Patent
·
OSTI ID:5351700
This patent describes a seawater deaerator. It comprises a water reservoir, a low pressure gas chamber above the water reservoir, a vacuum pump connected to the gas chamber for evacuating the gas chamber, gas injectors near a bottom of the water reservoir for injecting gas in the water reservoir, a conduit connected to an exhaust of the vacuum pump for recycling exhaust gas from the vacuum pump to the gas injectors, means in the gas injectors for releasing gas into the reservoir in fine seed bubble nuclei.
