scrubbing tower

This liquor is produced by a caustic scrubbing tower.

The hot, dirty gas is then passed through a scrubbing tower which cleans and cools it using seawater.

Is your scrubbing tower working?

A wet scrubbing tower is used to clean odors, particles, mists and vapours from a gas stream.

Sodium hypochlorite, potassium permanganate, chlorine and chlorine dioxide are the most common oxidising agents added to water in scrubbing towers.

In classical physico-chemical processes, NH3 and amines are trapped in acid solution by washing air in a scrubbing tower, while sulphides are eliminated in basic oxidising solutions.
