Hexmaster® high efficiency dry scrubbers
Principles of Operation — Previous Page

Duall dry scrubbers are recommended for applications involving removal of aerosol mists
in situations where minimum water usage is paramount.

Unlike our other packed bed scrubbers, our dry scrubbers do not rely on water wash of the media during normal operation. Entrained droplets are extracted from the air stream and the collected liquid may be returned to the process tanks.

Periodic washdown of the media is required to maintain removal efficiency and prevent fouling. It may be possible to return this liquid to the process tanks, thus making zero discharge a reality.
