MACH Engineering Wet Scruber Services

Keep air contaminants to a minimum with the help of our versatile wet scrubber systems. You can use our complete scrubber systems to remove a variety of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrochloric acid in industrial applications. Industries that require scrubbers range from manufacturing and chemical processing to steel milling and agriculture.

Some of the materials we use to construct our wet scrubber systems include:

Steel, titanium and other durable metals
Polypropylene
Polyethylene
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Other common polymers, such as PVC and CPVC

Customization is our specialty, and we’ll enhance your operations by designing a packed bed wet scrubber that meets your specifications. We have the expertise to offer scrubber design for any industry or application.

We can create designs for a range of job sites with materials such as metals and plastics. We also take several factors into account when we design scrubber systems. Some of these include:

Liquid to gas ratio
Chemical additives
Packing chamber size
pH control
Pressure drops
Wash liquid flow rate
Vapor pressure
Pollutant solubility
Precipitation of reaction products
Packing media specifications
Scrubbing stages
Percent removal efficiency

Factors That Impact Design of Custom Wet Scrubbers

At MACH Engineering, our team develops custom wet scrubber systems to suit your unique applications. We collaborate with your operation to understand the common pollutants you face and the performance requirements your system must meet. Various factors can impact your scrubber design, including:

Materials: Our engineers will consider how compatible different materials are with your main pollutants to construct a functional system. We use a range of durable materials to build our wet scrubbers, including steel, titanium, polypropylene, fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) and various other substances.
Packed bed height: The packed bed is a wetted surface made of various materials where the contaminated airflow comes in contact with the scrubbing liquid. Packed bed height will vary based on the type of pollutant to ensure maximum transfer.
Liquid flow rate: Flow rate coincides with your packed bed to create the most efficient system based on the pollutants you need to manage.
Scrubbing liquid: Different pollutants require different scrubbing liquids to maximize transfer. For example, adding a caustic solution to your liquid will aid in acid absorption, whereas an acid solution will aid in caustic absorption.
Target gas velocity: Scrubbers can handle a wide range of gas velocities, but the design can affect how well a unit will handle certain ranges. We will learn about your specific pollutants to design your ideal wet scrubber system.

When you need a short-term industrial solution, you can rely on our vapor scrubber system rentals for the quality you’re looking for. Rentals come in both small and large sizes so that you can choose the product that best fits your application. Our rental scrubbers are also portable, highly productive and easy to set up with your current processes.

We have multiple options available, allowing you to rent what you need for the exact amount of time that you need it. If your project requires the scrubber for a day, week or month-long project, we have terms designed to accommodate your needs.

Replacing specific components rather than investing in a new system can often save you time and money. At MACH Engineering, we provide a wide range of scrubber system components, including tower internals and tower packing products. With these components, you’ll receive the highest possible capacity and efficiency while maintaining overall cost-effectiveness.

We offer a wide selection of tower packing and internals including liquid distributors, grids, rings, Tri-Packs and more.

The Benefits of a Wet Scrubber System

Wet scrubber systems are an excellent pollution management system for numerous reasons.

Improve Cleaning Safety

Wet scrubber systems can capture combustible gases and particulate matter without the risk of explosion. Wet scrubbers use water or other liquids to clean exhaust streams as they pass through the system, so flammable materials remain wet inside the housing.

Wet scrubbers also capture gases, odors, vapors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are unsafe for humans. With these substances captured, an area’s occupants benefit from a safer environment.

Enhance Collection Efficiency

Wet scrubbers can remove almost all contaminants from an exhaust stream. When the exhaust stream passes through the wet scrubber, the contaminants bind with the water and remain in the chamber. The ability to choose the liquid inside the wet scrubber system also allows users to tailor the system to the gas stream and its specific contaminants.

Handle a Wide Range of Materials

One of the most notable benefits of wet scrubbers is their ability to scrub many materials from an exhaust stream. While these systems can remove particulate matter like dust, dirt and pollen, they also handle materials that are harder to capture. Acidic Gases, fumes and harmful pollutants can all be contained in a wet scrubber with the right scrubbing liquid.

In contrast, dry scrubbers have more limitations in terms of material-capturing capabilities. Dry scrubbers are often unable to capture acids in exhaust streams, while wet scrubbers can reliably contain these substances. When you work in a facility with strict pollutant control requirements, wet scrubbers are the ideal solution.

Save Space

Wet scrubbers have a relatively small footprint and can easily be retrofitted into spaces. Even with their smaller sizes, wet scrubbers can capture an impressive amount of particulates. When you have limited facility space or need open access to your pollution management system, wet scrubbers are an excellent option.
