Wet Scrubbers / Chrome Scrubbers

The Chrome Scrubber system is all–mechanical and does not consume chemicals or generate waste.  It can be scaled to facilities of all sizes.Our chrome scrubber features a multi-layer polypropylene pad system which operates under negative pressure. The filter apparatus is washed continuously in a nearly closed loop configuration. When chrome levels approach set point (generally 3000 ppm) water is forwarded to chrome recovery, or returned to the plating bath.

SYSTEM DESIGN
This chrome scrubber is a low energy system generating less than 6" of internal static pressure, therefore energy consumption is extraordinarily low. Total water use is also low: average consumption is 15 gallons per hour for a 20,000 cfm unit.  C/E-1 has no internal moving parts to wear or replace. Chrome can be recovered from both the gas stream and the filter

INSTALLATION
Our chrome scrubber is simple to install and operate and is available in single units to capacities to 41,500 cfm.  Ecologix provides a standard skid-mounted package which includes duct connections, controls interfacing, fan, recirculation tank, pump and piping.

LONG SERVICE LIFE
The standard C/E-1 is constructed of Type 1 PVC, the material recommended for high chrome concentrations.  The estimated minimum service life of the filter is five years under continuous use.  The system is projected to provide ten years of continuous service before primary maintenance is required.
