  2. Degassing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degassing

    Although this method can be applied only to oxygen and involves the risk of reduction of the solute, the dissolved oxygen is almost totally eliminated. The ketyl radical from sodium and benzophenone can also be used for removing both oxygen and water from inert solvents such as hydrocarbons and ethers; the degassed solvent can be separated by ...

  3. Deaerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerator

    Oxygen and Nitrogen are two non-condensable gases that are removed by deaeration. Henry's law describes the relationship of dissolved gases and partial pressures. Thermal deaeration relies on the principle that the solubility of a gas in water decreases as the water temperature increases and approaches its boiling point.

  4. Reverse osmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis

    RO can remove dissolved or suspended chemical species as well as biological substances (principally bacteria), and is used in industrial processes and the production of potable water. RO retains the solute on the pressurized side of the membrane and the purified solvent passes to the other side. The relative sizes of the various molecules ...

  5. Water purification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

    However no filtration can remove substances that are actually dissolved in the water such as phosphates, nitrates and heavy metal ions. Removal of ions and other dissolved substances Ultrafiltration membranes use polymer membranes with chemically formed microscopic pores that can be used to filter out dissolved substances avoiding the use of ...

  6. Water aeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_aeration

    Fountains aerate water by spraying it into the air. Water aeration is the process of increasing or maintaining the oxygen saturation of water in both natural and artificial environments. Aeration techniques are commonly used in pond, lake, and reservoir management to address low oxygen levels or algal blooms.

  7. Sparging (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparging_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, sparging, also known as gas flushing in metallurgy, is a technique in which a gas is bubbled through a liquid in order to remove other dissolved gas(es) and/or dissolved volatile liquid(s) from that liquid. It is a method of degassing.

  8. Deaerating feed tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaerating_feed_tank

    Removing oxygen minimizes corrosion and improves the vacuum quality. Liquid water loses its capacity to absorb dissolved water with rising temperatures. The feed tank temperature is maintained just below boiling. The steam heats the water in the tank; The water in the tank serves as a surge volume within the steam plant.

  9. Degasser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degasser

    A degasser is a device used in the upstream oil industry to remove dissolved and entrained gases from a liquid. In drilling it is used to remove gasses from drilling fluid which could otherwise form bubbles. [1] [2] In a produced water treatment plant it is part of the process to clean produced water prior to disposal.
