Oxygen Treatment scavenger is a class of chemicals added to react and remove oxygen in water to protect against oxygen induced corrosion. The use of Sodium Bisulphate as a chemical deoxygenator is economical within certain limitations imposed by the dissolved oxygen content. Sodium Bisulphate is relied on as the sole means of oxygen removal. Generally, costs are balanced by removal of as much of the oxygen as feasible by mechanical means, e.g. deaerator and by using Sodium Bisulphate to react with the residual oxygen.
To prevent corrosion and pitting it is desirable to feed the Sodium Bisulphate. Oxygen scavengers capture the dissolved oxygen in a harmless chemical reaction that renders the oxygen unavailable for corrosive reactions.
