• Potentially allows capital expansion avoidance via improved operating efficiency.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Application rates for 312 Wet Scrubber Formula are largely dictated by the intensity of malodor. The proper rate establishes an equilibrium between malodor and 312 Formula. This equilibrium is illustrated below.

In practice, a steady-state malodor loading is not always present. Therefore, many customers choose to operate with a faint odor of 312 Formula present to act as an olfactory guide in order to provide a buffer zone.

For recirculating packed bed scrubbers, 312 Wet Scrubber Formula can be fed directly into the reservoir or into the line feeding the spraying system above the packing. Most mist scrubbers do not recycle scrubbing liquids, consequently choice is limited to the line feeding the nozzle. On-hand dosing pumps will normally work well. 312 Formula can be fed in its concentrated form, but most users dilute with water to make up a 1-2% solution in a day tank or empty 55 gallon drum and feed the diluted solution.

This approach is preferred for several reasons. An improper pump setting or a malfunctioning pump could become very costly by delivering far too much concentrated 312. For mist scrubbers it is desirable to have a rapid pump stroke to avoid a gap effect (water, 312, water, 312) in the scrubbing liquid line.

The precise feed rate must be determined on site. In addition to malodor intensity, feed rate will be influenced by odor composition, bleed and make-up rates, recirculation rates, CFM and contact time provided and the general maintenance of the system.

Good starting guidelines can be provided. For packed bed scrubbers the Loading Standard is rendering cooking malodors (blood, offal, feathers, bone meal). For mist scrubbers the Loading Standard is malodorous domestic wastewater, headworks locations. Weigh the intensity of the malodors under consideration against these Standards, and increase or decrease the recommended starting application rate accordingly.

RECIRCULATING PACKED BED SCRUBBERS

The treatment solution is sprayed over the packed bed where it falls through the packing to a sump beneath. Malodors transfer from the gaseous phase to the liquid phase when collected air is forced through the moistened packing. Air residence time through the bed is often only a few seconds, so sufficient air pressure is critical to the transfer.

From the sump, the treatment solution is recirculated over the top of the packing. Fresh solution is added on the way to retain needed strength. This feed loop includes a chemical solution tank, metering pump and piping, a recirculation pump and associated piping and valves.

A portion of the spent solution in the reservoir is wasted (bled) in order to remove treated malodors and accumulated solids. To make up for bleed loss and evaporation loss, fresh water is added.

MIST SCRUBBERS
Mist systems operate on similar principles to the recirculating packed bed systems except there is no recirculation of the spent solution, and considerably less water is used. The treatment solution is atomized or sprayed through nozzles to achieve maximum solution break-up. The malodorous air is mixed with the mist particles in a reaction vessel, where the malodors are transferred into solution. Condensate from the reaction vessel is wasted.

The fine mist particles are primarily discharged with the treated airstream. The size of mist particles required for a specific degree of malodor control is not yet well defined. However, the smaller the particle size, the greater the total surface area produced, promoting maximum gas transfer. Typical residence time within the reaction vessel is 10 to 15 seconds.
