Model F102-135 Scrubber Provides Cost Effective Ventilation and Air Pollution Control for Battery Charging Room

From Met-Pro Corporation
 

 

Voltmaster Company, Inc. required a cost effective solution for treating sulfuric acid fumes generated in a battery charging operation at their Corydon, Iowa facility. It was determined that a scrubber and ventilation system were required to prevent exposure of workers and equipment to the corrosive mist formed during the charging process and to prevent damage to the facilities and the local environment.

Duall Division was selected to supply a Model F102-135 scrubber and ventilation system with capacity to treat 35,000 to 40,000 cfm. The scrubber, hoods and duct were fabricated from PVC, an ideal material of construction for equipment designed to handle corrosive fumes.

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.
