PACKED BED SCRUBBERS

Removing a variety of contaminants from industrial exhaust gases, packed bed scrubbers are air pollution control devices used primarily for acid gases, basic gases, soluble vapors, and odors. Wet scrubbers utilize a reaction vessel filled with packing material, and scrubbing liquid with either counter- or co-current flow to remove contaminants from the air, ensuring that the facility operations meet environmental and regulatory standards.

Turner EnviroLogic has provided high-efficiency pollution control solutions since 1981. With thermal oxidizers and wet scrubbers, we deliver complimentary, innovative air pollution control equipment that meets emission standards for reliable, cost-effective solutions.

How Do Packed Bed Scrubbers Work?

Packed bed scrubbers pull the contaminated air into a column that is filled with packing material which increases the surface area for gas-liquid contact. The gas flows upward through the column, where it comes in contact with a scrubbing liquid, either water or a chemical solution, and as it passes through the bed, the pollutants are absorbed or reacted into the liquid to clean the air. Before exiting the scrubber, the gas passes through a demister which removes any aerosolized scrubbing liquid generated in the equipment. Finally, the cleaned gas exits the system, and the scrubbing liquid is recirculated or treated.

Key Features of Packed Bed Wet Scrubbers

Wet scrubbers deliver high removal efficiencies for gaseous pollutants, including acids gases, basic gases, soluble vapors, and odors for various industrial facilities. With the capability to generate custom designs, we develop specific solutions to match the application with durable construction materials to withstand a range of corrosive environments. We manufacture packed-bed wet scrubbers to deliver reliable pollution control with low-pressure drop and energy-efficient operation in a compact design. Our systems include:

Woven Fiberglass Scrubber Body for Corrosive Applications
Chemistry-Specific Packing Materials
Spray Lance for Proper Liquid Distribution
High-Efficiency Demister Pad
Pre-Piped Recirculation System complete with Skid-Mounted Pumps and Instrumentation
Custom-Built and Enclosed Controls for pH, Conductivity, or ORP

Packed Bed Scrubbers for Industrial Applications

Often applied to the removal and neutralization of acid gases like HCl, HF, and SO₂, wet scrubbers are used in both industries which generate these compounds and those which use thermal oxidizers for control of halogenated hydrocarbons like polyvinyl chloride and PFAS. Likewise, they deliver energy-efficient operations for managing odors, fumes, and basic gases like ammonia. Industries that benefit from utilizing packed bed scrubbers in their facilities include:

Specialty Chemical processing
Polymers and Polymer-Precursors Processing
Metal finishing
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Food and beverage processing
Waste management
Mineral Extraction
