When you use any number of chemicals in an industrial or municipal setting, these chemicals can pose a health hazard to everyone in the facility if not handled with care. Many chemical applications generate vapor fumes that are harmful to human health and the environment. If these fumes are not treated accordingly, they can also compromise the integrity and efficiency of the fuel tank. To get rid of these fumes, you should look into chemical scrubbers.

A chemical scrubber is a piece of equipment designed to aid in chemical and pollution control. When installed correctly,  chemical scrubbers can mitigate toxic vapors, chemical gases, odors, acid mist and particulates. These fumes are delivered through a medium within the device that absorbs and dissolves any harmful and unwanted fumes. Packed bed chemical scrubbers are especially important for industrial facilities responsible for compliance with federal regulations related to air pollutants.

While a packed-bed chemical scrubber is similar to an odor scrubber, it has additional features and features that allow you to get rid of many different types of air pollutants that an odor scrubber may not be able to eliminate effectively. The most common chemical that requires a chemical exhaust scrubber is hydrochloric acid. National emission standards for hydrochloric acid and similar chemicals are in place.

If your industrial facility uses a lot of chemicals, you should understand how acid fume scrubbers work and whether they are suitable for your situation. This article details  chemical scrubbers and the types of scrubbers you can choose from.
