DISPOSITIF DE PURIFICATION DE CONDENSAT DE VAPEUR CONTENANT, A TITRE D'IMPURETES, DES HUILES ET DES SELS

摘要

Condensed steam containing oil emulsified therein and/or salts dispersed or dissolved therein is purified by supplying the condensed steam to an arrangement of two concentric anodes 6 and 8 with a cathode 7 therebetween, the electrodes being formed of porous corrosion resistant material and subjected to an impulse direct current. Electrolysis of water present causes gas bubble formation and formation of a foam which entrains contaminant material and is forced upwardly away from the region of the electrodes by incoming condensate to be purified.
