It’s easy see what is happening to our environment. Extended droughts and devastating fires, caused by a growing population’s demand for natural resources, have put us in a situation where we must look at how we are doing things to see if there’s a better way. Critical Systems is in the business of supplying and abating hazardous gases. Traditionally this called for lots of water and lots of methane, as wet and burn-wet abatement was standard. But these types of scrubbers are horribly burdensome on the environment. A typical wet scrubber uses around 4 GPM of water. Over a year’s period that will amount to over two (2) million gallons of water! A typical thermal-wet scrubber uses around 37 LPM of methane (CH4) over a year, which amounts to over 688,000 ft³ of CH4. This equates to almost 1.9 million ft³ per year of CO2. We can and must do better.

At CSI we believe that an abatement system should do three (3) things well:

1. Abate the target gases with ultra-high efficiencies

2. Not produce harmful byproducts through the operation of the scrubber

3. Minimize the use of natural resources to operate the system

From our flagship dry bed platform Callisto to our Ganymede Wet Scrubbers and IO Thermal-Wet Scrubbers, all of our technologies are designed with the above three beliefs in mind. Additionally, because each technology has its place in a facility’s abatement strategy, we do not subscribe to a “one-technology fits all” mentality when it comes to abatement. Rather, we let the “application drive the technology” that we use to remove the target gases.
