What Is a Scrubber Tower and Why It Matters in Copper Electrowinning Plants

Scrubber

 

Focus Keyword: Scrubber Tower
Meta Description:
PRS Scrubber Tower removes acid mist and harmful gases from copper EW tankhouses, ensuring clean air and safer, corrosion-free operation.

 

1. Introduction

In every copper electrowinning plant, large volumes of acid mist and gas are produced during electrolysis. To keep the environment safe and compliant, these emissions must be efficiently captured and neutralized.
That's where the Scrubber Tower - also known as the acid mist scrubber - comes in.
PRS designs and supplies high-performance scrubber towers that effectively remove acid mist and fumes, protecting both equipment and operators.

2. Working Principle

The PRS Scrubber Tower operates on a wet scrubbing principle. Exhaust gas from the Acid Mist Hood enters the tower and passes through multiple filtration layers:

• Spray Zone: Neutralizing liquid (usually alkaline) reacts with acidic mist.

• Packing Layer: Increases contact area for efficient absorption.

• Mist Eliminator: Captures fine droplets before clean air exits.

This process removes more than 95% of sulfuric acid mist and other corrosive vapors.
