INDUSTRIAL CORROSION PROTECTION

PP FRP SCRUBBER

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.

TECHNICAL DATA

WHAT IS A PP FRP SCRUBBER?

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.

Why Industries Choose PP FRP Scrubbers

🛡️
Excellent Corrosion Resistance Polypropylene inner layer provides protection from numerous acids, alkalis, and corrosive vapours, whereas FRP external casing serves as structural reinforcement for extended period of operation. This double-layered design proves to be very effective for industrial conditions.
🌪️
High Scrubbing Efficiency Virgin plastic tower packing allows to create a large number of surface points for interaction between contaminated air flows and scrubbing liquids, which promotes better pollutant absorption and neutralization and ensures smooth operation.
⚙️
Custom-Engineered Design Each industrial process produces different amounts of contaminants and requires specific air flow volumes; therefore, PP FRP Scrubbers can be manufactured in different diameters, heights and capacities depending on the specific requirements.
Long Service Life Contrary to the standard metallic design, PP FRP materials provide corrosion resistance without protective coating, which reduces maintenance costs and prolongs equipment life.
🔗
Compatible with Existing Exhaust Systems PP FRP scrubbers are compatible with laboratory fume hoods, ducting systems, industrial blowers and other ventilation systems, and can be used in new and old constructions.
🏭
Reliable Industrial Performance Design of PP FRP Scrubbers is created for continuous operation and used wherever chemical fumes need to be filtered out before being released into the atmosphere.

TYPES OF CONTAMINANTS REMOVED

PP FRP Scrubbers are commonly used for removing or neutralising a wide range of industrial emissions, including:

  • Fumes of Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
  • Sulphur dioxide (SO₂)
  • Sulphur trioxide (SO₃)
  • Vapors of nitric acid (HNO₃)
  • Ammonia (NH₃)
  • Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
  • Acid Mist
  • Alkaline vapor
  • Chemical odors
  • Water-soluble process gases

The scrubbing liquid is selected according to the chemical composition of the exhaust. Choice of scrubber fluid depends on the chemistry of gas stream.

WHY AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MATTERS

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.

OUR PP FRP SCRUBBERS

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.

HOW A PP FRP SCRUBBER WORKS

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:

  • Hydrochloric Acid (HCl)
  • Sulphur Dioxide (SO₂)
  • Sulphur Trioxide (SO₃)
  • Nitric Acid Vapours
  • Ammonia
  • Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)

Step 5 – Clean Air Discharge

The cleaned air is then released through the exhaust stack after passing through the packed section and mist eliminator.
