ProDetec supplies steam boiler water degassing systems for Australia’s brewing, beverage, food, pharmaceutical, and industrial facilities, providing oxygen-controlled regulation of the thermal degassing process to reduce steam losses and protect boiler infrastructure from corrosive damage. Degassing water by boiling is the method most facilities use to remove dissolved oxygen from boiler feed water: dissolved Oâ‚‚ in boiler feed water causes accelerated internal corrosion that shortens asset life and increases maintenance costs significantly.
Conventional boiling water degassing system setups are wasteful because fixed purge valves discharge steam continuously regardless of actual O₂ levels, resulting in typical steam losses of 0.2–0.5% of boiler output. The Centec OxySteam solves this: the OxyTrans TR optical sensor continuously measures O₂ in the steam vapour phase and controls the purge valve via PLC to discharge only when required, reducing water degassing steam losses by up to 95% and delivering payback periods as short as six months.
With over 22 years of experience and local engineering support across Australia, ProDetec supplies, commissions and supports the Centec OxySteam system for facilities that want measurable energy efficiency and boiler protection.
