What is an Oxygen Scavenger

/in /by

To answer the question “what is an oxygen scavenger?”, it is important to understand that an oxygen scavenger is a product comprising one or more reactive compounds that when combined with oxygen, will reduce or completely remove oxygen in liquids. These chemicals are often used in different water treatment applications to remove oxygen from large water cooling systems, boilers, and more to prevent corrosion and debris build-up. 

What Is An Oxygen Scavenger & How Do They Work?

Oxygen scavengers are comprised of natural compounds designed to react with oxygen in order to eliminate it (oxygen). 

In boilers and water treatment applications, these chemicals are added to the systems to reduce or remove any oxygen that may be present. This will help to prevent the build-up of corrosion and scales within these systems, keeping hoses and valves clear for proper function.

Types Of Oxygen Scavengers 

/in /by

What are the different types of Oxygen Scavengers? For the purposes of understanding oxygen scavengers, an oxygen scavenger is a product comprising one or more reactive compounds that when combined with oxygen, reduce or completely remove  oxygen in liquids or enclosed packaging in order to prolong the shelf life of a product. 

How do Oxygen Scavengers work? Oxygen scavengers are a concoction of natural compounds designed to react with oxygen in order  to eliminate it (oxygen). 

What are the two primary types of oxygen scavengers? 

As a rule, generally oxygen scavengers are divided into organic and inorganic types. Typically, organic oxygen scavengers are carbon based comprising compounds using carbon based  molecules. Typically, inorganic oxygen scavengers are mineral based meaning non-carbon. 

Ecolink provides both organic and inorganic oxygen scavengers. An example of our organic  oxygen scavenger is our Tetrahydrofuran (THF) high-purity, research grade organic solvent.  Widely used in the manufacture of PVC products, THF is also used as a solvent for synthetic or  natural resins.  

Benefits of THF 

  • Organic and non toxic
  • Solvent versatility
  • Low viscosity
  • Aids in the manufacture of renewable platform chemicals and sugars

 An example of our inorganic oxygen scavengers is our Boiler Guard water treatment product.  It is specially produced for steam boilers as a scale and corrosion inhibitor and inorganic oxygen scavenger.  

Benefits of Boiler Guard 

  • Nonflammable
  • Low reactivity
  • Can be used with a wide variety of boiler sizes
