About Wet Scrubber
Wet Scrubber System Industrial Air Pollution Control
Overview:
A Wet Scrubber is an advanced air pollution control device designed to remove particulate matter, acidic gases, and chemical vapors from industrial exhaust streams. It operates by bringing polluted gas into contact with a scrubbing liquidtypically water or a chemical solutionneutralizing contaminants through absorption and impaction.
Key Features:
- Scrubbing Mechanism: Utilizes liquid media to capture and neutralize harmful pollutants
- Construction Material: Available in SS304, SS316, FRP, PP, or MSRL depending on chemical compatibility
