  1. Scrubbing Process:

    • The polluted air enters the scrubber chamber, where it is sprayed with a liquid scrubbing solution (water, alkali, or chemical neutralizers).
    • This process absorbs, dissolves, or chemically neutralizes pollutants.
  2. Gas-Liquid Interaction:

    • The scrubber may contain spray nozzles, packed bed media, or venturi sections to ensure maximum contact between air and liquid for effective pollutant removal.
  3. Mist Elimination & Clean Air Release:

    • The air passes through a demister or mist eliminator, removing excess moisture before releasing clean, treated air into the atmosphere.
  4. Waste Collection & Disposal:

    • The contaminated scrubbing liquid is collected in a sump and sent for proper wastewater treatment before disposal.

Advantages of Wet Scrubbers in the Pharma Industry

  • High Efficiency – Removes 99%+ of harmful gases, particulates, and VOCs.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Construction – Made from FRP, PVC, SS316, or other chemical-resistant materials.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Meets EPA, OSHA, and local environmental standards.
  • Customizable for Specific Pollutants – Can be designed to handle acidic, alkaline, or organic emissions.
  • Worker & Environmental Safety – Ensures a clean, non-toxic working environment.

Wet scrubbers are essential for pharmaceutical plants, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and workplace safety by effectively controlling airborne pollutants.

Types of Wet Scrubbers Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry

  1. Packed Bed Scrubber:

    • Best for removing acidic gases, ammonia vapors, and solvent fumes.
    • Uses high-surface-area packing material for efficient gas-liquid interaction.
  2. Venturi Scrubber:

    • Effective in capturing fine pharmaceutical dust and chemical particulates.
    • Uses high-velocity airflow for increased efficiency.
  3. Spray Tower Scrubber:

    • Simple and cost-effective for moderate pollution control needs.
    • Uses multiple spray nozzles to disperse scrubbing liquid.
  4. Multi-Stage Wet Scrubber:

    • Combines chemical absorption and particulate scrubbing for high-efficiency removal of complex pollutants.
    • Ideal for multi-pollutant environments in pharmaceutical manufacturing.
