METHOD OF OPERATION OF WATER DECARBONIZING PLANT Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: heat-power engineering; thermal power stations and boiler plants. SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes delivery of water to be treated to decarbonizer via pipe line. Atmospheric air is fed to one decarbonizer by fan via air duct. When air passes through decarbonizer towards flow of water, carbon dioxide separated from water is absorbed by this flow. Flash steam is removed from decarbonizer via flash steam pipe line and is fed to another decarbonizer as desorbing agent. Flash steam saturated with carbon dioxide is evacuated from decarbonizer. De-carbonized water is pumped out of decarbonizer to de-aerator by means of pump. EFFECT: enhanced economical efficiency; improved operation of plant. 1 dwg
