Currently, the quest for improved air quality leads manufacturers to seek the most effective air treatment systems while designing a spray booth for their activities. The most popular application of air treatment devices in modern spray booths is the painting process, in which the scrubbing system captures paint overspray and other air pollutants before they find their way to the atmosphere.

Traditional air treatment systems are categorized into two primary types: wet scrubbing and dry scrubbing systems. The functioning of many spray booths in manufacturing relies on dry scrubbers due to their comparatively low cost.

Wet air scrubbers are considered to be more efficient. Wet scrubbers catch paint overspray with water solution and place them into a special collection tank that should be cleaned of sludge from time to time. Wet scrubbing systems are ideally suited for operations with a high level of production rates.

When it comes to processes of paint overspray and waste removal, the task is considered to be very a costly, time-consuming effort. In this case, wet scrubbing technology for paint spray booth cleaning systems remains standard. According to data, about 90% of manufacturers prefer wet air scrubbers.

For example, automotive spray booths often apply wet scrubbing systems that allow capturing contaminants from paint overspray by a chemically treated water solution. Air passes through a continuous curtain of mowing water solution and paint contaminants are scrubbed out and collected into a special tank during the air treatment process.

Chemicals, sludge, and other waste must be disposed of after the air treatment process properly. Compared to dry scrubbers, wet scrubbing systems are less labor intensive, which means that less manpower is required to install and support contaminant-free environmental conditions for better scrubbing operation.

Air treatment devices based on wet scrubbing offer more advantages that include:

• flexibility to different fields of application;
• spotless and efficient collection of contaminants;
• accommodation to high production rates;
• possibility to maintain constant airflow in the spray booth because of constant; static pressure through the wet scrubber;
• no recurring expense, compared to dry scrubbing systems;
• low downtime for cleaning or changing.
