Caustic Wet Scrubber System
For industries that produce corrosive or hazardous acidic gases, a caustic scrubber system is essential for maintaining compliance and ensuring safe operations. MACH Engineering designs custom caustic scrubber systems tailored to your needs, providing reliable and efficient gas treatment and emission control solutions.
What Is a Caustic Scrubber?
A caustic scrubber system neutralizes and removes acidic gases from exhaust streams through chemical reactions. These systems use a caustic solution to absorb and react with harmful acidic gases such as hydrogen chloride (HCl) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂).
Caustic Solutions Used to Remove Unwanted Chemicals
Caustic scrubbers utilize various caustic solutions to remove unwanted chemicals from gas streams effectively. The most commonly used caustic solution is sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or caustic soda. This strong alkaline solution absorbs and neutralizes various contaminants, such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine (Cl₂).
Other caustic solutions that may be used in certain applications include:
- Potassium hydroxide (KOH)
- Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂)
- Sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃)
