Chlorine emergency units are gas scrubbing plants for the prevention of accidents arising from the escape of chlorine  from supply tanks and/or chlorine  dosing plants.

After an escape of  gas the contaminated atmosphere is drawn into the gas scrubbing plant. Chlorine is almost completely adsorbed in caustic  or other suitable alkaline scrubbing  liquors. Our chlorine emergency units consist of two jet scrubbing stages. They have the following characteristics:

  • immediately ready to adsorb
  • considerable adsorption capacity
  • automatic suction of the gas flow
  • no fittings in the gas flow
  • compact, space-effective construction
  • high operational safety

In contrast to packed columns, the jet scrubber conveys the discharged air which has to be cleaned without the use of any additional  fan. The jet scrubber operates as an ejector and as a parallel flow scrubber with a large material exchange surface.

Standard design: PE
Adsorption capacity: 50 to 1,000 kg chlorine
5 standard sizes from DN 150 to DN 350
