Cross Flow Scrubber Specification

Cross flow scrubber shall be comprised of one or two stages, each having elements that are suited to the function that it performs. The first stage removes the bulk of the contaminant from the air stream. It may be continuously wetted to prevent plugging. The second stage is a mist eliminator.

In a wet scrubber, water or scrubbing liquid is the media which removes pollutants from the air. When the water is recirculated, addition of fresh water is necessary to purge contaminants that accumulate and to replace evaporation losses. Fresh water may be added to the recycle reservoir either continuously or on a periodic basis.

Scrubbers are frequently used in applications where the air stream is being treated to remove acid fumes. Strong alkali is often added to the recycled scrubbing solution in order to neutralize the acids and maintain a neutral pH. The addition of chemical may be controlled manually, or automatically by a pH controller.

The Fume scrubbers can be fabricated from homogenous, virgin-grade, UV-resistant polypropylene homopolymer, or PVC using hot gas welding methods, Mild Steel, 304 Stainless Steel, 316 Stainless Steel. All units are hydrostatically tested at the factory. The maximum temperature rating for polypropylene units is 180 degrees Fahrenheit and 140 degrees for PVC.

Bolted access ports are provided for inspection of the interior packing and mist eliminator elements. Gasket made from closed cell PVC foam is provided. Hardware is 316 S.S. maximum bolt torque 10#.
