Packed Bed Fume ScrubbersIn a Packed Bed Scrubber, solublechemi-
cals, fumes, and odors ow through a speciallydesigned packing media that is irrigated with
recirculating scrubbing solution. The liquidsolvent absorbs the gas-phase pollutant byphysical and chemical means. A blowdown fromthe tank with makeup water addition removescontaminant pollutants before they precipitatein the reservoir. Packed Bed Scrubbers havea wide range of industrial and municipalapplications. Capacities: 10 to 75,000 CFM with a

Vertical Packed BedFume Scrubber
This is a counter-ow design that has contami-nated gas owing upwards and recirculated liquidspraying downwards through the packing media.Vertical scrubbers typically have a smaller footprint
and can have greater removal efficiency thanHorizontal Packed Bed Scrubbers. Multiple scrub-bing stages with different scrubbing solutions canbe achieved by having more than one scrubbingtower in series (see page 12). Multiple towers providethe highest removal efficiency, as well as multiplegas constituent removal.
Horizontal Packed BedFume Scrubber
This is a cross-ow design that has recirculatedscrubbing liquid owing vertically downwardswhile the gas passes horizontally through thepacking section. This design is more tolerant of solid
particulate that may be contained in the air stream.A Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber is appropriatewhen limited headroom is an issue, and it alsoallows for multiple stages in one housing withseparate sumps and scrubbing solution pumps ifrequired.

Dual Throat VenturiWet Air Scrubber
The Monroe Dual Throat Venturi Air Scrubber isa completely self contained unit that needs only tobe connected to normal plant electrical, water, andair systems. It is one of the most versatile venturiscrubber designs available because of its ability tohandle a wide range of dry, wet, sticky, tacky, andoily particulate loads.
Recirculate Clean AirIn many installations, such as buffing and
polishing, metal nishing and grinding, foundryoperations, etc., it is possible to recirculate clean,contaminant-free air back to the work area. Thisreduces the cost of plant ventilation systems andclimate control needs.
Adjustable Scrubbing ThroatsHigh velocity atomization takes place as the
inlet air is directed through the xed and dualadjustable scrubbing throats. The easily adjustabledual throats balance the pressure drop through theairow system at start-up or after system changesare made. This design feature eliminates the needfor ductwork dampers and blast gates that areprone to particulate build-up and require periodicmaintenance. In addition, the increase in pressuredrop in the scrubbing venturi improves the overallefficiency of the system.

Monroe Environmental manufactures DryAdsorbers for both physical and chemicaladsorption of gas-phase pollutants. Adsorption
involves the adhesion of pollutant gas moleculesto porous solid surfaces that the contaminated airstream passes through. Physical adsorption relieson intermolecular forces while chemical adsorptioninvolves the formation of chemical bonds.
Ideally Suited For Removal of H2S and other odors from municipal waste-
water treatment plant sources includingheadworks, digesters, and sludge dewateringoperations
Removal of VOCs, oil vapors, and gas phasehydrocarbons
Recovery of solvents including alcohols,esters, ketones, aromatic compounds, andhalogenated solvents
Industrial emissions from: degreasing, paintspraying, paper coating, plastic lm coating,metal foil coating, rubber-coating, semiconduc-tor manufacture, and printing
Overview of Adsorber TypesDeep Bed Adsorber: In horizontal or verticalconguration with a single deep bed or multiplebeds in series within the adsorber vessel.
Carbon Tray Adsorber: Flow passes throughseveral removable carbon trays in parallel. Each traycontains activated carbon pellets and can be easilyremoved and relled when pellets are saturated.
Parallel Bed Adsorber: Airow passesbetween two parallel beds in horizontal or verticalconguration, allowing higher airow because
there is a large passageway for initial contact of gaswith both of the adsorbent beds.

Multi-Stage System ScrubbersMonroe Environmental can provide complete
multi-stage air scrubbing systems for a wide varietyof applications. High temperature and volatile
chemical processes often require a more complex,customized air scrubbing solution than what asimple packed tower scrubber or venturi particulatescrubber can provide.
In many cases, several technologies must beintegrated together to provide adequate removaland treatment efficiencies. Monroes experienceincludes the engineering and fabrication of custom-ized multi-stage scrubbers utilizing the followingequipment:
Packed Bed Scrubbers Venturi Particulate Scrubbers Carbon Adsorbers Quench Towers Cyclonic Separators Heat Exchangers Fiberglass Filters Specialty Ducting Systems Clariers and Oil Recovery Units
Monroe has the experience and knowledge toevaluate your process and recommend a custom-ized scrubbing system for your specic application
Monroe has successfully treated contaminated airstreams resulting from: Solid waste and/or chemical gas incineration Kiln & RTO exhaust scrubbing Flame laminating and glass coating Grease & chemical production Textile manufacturing Chemical and compound reclamation High temperature scrubbing processes
And many others
Multiple Packed BedScrubbing Stages
Multiple scrubbing stages withdifferent scrubbing solutions canbe achieved by providing multiplescrubbing towers in series.
This type of system is commonwhen there is a high pollutant loading,multiple pollutants, or when removalefficiencies greater than 99.9% arerequired.
The diagram to the right includesthree towers in series that could beused for H2S and NH3 removal, HCland SO2 removal, or a variety of otherharmful gas combinations.

Dry Dust CollectorsCartridge Dust Collectors
Monroe Dry Dust Collectors, with reverse pulse
cleaning of cartridges during operation, providecontinuous collection and removal of airborneparticulate without shutdown. Long life pleated cartridge lters Applications up to 450F Easy to install and remove cartridges via pull-out
racks when replacement is necessary Efficiencies to 99.9+% Capacities from 500 to 50,000 CFM AMCA rated fans on the outlet side of the

performance Variety of removal congurations available
Monroe also has the capability to design andbuild custom baghouse dust collection units whenapplicable.
Top Performance with OptimumFilter Cleaning
The Monroe Cartridge Dust Collectors moduladesign incorporates high efficiency, pleated fabriccartridge lters to achieve maximum lter surfacearea in a relatively small housing. The cartridgesin the Monroe collector are mounted in a verticalposition to provide continuous high volume collec-tion and removal of airborne dust and fumes. This
assures that when the collected dust is pulsed fromthe cartridges, it falls to the bottom of the collector
In competitor units with horizontal cartridges,dust pulsed from the above cartridges falls onto thecartridges below. This reduces ltration capabilityand requires additional maintenance for rotatingcartridges problems avoided with a Monroe unit.
Custom congurations, including ceiling or roof designs,are available where a standard collector cannot be used.30,000 CFM Dust Collector with multiple pyramid hoppersand screw conveyor options shown.

Multi-Stage Multiple stage collector that has proven capabilities exceeding99% efficiency on many installations. Includes drop-outchamber, separator mesh elements, and berglass lters.
Design LeadershipMonroe Environmental Oil Mist Collectors, with
longer operating cycles and higher efficiencies,outperform all other collectors. Because of slowerinternal velocities through the collector, mediareplacement and maintenance labor costs arereduced. Collected oil mist and solids are continu-ously drained from the media without shut-down,signicantly prolonging lter life and loweringoverall operating costs. Monroe can integrate newunits into existing ductwork and ventilation systemsor design and furnish new ductwork depending oncustomer requirements.
HEPA Type FiltersMonroe Oil Mist Collectors are available with
specially constructed HEPA type berglass ltercartridges as the optional nal lter system. Theselters are normally supplied with a 95% efficiencyrating at 0.3 micron. These lters have a long servicelife, normally 4,500 hours or more, because themajority of contaminants are removed during thepreceding stages and are continuously drained fromthe unit.
Air processed by a Monroe Oil Mist Collectormeets air quality standards for in-plant discharge aswell as outside exhaust. Discharging clean, lteredair back into the work area can signicantly reduceclimate control costs.
