Dust Control in Mining Industry

Wet air scrubbers efficiently replace baghouses and cartridge collectors in the mining industry. They are less expensive to purchase and operate. Scrubbers have been widely used in the mining process since the appearance of the first mine. Scrubber technology is still used in the mining industry today. More specifically, wet air scrubbers are regarded as basic air...

Consequences of Weak Air Pollution Control

Manufacturing still contributes to industrial air pollution, despite rapid advancements in process technology and air treatment regulations. Although there weren’t many industries in the past, their current growth has caused critical pollution levels to become a major global issue. Industrial air pollution is any form of pollution caused by industrial processes. Herewith, various industries are...

Wet Air Scrubbers vs. Water Wash-down Fume Cupboards

Wet air scrubbers or fume scrubbers are air treatment systems that include a bed of plastic 3D shapes over which nozzles spray a fine solution. These scrubbers offer a maximum surface area for fumes to catch as the exhaust emissions go through them. Then a mist eliminator of scrubber systems compiles the vapor from the...

Benefits of Wet Air Scrubbers for Industries

Air pollution control technology requires careful attention to industrial scrubber systems. An industrial scrubber is a type of air treatment system that removes smells and particle pollution from exhaust streams by using solids or liquids. To be more precise, scrubber systems offer the following benefits to treat gas exhaust streams: using a single system to...

Industrial Air Pollution Control: Effective Prevention Methods

The continuous rise in demand for produced goods creates an urgent need for major air pollution management for manufacturers. The fact is that the construction industry and industrial manufacturing are the biggest polluters, and these operations necessitate effective air treatment solutions. It should be noted that volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and...

Wet Scrubbers for Limestone Plants

A recently developed chemical solution enhances limestone reactivity and SO2 removal in wet air scrubbers used for air treatment processes. This scrubber technology reduces slurry recirculation, providing savings in operational and maintenance costs. It is important to mention that the chemical solution requires a reduced number of recycle pumps. Therefore, the backpressure of the wet...

Ionizing Wet Air Scrubbers for Industrial Treatment

The ionizing type of scrubber system is an air treatment device that enables the capture and removal gases and particulate contaminants from the airstreams of industrial operations. These wet scrubbers can simultaneously treat noxious gases and particulates. Wet air scrubbers offer a solution for controlling environmental air pollution, addressing today’s most pressing challenges. Several types of wet scrubbers demonstrate...

How Wet Air Scrubbers Help to Decrease Air Pollution

Air pollution control continues to be the primary challenge globally. This is why companies find scrubbers highly appealing as a solution for tackling different emissions. For example, wet air scrubbers apply a special scrubbing liquid or just water to catch chemical and particulate pollutants from emissions and remove them. Wet scrubbers are widely used by industries...

Wet Air Scrubbers: Types and Operating Principles

A wet scrubber is an air treatment device used for cleaning from mechanical impurities. Two main types of air pollution control equipment are used to solve the problems of air treatment from dust and gas emissions of industrial enterprises – dry or wet scrubbers for capturing and removing solid particulate pollutants. Dry scrubber systems of inertial,...

Scrubbers vs. Low-Sulfur Fuels: A Performance Comparison

It is a widely recognized fact that the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) established that the sulfur content in marine fuel must be no less than 0.5% by January 1, 2020. Shipowners have two options: to install air treatment devices on their ships or use fuel with low sulfur content. Which option is better – the...
