Effective Emissions Control for Acids, Particulate Matter, Condensables, and Opacity
High-Efficiency Wet Scrubbers for Air Quality Compliance
At Monroe Environmental, we understand that managing air emissions is critical — both for regulatory compliance and for protecting your workforce and neighboring communities. Our Wet Scrubber Systems offer a reliable, efficient solution for removing particulate matter, acid gases, and industrial fumes from your exhaust streams.
When your process involves complex or corrosive air streams, you need more than just a piece of equipment; you need application expertise. We specialize in controlling a diverse range of air pollutants, with removal efficiencies > 99% in many installations.
Whether you need a Packed Tower Scrubber for gas absorption, or a Venturi Scrubber or Wet ESP for fine particulate removal, Monroe provides custom-engineered wet scrubber systems optimized for your process and compliance goals.
Why Work with Monroe Environmental?
What is a Wet Scrubber?
A wet scrubber uses a liquid—typically water or a water-based chemical solution—to capture pollutants in a gas stream. The pollutant-laden air passes through the system where it contacts the liquid droplets, allowing harmful substances to be absorbed, neutralized, or collected before the clean air is released.
Why Choose Monroe’s Wet Scrubbers?
We offer a full line of custom wet scrubbers, fabricated to handle the specific chemistry, physical characteristics, temperature, and volume of your air stream.

Operational and Maintenance Considerations for Wet Scrubber Systems
Proper operation and regular maintenance are critical to achieving optimum performance from wet scrubber systems. One key aspect is monitoring the liquid management system. This typically includes liquid level instruments, water make-up valves, blowdown valves, drains, and overflow ports attached to the scrubber. Some systems may also include pH or conductivity probes that assist with liquid management and control of scrubbing liquor chemical properties.
Additionally, mist eliminators, cyclones, and separators need to be maintained so they efficiently separate entrained droplets and particles from the cleaned gas stream—preventing carry over into downstream equipment. This typically involves monitoring differential pressure, as well as periodic inspections and/or cleaning to ensure that functionality is not hindered by scaling or solids accumulation.
For systems like Venturi Scrubbers and Packed Bed Scrubbers, overall collection efficiency often depends on maintaining adequate liquid flows and system pressures. Routine checks of pumps, nozzles, fans, instruments, and piping help to sustain desired performance levels.
By paying close attention to these factors—scrubbing liquid management, mist eliminator maintenance, and system flows and pressures—plants can help ensure reliable, long-term operation of their wet scrubbing systems.
