Purafil Performs Successful Retrofit For The City Of Richland's Water Treatment Plant

At first, the city considered switching the wet scrubber to a brand new Purafil dry 1-ton capacity scrubber. When the plant operators contacted Purafil’s local representative, Treatment Equipment Company, they learned about the capability to retrofit existing wet chlorine scrubbers to dry scrubbers using Chlorosorb® Ultra Media.

Purafil Water-Wastewater Market Manager, Colin Christie, provided a competitive quote to complete the retrofit. Due to the significant cost savings and the capabilities of Richland Water’s staff to perform the work in-house, the plant managers decided to turn their existing installation into an efficient, low maintenance dry scrubbing system. Purafil project engineers worked closely with the WTP staff to make the retrofit a success.
