Purafil ESD Introduces Wet Scrubber Retrofits
Doraville, GA — Purafil Environmental Systems Division (ESD) recently announced its revolutionary Retrofit Plan for Liquid Caustic Scrubbers, which serves as a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new equipment to replace existing, problematic, caustic scrubbers. Purafil's Wet Scrubber Retrofit transforms a hazardous and problematic wet scrubber into a hazard-free and maintenance-free dry-chemical scrubber for a fraction of the cost.
Prior to devising the Wet Scrubber Retrofit, Purafil ESD analyzed Chlorosorb II and its capabilities, and fittingly increased the chlorine removal capacity, and created Chlorosorb® Ultra dry-scrubbing media. The newly, enhanced media removes 15 pounds of the gas for every 100 pounds of accidentally released chlorine. Because of this enhanced capacity, Purafil has been able to develop the Wet Scrubber Retrofit. Purafil's Wet Scrubber Retrofit provides the necessary, easy-to-follow steps to remove the caustic solution, convert the scrubber's key internal elements and add Purafil's improved, dry-scrubbing, Chlorosorb® Ultra media. As a result of the transformation, the retrofit dry-chemical scrubber is hassle-free, hazard-free and maintenance-free.
Wet scrubbers contain a caustic solution, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) that can deteriorate fiberglass and pumps. Wet scrubbers also require continual maintenance, such as replacing nozzles and valves. In addition, individuals performing maintenance require special training and equipment. Purafil's Wet Scrubber Retrofit allows facilities that store hazardous quantities of chlorine (Cl2) to prepare for an accidental chlorine leak without housing hazardous solution or managing the on-going hassles of maintaining the wet scrubber.
