Manufactured by Plastic Fabricators
Industrial activities often produce gases and fumes which could cause corrosion and cannot be simply discharged to the atmosphere without being processed in any way. Regardless of whether such gases and fumes are generated in the course of some chemical reaction, electroplating, acid pickling, laboratories' work or pharmaceutical manufacturing, they need to undergo some treatment prior to being discharged in order to reduce negative impacts on people, equipment and environment.
Plastic Fabricators designs and manufactures PP FRP Scrubbers intended for the effective extraction of acidic fumes, toxic gases and corrosive vapours out of industrial exhaust flows. Our scrubbers are made of corrosion-resistant Polypropylene (PP) inner liner and Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) shell, thus combining outstanding chemical resistance and high strength for industrial purposes. Every scrubber is individually designed considering airflow, process chemistry and installation specifics. Being packed with top quality virgin plastic tower packing, our scrubbers ensure efficient gas-liquid interaction thus allowing to absorb and neutralize harmful substances. They can be of different diameter and height and can be installed and commissioned completely.
PP FRP Scrubber is an air scrubbing system that can be used for capturing toxic gases, fumes, acids mists, and foul smells from the exhausts in industries.
The polluted air enters the scrubber and comes into contact with the carefully chosen scrubbing liquid. The pollutant is either absorbed or neutralized by the scrubber before clean air is discharged through the stack.
Plastic Fabricators produces scrubbers utilizing PP FRP material in two layers. The inner layer consists of polypropylene material that offers superb resistance to chemical corrosion, while the outer layer made of FRP materials gives the mechanical strength to the scrubbers to be used in industries.
Depending on the use, the scrubbing agent can be water, an alkali, or other appropriate chemicals that neutralize the process gases. The tower packing inside the scrubbers offers increased contact area to improve scrubbing efficiency.
PP FRP Scrubbers are commonly used for removing or neutralising a wide range of industrial emissions, including:
The scrubbing liquid is selected according to the chemical composition of the exhaust. Choice of scrubber fluid depends on the chemistry of gas stream.
The process of modern manufacturing involves the use of chemicals that give off dangerous fumes in their course of action.
An effectively designed PP FRP Scrubber helps trap and neutralize these contaminants before they get out of the exhaust unit. Using a combination of corrosion-proof design and efficient gas-liquid contact, it offers an excellent choice for industries interested in maintaining consistent operations along with controlling air emissions.
Designed for Efficient Industrial Air Pollution Control
The exhaust from no two processes will ever be alike. The nature of the chemical vapor, air flow rate, temperatures, and concentrations are all key factors in the design of the scrubbing process system.
Plastic Fabricators is highly specialized in producing customized PP FRP Scrubbers that have been tailored to meet the demands of the specific application. The scrubbers have been designed in such a way as to guarantee efficient gas absorption and also high resistance to corrosive chemicals.
The scrubbers consist of a dual laminate of either PP FRP or PVC FRP materials in order to provide both chemically resistant layers internally and FRP layers externally. The packed towers use virgin plastic packing media.
Packed bed scrubbers are one of the most popular air pollution control devices used for soluble gas and chemical vapor removal.
Large surface area provided by the packed bed ensures high efficiency of this system in the continuous operation mode.
A wet scrubber uses a recirculating liquid to clean industrial exhaust gas of pollutant.
Wet scrubbers are often chosen when gases are easily soluble or can be chemically neutralized by using proper scrubbing fluid.
A chemical scrubber is a device which uses scrubbing liquid that chemically reacts with the contaminants in order to neutralize them before emission into the environment.
It is designed specifically for laboratory exhaust systems that are used to clean corrosive vapors generated during the testing process in laboratories.
The scrubbers are used in various industries where the presence of toxic gases is removed before being discharged into the atmosphere.
Typical applications include:
Efficient Removal of Harmful Chemical Fumes
In a PP FRP Scrubber, the process involves treating air by allowing the contaminated air to come into contact with the scrubbing liquid in the packed tower.
The process generally follows these steps:
Step 1 – Contaminated Air Collection
The chemical fumes are collected from equipment, tanks, lab fume hood and processing areas using a ducting system.
Step 2 – Air Enters the Scrubber
Using a corrosion-proof blower, the contaminated air is drawn into the scrubber tower.
Step 3 – Gas-Liquid Contact
In the packed section, there is a downward flow of the scrubbing liquid while the contaminated air flows upward in between the packing media.
Redistribution of the liquid by the packing ensures that there is maximum surface area for the pollutants to interact with the liquid.
Step 4 – Chemical Absorption
Based on the nature of the pollutants to be treated, water or other appropriate chemicals react with the gases to remove them from the airstream.
Typical pollutants include:
Step 5 – Clean Air Discharge
The cleaned air is then released through the exhaust stack after passing through the packed section and mist eliminator.
The design of an air pollution control system is based on the features of the process served. The flow rate of air, concentration of pollutants, temperature of the gas, pressure losses, and chemical resistance affect the design of the scrubber.
Plastic Fabricators has a great assortment of PP FRP Scrubbers, which are produced for the purpose of serving in various applications such as lab ventilation systems, chemical plant processes, pharmaceutical industries, electroplating plants, etc. The design of each scrubber is custom made to attain maximum scrubbing efficiency.

Industrial scrubbers function in a setting where there are corrosive gases, moisture, and chemicals solutions present at all times. The material from which the scrubber is made determines equipment life and maintenance needs.
Plastic Fabricators makes use of dual laminate material construction made up of polypropylene and FRP.
Polypropylene Inner Liner
The internal liner is always in contact with corrosive gases and chemicals used in the scrubbing process.
Benefits include:
FRP Structural Shell
The outer FRP shell acts as a mechanical support needed to enable the functioning of the equipment in an industrial setting.
Benefits include:
Better Than Conventional Metal Scrubbers
Unlike traditional steel equipment that needs constant protective coating, this material is specifically meant to handle corrosive settings, thus reducing maintenance costs and increasing equipment life.
It makes PP FRP scrubbers ideal for processing of corrosive gases.
Selection of the scrubber goes beyond merely selection of tower.
Some operating parameters impact the design of the scrubber.
