Uses chemical reagents (NaOH, H2SO4, NaOCl, KOH, Na2CO3) to neutralize, oxidize, or absorb target pollutants through controlled chemical reactions — not just physical dissolution. Designed for chemical manufacturing, pharmaceutical synthesis, petrochemical processing, and industrial operations generating reactive or hard-to-treat exhaust streams. Application Chemical process exhaust: acid gases, alkaline fumes, reactive compounds, odorous sulfur/nitrogen species Material Virgin PP (standard); FRP (solvent-containing exhaust); SS316L (high-temp aggressive chemistry) Scrubbing reagents NaOH, H2SO4, NaOCl, KOH, Na2CO3, H2O2 — matched to target pollutant chemistry Efficiency over 95% for most reactive gases; reagent-specific performance guarantees Air volume 100 – 150,000 m3/h single tower Lead time 15-25 days Warranty 12 months structure; chemical compatibility warranted per spec Why Chemical Scrubbing vs Water-Only Water scrubbing works for highly soluble gases like HCl and NH3 because they dissolve readily. But many industrial process emissions contain gases with low water solubility (H2S, mercaptans, NOx) or compounds that need chemical transformation, not just absorption. A chemical scrubber adds a reagent that reacts with the pollutant — converting it into a harmless, non-volatile compound that stays in the liquid phase: Acid gases (HCl, HF, SO2, H2S) NaOH → NaCl, NaF, Na2SO3, Na2S (dissolved salts removed via blowdown) Alkaline gases (NH3, amines) H2SO4 → (NH4)2SO4 (ammonium sulfate, stays dissolved) Oxidizable pollutants (H2S, mercaptans, sulfides) NaOCl → sulfates, elemental sulfur (oxidized and rendered odorless) Formaldehyde, phenols NaHSO3 or H2O2 → oxidized to harmless organics Chemical scrubbing achieves removal efficiencies that physical absorption alone cannot — especially for gases with low Henry’s law constants. The reagent is consumed in proportion to the pollutant loading and must be replenished; our automated pH/ORP-controlled dosing systems maintain optimal reagent concentration without manual intervention. Why Xicheng 16 years, 2600 systems shipped worldwide. Chemical scrubber design requires understanding both mass transfer and reaction kinetics — get the chemistry wrong and you have a vessel full of expensive liquid that isn’t scrubbing anything. We’ve designed chemical scrubbers for over 40 different gas-reagent combinations: Chemistry-first design. Before sizing the tower, we confirm the reaction stoichiometry, kinetics, and byproduct management. NaOH HCl is fast and straightforward. NaOCl H2S requires residence time and careful ORP control to avoid chlorine breakthrough. We size the reaction zone — not just the mass transfer zone — for your specific chemistry. Automated dosing, not manual top-up. Chemical reagent consumption varies with pollutant load. Our standard control package includes pH and ORP probes with automated metering pumps that adjust reagent feed rate in real time. The system logs chemical consumption so you can track operating cost per ton of pollutant removed. Byproduct management planned up front. Chemical reactions produce salts. NaOH HCl → NaCl (common salt, easy). NaOCl H2S → Na2SO4 S (sulfate elemental sulfur, requires solids separation). We calculate blowdown rates and specify wastewater treatment requirements before you commit — no surprises after commissioning. Send your gas composition to [email protected].

A standard wet scrubber relies on water solubility — it works well for highly soluble gases like HCl and NH3. A chemical scrubber adds a reagent that chemically reacts with the pollutant, enabling removal of gases with low water solubility (H2S, mercaptans, NOx) and achieving higher efficiency through chemical conversion rather than physical dissolution alone. Read: Gas Scrubber Selection Guide. How do I know which reagent to use? The reagent is determined by the pollutant chemistry. Acid gases need alkaline reagents (NaOH, KOH, Na2CO3). Alkaline gases need acid reagents (H2SO4). Oxidizable pollutants (H2S, sulfides) need oxidizers (NaOCl, H2O2). Send us your gas composition and we’ll specify the right reagent and estimate consumption. What about the chemical waste produced? Chemical scrubbing produces dissolved salts in the blowdown stream. The volume and composition depend on your pollutant loading and reagent choice. We calculate blowdown rates and provide wastewater characterization data so you can plan treatment — whether on-site or off-site disposal.
