Fume Scrubbers

The removal of contaminants is accomplished by first slowing the fumes to a velocity below 500 fpm and then passing the fumes through four stages of scrubbing. The fumes pass first through a water spray during which some of the larger contaminant particles drop out and the remaining fumes are saturated. The second stage consists of a 12" deep pack of polypropylene, nonclogging, spherical type mass packing which is kept constantly wet by a continuous spray. The saturated fumes are impinged upon the packing and the contaminants are absorbed and carried away in the wash water. After passing through the scrubbing stages, the air is mist laden and must then pass through the two stage gravity mist eliminator section. This consists of a drop out area that removes all but the finest mist, then, a series of vertically mounted PVC eliminator blades provide four 30 degree changes in direction and efficiently eliminates entrained water.

Single pack scrubbers have a static pressure drop of 2" w.g. and extended pack models have a static pressure drop of 3" w.g..

These scrubbers may be supplied with water either directly from your supply or from an integral or remote recirculation system supplied with the scrubber. It is generally recommended that a recirculation system be used to conserve water except on very low cfm units. The actual fresh water consumption varies from only 0.10 to 0.30 gpm/1000 cfm depending on the contaminant involved. This represents 5 % of the water being recirculated. If cold conditions exist a remote recirculation system should be specified for placement in a heated area. KCH Scrubbers come complete with fittings for the addition of chemical neutralizers if required. A complete metering and pumping system is also available upon request.

Every KCH Scrubber is shipped complete with an integral coated steel base. No special mounting is required. Simply connect the duct, the water and power supply, and the unit is ready for operation. Complete installation and operating instructions are supplied with all KCH Scrubbers.

As with all other KCH Products, low maintenance is a major factor in our scrubbers. Low maintenance components are use throughout and the unit is complete with quick opening access doors for easy inspection.
