Section H Spraymaster Deaerators (Single Tank)

The Spraymaster Deaerator is a pressurized low-headroom system designed to

remove dissolved oxygen in boiler feedwater to 0.005 cc per liter, or less, and
eliminate carbon dioxide. A typical deaerator package includes the deaerator tank
mounted on a stand of appropriate height along with all operating controls, feed
pumps assembled and piped (typically knocked down for shipment and field
assembly). The tank conforms to section VIII of the ASME code.
The main deaerating portion is located internally and consists of a water collector
and steam atomizing valve. Built into a flange on top of the tank is a spring loaded
water spray nozzle which includes an automatic and manual vent valve.
Packaged Spraymaster systems offer substantial advantages through, lower cost
installation and simplified operation and maintenance. Spraymaster Deaerators
arrive on site ready for hookup to your water, steam, and electric power
connections.
The deaerator stand comes with feed pump/motor set mounted on a solid base. The
base is specially reinforced to prevent vibration wear on vital system components.
Rugged square structural tubing combines lasting strength with generous working
space for inspection or routine servicing.

Control Panel
The control panel, complete with starters, fuse protection, switches, lights and pre-
wired terminal blocks is mounted on the stand assembly. Wiring to feed pump
motor and all controls is standard.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Payback for a pressurized deaerator verses an atmospheric boiler feed system is
based on an additional capital expenditure required divided by the yearly operating
cost savings. The differential in yearly operating costs are in the following areas:
• Flash steam
• Exhaust steam
• Blowdown
• Chemical treatment
• Makeup water
• Sewer
• Intangibles
Flash Steam A percentage of the high-pressure condensate returns will flash to steam and be lost
in an atmospheric vessel application. This flash steam loss can be converted to an
energy loss and associated fuel cost.
Exhaust Steam Exhaust steam cannot be recovered in an atmospheric vessel application. This
exhaust steam loss can be converted to energy loss and associated fuel cost. An
example would be steam turbine exhaust.
Surface Blowdown Increased makeup water is required because of lost flash and exhaust steam. This
increase in makeup water requires an increase of surface blowdown. This is directly
related to cycles of concentration in the boiler. The additional blowdown loss can be
converted to an energy loss and associated fuel cost. The additional surface
blowdown may also result in an increase in capital expenditure for a larger
blowdown heat recovery system.
Chemical Treatment Dissolved oxygen content in an atmospheric boiler feedwater system relates to
water temperature. Lowering the dissolved oxygen content below what is naturally
present, based on mixed water temperature at atmospheric pressure, requires the
addition of a chemical treatment program. The most common oxygen scavenger
used is sodium sulfite. Sodium sulfite reacts with dissolved oxygen as follows:
2Na2SO3 + O2 2Na2SO4
Theoretically, it takes approximately 8 ppm of sodium sulfite as Na2S03 to
scavenge 1 ppm of dissolved O2
Makeup Water Increased make-up water is required because of lost flash steam, lost exhaust
steam, and additional surface blowdown. This additional makeup water can be
associated to a cost. Makeup water cost should be a combination of the utility
charge plus pretreatment equipment consumable costs.
Sewer Utilities often base a sewer charge on make-up water usage. If it is metered, the
additional surface blowoff should only be considered.
Intangibles It is difficult to calculate a cost savings for items such as reduced flue gas emission
due to higher plant efficiencies of steam recovery and the prevention of boiler
thermal shock.

Spraymaster Deaerators (Single Tank) Section H

PART 1 GENERAL 1.1 GENERAL

PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 HARDWARE

A. Deaerator
1. Provide one Cleaver-Brooks Model _________ spray type,
pressurized, horizontal deaerator rated at _____ pounds per
hour. The system shall be of the single tank design and shall
guarantee oxygen removal to not more than 0.005 ccs/liter in
the effluent throughout all load conditions between 5 and 100
percent. Two-compartment designs are not acceptable. The
deaerator shall be designed for operation at 5 psig, but shall be
suitable for use from 2 to 15 psig. Atmospheric operating
designs are not acceptable.
2. Feedwater and condensate shall be admitted to the deaerator
through a single spring-loaded, self-cleaning, adjustable
stainless steel spray valve, which shall provide proper internal
vent condensing and water distribution at any load between 5
and 100 percent of rated capacity. The water temperature in
the primary heating and vent concentrating section is to be
raised within 2 or 3 °F of steam temperature and most of the
gases released. The water is then to be collected in a conical
water collector. From there, it is to flow to an atomizing valve
where high velocity steam strikes it, breaks it down into a fine
mist, and heats it to a full steam saturation temperature. The
mixture is to strike a deflecting baffle, which separates water
and steam. Hot, gas-free water is to then drop to the storage
compartment to complete the cycle. The steam and non-
condensables are to flow upward, through the primary heating
spray, into the internal vent concentrating section, where they
contact the cold influent water. Here, the steam is to be
condensed to continue the cycle. Released gasses are
discharged to atmosphere through the vent outlet. All internal
surfaces, which come in contact with un-deaerated water, shall
be constructed of Type 316 stainless steel.
3. Automatic vent valve shall be thermostatically controlled to
provide a fast means of venting when a sudden buildup of
gases occurs, such as seen at start up. The manual vent valve
shall have an orifice for continuous minimum venting. Venting
rate shall not exceed 0.1 of 1% of the rated deaerator capacity
at 5 psig.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Payback for a pressurized deaerator verses an atmospheric boiler feed system is
based on an additional capital expenditure required divided by the yearly operating
cost savings. The differential in yearly operating costs are in the following areas:
• Flash steam
• Exhaust steam
• Blowdown
• Chemical treatment
• Sewer
• Intangibles
Flash Steam A percentage of the high-pressure condensate returns will flash to steam and be lost
in an atmospheric vessel application. This flash steam loss can be converted to an
energy loss and associated fuel cost. Returning condensate to a pressurized vessel
decreased the amount of flash steam created and reduces losses to atmosphere.
Exhaust Steam Exhaust steam cannot be recovered in an atmospheric vessel application. This
exhaust steam loss can be converted to energy loss and associated fuel cost. An
example would be steam turbine exhaust.
Surface Blowdown Increased makeup water is required because of lost flash and exhaust steam. This
increase in makeup water requires an increase of surface blowdown. This is directly
related to cycles of concentration in the boiler. The additional blowdown loss can be
converted to an energy loss and associated fuel cost. The additional surface
blowdown may also result in an increase in capital expenditure for a larger
blowdown heat recovery system.
Chemical Treatment Dissolved oxygen content in an atmospheric boiler feedwater system relates to
water temperature. Lowering the dissolved oxygen content below what is naturally
present, based on mixed water temperature at atmospheric pressure, requires the
addition of a chemical treatment program. The most common oxygen scavenger
used is sodium sulfite. Sodium sulfite reacts with dissolved oxygen as follows:
2Na2SO3 + O2 2Na2SO4
Theoretically, it takes approximately 8 ppm of sodium sulfite as Na2S03 to
scavenge 1 ppm of dissolved O2
Makeup Water Increased make-up water is required because of lost flash steam, lost exhaust
steam, and additional surface blowdown. This additional makeup water can be
associated to a cost. Makeup water cost should be a combination of the utility
charge plus pretreatment equipment consumable costs.
Sewer Utilities often base a sewer charge on make-up water usage. If it is metered, the
additional surface blowoff should only be considered.
Intangibles It is difficult to calculate a cost savings for items such as reduced flue gas emission
due to higher plant efficiencies of steam recovery and the prevention of boiler
thermal shock.

A. Provide one (1) Cleaver-Brooks Model SSP_____ Signature Series
spray type, pressurized, horizontal deaerator rated at _____ pounds
per hour. The system shall be a single tank design. Performance is
guaranteed to remove oxygen to not more than 0.005 ccs/liter in the
effluent throughout all load conditions between 5 and 100 percent
with a 20:1 turndown ratio. The deaerator shall be designed for
operation at 5 PSIG, but shall be suitable for use from 2 to 15 PSIG.
Feedwater, low and medium temperature condensate shall be
admitted to the deaerator through a single spring-loaded, self-
cleaning, adjustable stainless steel spray valve, which shall provide
proper internal vent condensing and water distribution at any load
between 5 and 100 percent of rated capacity.
PART 2 PRODUCTS 2.1 DEAERATOR
A. The water temperature in the primary heating and vent
concentrating section is to be raised within 2 to 3 °F of steam
saturation temperature causing the majority of non-condensable
gases to be released. The water is then to be collected in a stainless
