Cleaver-Brooks Introduces MiniMate® High Performance Deaerator for Small-Scale Steam Systems

ORLANDO, FL. (Feb. 10, 2025) –

Cleaver-Brooks, a leader in thermal solutions, announces the launch of MiniMate®, a compact and efficient deaerator designed to optimize steam system performance for small-scale operations. Engineered to remove dissolved oxygen from boiler feedwater, MiniMate enhances equipment longevity and reliability while reducing operational costs.

MiniMate offers several key benefits, including reducing dissolved oxygen levels to virtually zero, which minimizes corrosion and extends boiler life. This benefit delivers significant cost savings, reducing oxygen scavenger costs by up to 98%.

The deaerator features a 100% mechanical, compact and user-friendly design for easy installation, operation and maintenance. Built with 304L stainless steel, the unit ensures durability and corrosion resistance, and it offers industry-leading warranties.

MiniMate is ideal for applications such as humidification, sterilization and distillation, fitting seamlessly into space-constrained facilities and steam skid packages.

Integrating MiniMate into an operation already using a steam boiler ensures near-perfect steam purity. This improvement increases reliability and extends the lifespan of small-scale steam systems.

“As you enjoy beer and alcohol this week at AHR, know that the best beer is made with the best steam, and the best steam is made possible with the best feedwater system,” said John Lemke, product manager, Packaged Water Systems at Cleaver-Brooks.
