Air pollution control is a growing priority for businesses operating in sectors where harmful or odorous emissions are generated as part of their processes. Whether you work in chemical manufacturing, waste treatment, metal finishing, or food production, it’s vital to manage these emissions in a way that’s safe, compliant, and efficient.
One of the most effective solutions available for gas and odour treatment is the wet scrubber—a tried-and-tested technology that continues to play a crucial role in environmental compliance across a range of industries.
What Is a Wet Scrubber?
A wet scrubber is an air pollution control device that removes pollutants from exhaust gases using a liquid—usually water or a chemical solution. As contaminated air passes through the scrubber, it comes into contact with the liquid, which absorbs or reacts with the pollutants, effectively neutralising them before the cleaned air is released.
Wet scrubbers are particularly useful for removing soluble gases, such as ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen sulphide, and certain acidic or alkaline compounds. They can also trap dust particles, mists, and odorous vapours, making them a flexible option for multi-pollutant control.
The Benefits of Wet Scrubbing Systems
There are several key advantages to using a wet scrubber system:
