Chemical pollutants abatement
Absorption of chemical pollutants, and separation processes for aerosols, dust and particles
High-efficiency scrubbers for chemical pollutants abatement
The Socrematic range of wet scrubbers encompasses high-efficiency and low maintenance solutions for absorbing and separating chemical pollutants such as alkaline or acidic compounds, sulfurous or nitrogenous compounds, toxic gases, solid particles as well as aerosols.
Chemical pollutants abatement processes
Absorption processes for chemical pollutants:
- Alkaline: NaOH, KOH, ...
- Acidic: HCl, HF, HCN, HBr, H3PO4, ...
- Sulfurous compounds: H2SO4, SO2, SO3, H2S, Mercaptans..
- Nitrogenous compounds: NH3, RNH2, ...
- Toxic gases: CL2, BF3, SO3, …
Separation processes for droplets and aerosols such as:
- H2CrO4, H2SO4, HNO3, (NH4)2SO4, HCl, ...
Separation processes for dust and solid particles such as:
- ZnO, NH4NO3, Cr2O5, TiO2, Zr2O5
Applications
- Production, storage and packaging of basic chemical compounds
- Fluidized bed, prill tower, granulator, dryer, atomizers and coolers used in the production of fertilizers, sugar, alfalfa, urea and ammonia nitrate
- Degassing of reactors in ne chemistry and pharmacy
- Liquid/waste incineration in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry
- Metallurgy: iron and steel industries
- Treatment of SO2/SO3/HF/HBr/HCl gaseous emissions
- Lime kilns, paper waste
- Degreasing and chroming baths, preparation and metalizing surfaces
Process design
For each application, the Socrematic process engineers will analyze the technical specifications and recommend the most suitable process to meet regulatory compliance. In most cases, the design of a performant and cost-effective solution is based on the following parameters:
- Nature of pollutant and concentration
- Temperature
- Flow rate
- Pressure drop
- Emission limits
- Space constraints
- Material specifications
- CAPEX and OPEX framework
Build to last
When designing air pollution equipment, we select the construction materials adapted to the flow, pressure drop, temperature, particulate and chemical compound characteristics.
- FRP
- RTP (Reinforced Thermoset Plastic) and dual laminate
- PVC and CPVC
- Polypropylene and polyethylene
- Stainless steel, mild steel, and FRP-lined mild steel
- Nickel alloys
- Titanium
