FRP Absorption Towers (Scrubbers)

FRP absorption towers (acid/alkali towers or scrubbers) use liquid absorbents to remove pollutants (gases or fumes) from process streams. The FRP body and internals allow handling of harsh absorbents (like caustic soda or nitric acid).

Key Features

  • Packed/Tray Design: Filled with corrosion-resistant packing material (e.g., PP/FRP saddles, Raschig rings).
  • Corrosive Duty Construction: FRP with high-resin content laminates for 100% chemical inertness.
  • Gas-Liquid Distribution: Special nozzles and headers in FRP for even flow.

Benefits

  • High Removal Efficiency: Robust design enables deep scrubbing (even HCl, SO₂, NH₃, Cl₂) from waste gases.
  • Minimal Maintenance: FRP tanks and internals need no replacement in acidic service.

Applications

  • Industrial Air Pollution Control: Gas scrubbing in chlor-alkali, nitric acid plants, wastewater aeration.
  • Fume Collection: Lead-acid battery plants, steel pickling lines.

Technical Specifications

  • Height: Ranges from 3 to 30 meters (modular stacks).
  • Diameter: From 0.3 to 3 meters.
  • Pressure Drop: Low, designed according to gas flow (e.g., < 15 mbar).
  • Packing: Polypropylene/FRP ring or structured packings.

Unique Selling Points

  • Custom Scrubber Systems: Offer turnkey FRP scrubbers, from design to installation.
  • Heavy Duty Materials: Use high-grade vinyl ester or specialized liners for the most aggressive applications.
