deaeration
Extracting dissolved gases
Deaeration is the removal of dissolved air or other gases from a liquid, especially water.
Industrial processes use deaeration to prevent corrosion in boilers and pipes, since dissolved oxygen accelerates metal degradation.
The process typically involves heating water or exposing it to a vacuum: The plant's deaeration system removes oxygen before the water enters the steam generator.
