Fiber Optics Manufacturing
Fiber Optics Glass. Applications where conventional equipment is very inconsistent in meeting regulations provides an opportunity for the Cloud Chamber Scrubber (CCS) to showcase its unique capabilities. Fiber optics manufacturing is a typical example. After a pilot plant demonstration, the first CCS units in fiber optics manufacturing were installed in Europe in early 2000. The CCS was ...

Wet Scrubbers for Air Pollution Control
A wet scrubber, also known as a "wet scrubber system," is a device used to remove pollutants from industrial and commercial exhaust streams. It is an air pollution control technology that uses a liquid, usually water, to capture and remove pollutants from an airflow. Wet scrubbers are widely used in many industries including power plants, steel mills, chemical plants and refineries. The basic ...

Update and revision of Turkish air quality regulation
The Air Quality Assurance Regulation (AQAR) was issued on October 1986. This regulation was basically a direct translation of the German TA-Luft of 1984. The main purpose of AQAR was to control the effect of industry, domestic heating and Traffic on ambient air quality which previously had not adequately been represented. Two new regulations, "Industry Related Air Pollution Control Regulation" ...

Boeing Rotorcraft Systems, known today as the Mobility Division of Boeing Military Aircraft, purchased a Fan / Separator fume scrubber system, also a chrome scrubber and four Crossflow scrubbers from Tri-Mer.
The fume scrubber system is dedicated to handling acid fumes generated by a 5-stage alodize system. Tri-Mer’s fume scrubber is a highly efficient, double pack system. It is “all-mechanical,” and operates with 20% less brake horsepower than competitive systems. Fan / Separators scrub corrosive fumes at 1/10th the water required by traditional wet scrubbers. Operational ...
