Solutions Tailored to Your Process & Emissions

Schutte & Koerting manufactures a complete range of industrially proven scrubber technologies designed to contain and treat noxious gases, particulates, odors, fumes, and dusts from gas streams. Each system utilizes optimized scrubbing liquid contact methods to achieve superior removal efficiency with manageable pressure drops.

Wet Gas Scrubbers

Our wet gas scrubber systems provide comprehensive gas scrubbing for acidic and alkaline contaminants. These versatile units handle acid fume removal, vapor scrubber applications, and general air pollution control across multiple industries.

Venturi Scrubbers

Especially effective at handling high temperatures and heavy contaminant loads without requiring a fan. The venturi design creates intimate contact between particulates and scrubbing liquid, achieving excellent capture efficiency with self-contained operation.

Acid Fume Scrubbers

Specialized acid fume scrubber systems are engineered to neutralize and remove corrosive gases, including hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and other acidic fumes. Our caustic scrubbers utilize alkaline scrubbing liquid (typically sodium hydroxide or lime slurry) to neutralize acid gases.

Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems

Comprehensive exhaust scrubber system solutions for combustion sources, industrial ovens, dryers, and process heaters. Our systems integrate multiple pollution control technologies, including venturi scrubbers, packed beds, and mist eliminators.

Wet Dust Collectors

Wet collection technology eliminates explosion hazards associated with combustible dusts while providing superior fine particulate capture. Our wet dust collector designs use scrubbing liquid to capture and contain dust, eliminating re-entrainment and secondary dust hazards.

Custom Scrubber Systems

Every industrial process presents unique emission control challenges. Our engineering team designs custom gas scrubber solutions tailored to your specific contaminants, flow rates, temperature conditions, and regulatory requirements.

How Wet Scrubbers Work: Reliable Removal of Gases, Fumes & Particulates

Understanding the fundamental principles of gas scrubbing helps optimize system selection and performance for your air pollution control needs.

  • Contaminated Exhaust Gas Enters – Process emissions containing acid fume, toxic gases, particulates, or combinations enter the scrubber system.
  • Gas-Liquid Contact – The exhaust stream contacts scrubbing liquid through spray nozzles, packed bed media, or venturi action
  • Mass Transfer – Contaminants absorb into, react with, or are captured by the scrubbing liquid
  • Neutralization – Caustic scrubbers neutralize acids; acidic solutions absorb alkaline gases like ammonia
  • Particulate Capture – Liquid droplets entrain and remove particulates through impaction and interception
  • Separation – Mist eliminators separate treated gas from entrained liquid droplets
  • Clean Gas Discharge – Purified gas exits compliant with emission limits
  • Liquid Management – Scrubbing liquid is recirculated, treated, or disposed of per environmental standards

Experience The Advantages Of Our Scrubbers

Using Schutte & Koerting's reliable industrial scrubbers brings several key benefits. Trust us for efficient and dependable air pollution control solutions.

Reduces Solids Build-Up

Our ammonia scrubber, hydrogen sulfide scrubber, and other designs reduce solids build-up through optimized scrubbing liquid flow patterns and proper chemistry control. By preventing scale formation and particulate accumulation, systems maintain consistent performance with minimal maintenance requirements. When treating sulfur dioxide scrubber applications, proper design prevents ammonium sulfate or gypsum scaling that can plug conventional systems.

Highly Customizable

The chlorine scrubber, sulfur dioxide scrubber, and all S&K scrubber systems are highly customizable, allowing you to tailor them to your unique operational requirements. Whether you need specialized materials for corrosive acid fume service, specific pressure drops to match existing fans, or multi-stage designs for complex contaminant mixtures, our engineering team delivers optimized solutions. Each unit is designed for economical operation while meeting your exact performance specifications.

Cleaner Air & Regulatory Compliance

By effectively removing ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide co2, acid fume, and other pollutants, our caustic scrubbers, wet gas scrubber, vapor scrubber, and complete scrubber line promote cleaner air and regulatory compliance. Create a healthier, safer working environment while meeting EPA, OSHA, and local air-quality standards. Our systems provide documented, effective control of pollution, with performance guarantees and support for emissions testing.

Get a Scrubber System Engineered for Your Application

Every emission source requires specific engineering to achieve optimal removal efficiency, regulatory compliance, and economical operation. Our scrubber specialists will design the right solution—whether that's a standard vent gas scrubber, a specialized H2S scrubber, a comprehensive exhaust scrubber system, or a custom multi-stage design.
