The process
Galvanising lines have acid pickling tanks that fume, a flux dryer, and a zinc kettle that emits fume at dipping. The pickling fume goes through a scrubber in PP-FRP, the kettle fume to a bag filter, and the dryer needs a hot air fan.
The gas
Fume from pickling, acid handling or reactor vents, corrosive and often wet. PP-FRP, FRP or rubber lined construction, with the motor outside the gas path.
Selection for this process
| Type | Packed bed for gas absorption |
| Material | PP-FRP or rubber lined |
| Outlet | Mist eliminator ahead of the fan; fan in the same material as the scrubber |
