Degasser Tank for Pharmaceutical Boiler Feedwater Plant
Product Overview
Our degasser tank for pharmaceutical boiler feedwater plant is engineered to eliminate dissolved gases—primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide—from high‑purity boiler feedwater. By delivering ultra‑low dissolved‑gas levels, the tank protects corrosion‑sensitive components, ensures consistent steam quality, and supports strict GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) requirements. The stainless‑steel construction, hygienic interior finish, and modular design make it a turnkey solution for pharma manufacturers seeking reliable, low‑maintenance feedwater conditioning.

Application Scenarios
The tank is most frequently deployed in the following environments:
- Large‑scale sterile drug‑production lines where boiler steam contacts product‑contact surfaces.
- Vaccine manufacturing facilities that require ultra‑low oxygen levels to prevent oxidative degradation.
- Biopharmaceutical plants with continuous‑feed sterilizers demanding consistent feedwater chemistry.
- Facilities that operate under GMP audit and must document gas‑removal performance for regulatory submissions.
How It Works
1. Pre‑Filtration: Feedwater first passes through a high‑efficiency particulate filter (0.2 µm) to protect downstream components.
2. Vacuum Degassing: A hermetically sealed chamber equipped with a rotary vacuum pump reduces the absolute pressure to 0.2 bar, causing dissolved gases to come out of solution.
3. Gas Separation: An internal baffle system directs liberated gases to a vent line equipped with a burst‑proof check valve, ensuring safe discharge without back‑pressure.
4. Temperature Conditioning: Inline heating coils maintain the water at the optimal temperature range (40 – 80 °C) to maximize gas‑release efficiency.
5. Continuous Monitoring: Inline dissolved‑oxygen sensors feed real‑time data to the PLC, automatically adjusting vacuum level and flow rate to meet the ≤ 5 ppb target.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a custom‑size tank?
We accept orders from a single unit upwards. Standard sizes (2 m³ – 10 m³) have an MOQ of one tank; larger or specially alloyed tanks are produced on a made‑to‑order basis with a 30 % deposit.
Can the degasser be integrated into an existing control system?
Yes. The unit ships with configurable I/O modules supporting 4‑20 mA, Modbus‑TCP, Profibus, or Ethernet/IP. Our engineering team provides the necessary wiring diagrams and software snippets to ease integration.
What is the typical lead time?
Standard stainless‑steel configurations are delivered within 15‑30 days after order confirmation. Highly customized designs (material upgrades, special dimensions, or unique instrumentation) require 45‑60 days.
Do you offer warranty and after‑sales support?
All units come with a 24‑month limited warranty covering material and workmanship. We also provide on‑site commissioning, operator training, and a 24/7 technical hotline for rapid troubleshooting.
