Air Pollution Control System - Brief Article

Automotive Finishing, Winter, 2000

The CCS Delta-2 cloud chamber wet scrubber scrubs submicron particulate from all chemical and combustion sources. It is engineered for particulate as small as 0.1 micron. Cloud chamber scrubbing efficiencies are 99% and higher. The system cools incoming gases to approximately 180F, humidifies the airstream and charges particulate and water droplets with opposite polarity. Droplets and particles move continuously in relation to each other, and as they approach 10 microns of separation, electrical attraction causes particulate to enter the droplets. Charged droplets are used as collection media, an engineering feature that eliminates the need for filters and packing media, which are two of the most costly and maintenance-prone aspects of scrubber operation.

The system's chamber operating pressure is very low--below 2 inches of static pressure, which also contributes to low operation costs. It collects submicron particulate that is hydrophobic and water-resistant, and is highly compatible with high-temperature (up to 2,000F) processes of all kinds. It is applicable to all submicron particulate, and can remove common industrial fumes and gases simultaneously with particulate.
