Why do you need Gas Fume Scrubber?

Fume scrubbers are required in chemical application scenarios where the resulting vapor fumes are hazardous to human health, tank or system integrity, and/or the environment. They are used in volatile chemical storage applications where smog is a federally regulated air pollutant. A common example of this is hydrochloric acid, HCl.

Most chemical storage scenarios require some form of tank system ventilation due to fumes generated during:

• normal storage

• Heating of chemical solutions

• Product filling

• Dispensing

• Pipeline Fluid Flow

• Mixing, stirring or other general stirring

Basic ventilation for the Gas Fume Scrubber usually consists of a vent pipe of sufficient diameter to the general atmosphere. Basic exhaust may be suitable for inert, non-volatile chemicals, chemicals that produce non-toxic, non-corrosive or unregulated fumes, or for applications that do not produce fumes in excess of regulatory permit limits. For all other potential chemical situations, Gas Fume Scrubber may be suitable.
