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.
