Paramount design, manufactures & develops Degasser for removal of alkalinity from feed water to boilers, as a de alkalize unit, and for post RO for removal of Carbon Dioxide.Paramount can deliver these as a package unit tailor made for any Capacity. The largest delivered so far by Paramount has a Capacity of 750 m3/hr.

Degasser in water treatment is referred to Decarbonator where the primary importance is to remove Carbon Dioxide from the water. They play an important role when Alkalinity is present in water. Water containing alkalinity causes deposits and blocks the tubes in the boiler.

It is placed after the Cation exchanger to mechanically remove the Carbon Dioxide. Water containing Bicarbonates when passed through the Cation Exchanger is converted to Carbonic Acid. The Carbonic Acid easily breaks into Water and Carbon Dioxide.

HCO3 = H2O + CO2

This CO2 can be mechanically removed by the Degasser by blowing air counter current to the water flow.

Degasser is a simple arrangement with a packed tower having plastic rachig rings / pall rings, which enables the water flowing down breaks into droplets due to the high surface area of the packing and releases the carbon dioxide. The air blown from the bottom carries away the carbon dioxide through the vent on the top of the degasser.
