THERMAL Scrubbers
IO THERMAL WET ABATEMENT SYSTEMS – DESIGNED FOR CONTINUOUS FLOW OF FLAMMABLE & WATER-SOLUBLE GASES
A thermal-wet scrubber is what is typically used for abatement when applications call for a continuous flow of both flammable and water-soluble gases, or when the abatement challenge will change on a regular basis with new gases being introduced. The issue with traditional Thermal-Wet abatement systems is the high use of methane and water to effectively abate the exhaust. Coupled with this is that many scrubbers of this design are not designed to be turned off, nor are there interlocks to account for idle process tools. This results in scrubbers continually running at this rate even though hazardous exhaust isn’t running. In fact, a 2021 study at Georgia Tech concluded that operating their existing thermal-wet CDO cost the university $8,168.08 a month, which amounted to over $98,017 in consumable costs per year. This was calculated in part from a water flow rate of 4 GPM.
THE IO IS DIFFERENT.
The Ganymede uses a dual-packed column abatement methodology coupled with on-board chemical injections for ultra-high efficiencies to below PEL levels. As the removal of the hazardous gases from the exhaust and the neutralization of the wastewater are both performed in the Ganymede, we can both dump directly to drain and minimize water consumption through this process.
