulfate.
Key Areas of Application of Oxygen Scavenger OxyGuard-S
Reaction (overall):
Na₂SO₃ + ½ O₂ → Na₂SO₄
Catalyst accelerates the reaction at lower temperatures and shorter residence times (e.g., in deaerator outlets and feedwater lines)
Power of Oxygen Scavenger OxyGuard-S: powerful stoichiometry: ~7.88 mg/L Na₂SO₃ per 1 mg/L dissolved O₂.
With safety factor (process variability, kinetics), dose 10–12 mg/L Na₂SO₃ per 1 mg/L O₂.
Typical operating targets (LP/MP boilers):
Where to feed:
Example Dose Calculation
Feedwater DO = 0.10 mg/L (100 ppb) at 20 m³/h.
Stoichiometric Na₂SO₃ = 0.10 × 7.88 = 0.788 mg/L.
With 1.3× safety factor → ~1.0 mg/L Na₂SO₃.
At 20 m³/h → 20 g/h Na₂SO₃ (as pure).
Using 38% liquid: 20 / 0.38 ≈ 52.6 g/h (~40 mL/h) (SG 1.32 ⇒ ~30 mL/h by mass; verify on site).
Fine-tune to maintain target sulfite residual in boiler.
