PT-510 Wet Scrubbers Installed for Semiconductor Plant House Ventilation

From Met-Pro Corporation
 

 

Project Managers at the Texas Instruments West Building in Sherman, Texas needed a new scrubber yard to replace some older existing systems and allow for added flow capacity. They required three (3) new 20,000 CFM scrubbers with internal recirculation and redundant pumps uniquely arranged with inlet and outlet plenums and dampering systems so that 2 or 3 systems could be operating simultaneously to accept the full flow from the house ventilation duct system.

Texas Instruments also required three (3) direct drive 125 HP fans with VFD's and unique inlet and outlet plenums, to continuously maintain pressure and flow from the house ventilation. Any 2 of the 3 fans were required to have the capacity to ventilate the plant.

Dust collectors are used in many processes to either recover valuable granular solid or powder from process streams or to remove granular solid pollutants from exhaust gases prior to venting to the atmosphere. Search by Specification | Learn more about Dust Collectors
Thermal oxidizers and catalytic oxidizers are used to destroy volatile organic compounds (VOC) in process gases. Search by Specification | Learn more about Thermal Oxidizers and Catalytic Oxidizers
Air scrubbers, wet scrubbers, and gas scrubbers are air pollution control devices that use a high-energy liquid spray to remove aerosol and gaseous pollutants from an air stream. The gases are removed either by absorption or chemical reaction. Search by Specification | Learn more about Air Scrubbers, Wet Scrubbers and Gas Scrubbers
Baghouses and Depth Filters utilize air flow throw filter media (often in the shape of a bag) to capture particulate matter.  Filter elements with pleated media and other porous materials (ceramics, glass fibers, etc.) are also used.
