Emergency Scrubber Systems

Emergency scrubber systems are critical for ensuring workplace and environmental safety in the event of accidental releases of hazardous gases. These systems rapidly neutralize and remove toxic gases such as chlorine, sulfur dioxide and ammonia.

Factors Affecting the Sizing of an Emergency Gas Scrubber

Several factors are crucial in determining an emergency wet scrubber’s appropriate size and capacity. These include:

  • Rate of contaminant leakage
  • Rate of evaporation
  • Spill duration
  • Rate of ventilation
  • The amount of heat generated during the reaction
  • Required outlet concentration (commonly set to ¼ or ½ of the IDLH limit)
  • Resistance of materials to corrosion and resistance
  • Cylinder size

What Types of Contaminants Can an Emergency Wet Scrubber Handle?

Emergency wet scrubbers can address a range of gases and particulate contaminants, including but not limited to:

FAQs

Review these frequently asked questions to learn more about purchasing a toxic gas scrubber system.

How Quickly Can Your Business Get an Emergency Wet Scrubber System?

MACH Engineering offers fast turnaround times for emergency wet scrubbers. Depending on your facility’s requirements, a custom wet scrubber may take two to three months to a year to design, fabricate and install. Call us about turnaround times for your specific needs.

How Is the Size of an Emergency Wet Scrubber Determined?

The size is determined by factors such as leak rate, spill duration, rate of ventilation and the required outlet concentration.

Can the System Be Customized for Specific Applications?

Yes, our emergency scrubber systems can be tailored to handle specific contaminants and operational conditions.

How Do You Know If Your Facility Needs an Emergency Gas Scrubber?
If your facility stores or processes hazardous gases such as chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide or fluorine, an emergency scrubber system is necessary for handling accidental releases.
How Does the Scrubbing Process Work?
Emergency scrubbing begins when sensors detect hazardous gas levels and activate the scrubber. The contaminated gas is drawn into the scrubber system, where it passes through a liquid solution that captures and neutralizes the harmful particles. A mist eliminator removes any remaining droplets, and the cleaned gas is safely released. We have further resources on how wet scrubbers work.
