Effect of Deaeration and Sodium Sulfite Addition to MSF Make-up Water on Corrosion of Evaporator and Heat Exchanger Materials

A near zero oxygen level is normally maintained in MSF make-up water by mechanical deaeration followed by Na2SO3 addition. Is the complete removal of dissolved oxygen from the make up water beneficial to evaporator and heat exchanger materials which invariably require a stable protective oxide layer...
