Wet scrubbers

Wet scrubbers, also known as scrubbers, are a fundamental element in the search for sustainable solutions for mitigate air pollution produced in multiple industrial processes. These devices, designed for the purification of gases and particles, play an essential role in various industrial applications, addressing environmental challenges and improving the air quality of the production environment and the environment.

What is the basic operation of scrubbers?

Essentially, wet scrubbers work by absorbing and neutralizing gaseous contaminants. Their operation involves introducing the contaminated gas into a chamber where it comes into contact with an absorbent liquid. This liquid, commonly water or an alkaline solution, reacts with the contaminants, removing them from the gas stream.

Applications and sectors of application of wet scrubbers?

Wet scrubbers, or scrubbers, find application in a variety of industrial processes and gaseous conditions. Their versatility and effectiveness make them a valuable option for mitigating the emission of pollutants in a variety of situations. Below are some of the processes, applications, and conditions where wet scrubbers are commonly used:

• Removal of acid gases (HCl, H2S, HF and many others)
• NOx removal
• VOC reduction
• Odor control
• Boilers, furnaces, incinerators, dryers, calciners
• Gasification and pyrolysis
• Electronics (chip manufacturing)
• Petrochemistry
• Pharmaceutical
• Alimentation and drinks
• Production and processing of fertilizers
• Pulp and paper
