Cleans up to 99.9% waste, dust, flue and exhaust gases, depending on the level of pollution
Tank Vent Scrubber Description
Tank vent scrubbers are systems designed to clean and treat the air that is vented from storage tanks. These tanks often contain chemicals or materials that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other hazardous substances. This includes hydrocarbons, ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, and other pollutants.

Contaminated gas from the tank is directed into the scrubber through the ventilation system. Inside, the air meets liquid, typically water or a chemical solution. In a packed bed scrubber, the liquid is distributed over the surface of the packing material, creating a thin film.
The packed bed consists of specially designed elements such as rings, saddles, or other geometrical shapes that provide a large surface area for contact. As the contaminated gas passes through the packed bed, pollutants are absorbed by the water on the surface of the packing material. Pollutants, such as VOCs, acidic gases, dust, and other particles, are captured by the liquid. This process may involve physical absorption (dissolution of gases in the water) and/or chemical reactions (neutralization of acids and bases).
The air-liquid mixture enters a separator where the cleaned air is separated from the fluid, achieved using a mist eliminator. The cleaned air exits the scrubber and is released into the atmosphere through a chimney or other ventilation system.
Polluted water is directed to a collection tank. A pump draws the liquid from the collection tank and returns it to the spray zone or the packed bed for reuse. This pump ensures constant movement of the water, which is necessary for effective pollutant capture.

Design and Structure
The construction of a wet scrubber for tank ventilation includes the following main elements:
Inlet: Contaminated gas enters the scrubber through the ventilation system.
Tank: Inside the scrubber, air meets water, capturing contaminants.
Packed Bed: Elements of the packed bed (such as rings, and saddles) provide a large surface area for contact between gas and liquid, enhancing cleaning efficiency.
Mist eliminator: The mixture of air and liquid passes through a separator where cleaned air and contaminated water are separated.
Outlet: Cleaned air exits the scrubber and is released into the atmosphere through an emission system.
Liquid Recirculation: Liquid saturated with contaminants is recirculated back into the process for reuse using a pump.
This process ensures effective gas purification from contaminants, meeting production requirements and environmental standards.

Control
Sensors and automatic control systems are used to ensure the scrubber operates efficiently, monitoring parameters such as pressure, liquid flow rate, pollutant concentration, and temperature.
