Fume Hood Wet Scrubber Design?

NobleMetalWorks - 11-6-2012 at 17:42

I am looking for a wet scrubber design for a fume hood.

I have made an eductor wet scrubber for a totally enclosed reaction vessel system that has nothing to do with the fume hood, and now need a wet scrubber design for the fume hood itself.

I am recovering and refining precious metals and want to scrub any gas produced, such as NOx, before venting above roof level.

If anyone has plans for a decent design, or has a unit for sale at a reasonable price, I would be very interested.

Thank you

IIRC, fume hoods are exempt under EPA regs since the quantity worked up in them is so trivially small.

We scrub the output gases into a main scrubber and then dump that gas back into the hoods.

I have a wet scrubber for sale. PM me.
