Degas Column Relisafe ™ CO2

Measuring the precise conductivity of ultrapure power plant water requires eliminating the masking effects of dissolved gases. The Forbes Marshall Relisafe-CO2 performs the specialised role of optimising the CO2 removal process for highly accurate degas conductivity measurement. Unlike traditional, power-hungry thermal degas columns, the Relisafe-CO2 utilises a highly innovative inbuilt heat recovery unit. This unique feature dramatically reduces electrical consumption by 60% to 70% and completely eliminates the need for secondary cooling water after the degas column. Featuring intuitive touchscreen diagnostics, this unit continuously calculates pH and dissolved CO2 in real-time while strictly adhering to ASME PTC 19.11-2008 and ASTM D4519 standards.

Mounting Types: Wall, Skid, or Structure mounted (Unit dimensions: 590mm x 329mm x 1070mm)
Outputs: Features dynamic re-transmission signals for all major conductivity and pH parameters

Industrial Applications of Relisafe-CO2
Ultrapure Water Applications: Continuous monitoring of boiler feed water and turbine condensate.

  • Inbuilt Heat Recovery Unit: Slashes electrical power consumption by 60-70% and completely eliminates the need for a secondary coolant post-degassing
  • Comprehensive Smart Display: A dedicated touch screen provides immediate visibility into specific conductivity, cation conductivity, degassed conductivity, calculated pH, and calculated CO2
  • System Diagnostics Software: Allows operators to monitor PID settings, heater limits, and acknowledge live alarms for rapid SWAS troubleshooting
  • ASTM D4519 Compliance: Ensures your ultrapure water analysis meets stringent international testing standard codes for plant chemistry

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Relisafe-CO2 use significantly less electricity than older degas columns?

The system features a unique inbuilt heat recovery feature that efficiently recycles thermal energy, resulting in electrical consumption that is 60-70% lower than traditional degas columns.

Do I need to pipe cooling water to the outlet of the degas column?

No. Due to the advanced heat recovery design, coolant is not required after the degas column, saving both water and installation complexity.

What water chemistry parameters can this system display?

The touchscreen display natively calculates and presents Specific Conductivity, Cation (Acid) Conductivity, Degassed Conductivity, Calculated pH, and Calculated dissolved CO2.

Is the Relisafe-CO2 standard compliant?

Yes, the unit is engineered strictly in accordance with ASME PTC 19.11-2008, ASTM D4519, ASTM D1066, and ASME SEC VIII Div-1 codes.

Does the system include diagnostic alarms?

Yes, the onboard software includes live diagnostic tracking and alarm history for parameters such as heater temperature limits, specific conductivity levels, and pH fluctuations.
