Focus Keyword: Acid Mist Hood
Meta Description (136 characters):
PRS Acid Mist Hood captures acid vapors directly from copper EW cells, protecting workers and equipment while improving air quality and safety.
1. Introduction
During copper electrowinning, acid mist rises from the electrolyte surface as current passes through the cells. If left uncontrolled, it corrodes nearby equipment and threatens operator health.
The Acid Mist Hood, designed by PRS, provides the first line of defense - capturing harmful vapors directly above the cells before they escape into the tankhouse air.
2. Design and Function
The PRS Acid Mist Hood is installed above each electrolytic cell and connected to the scrubber tower through air ducts.
It operates by maintaining negative pressure, which pulls acid mist away from the electrolyte surface.
Key design features include:
• Corrosion-Resistant Material: PP or FRP for long-term stability.
• Transparent Windows: Allow easy visual inspection during operation.
• Drainage Channel: Prevents acid condensation buildup.
• Quick Access Panels: Simplify cleaning and maintenance.
3. Why Choose PRS Acid Mist Hoods
• Efficient Mist Capture: 95–99% acid vapor removal at the source.
• Lightweight and Modular: Easy to install and replace.
• Protects Equipment: Reduces corrosion on busbars, frames, and electrical parts.
• Improves Workplace Safety: Keeps air quality within environmental limits.
• Custom Engineering: Each hood fits your exact cell size and configuration.
4. How It Works with the Scrubber Tower
The Acid Mist Hood and Scrubber Tower form a closed-loop ventilation system:
⑴ The hood captures vapors directly above the EW cells.
⑵ The duct system delivers them to the Scrubber Tower.
⑶ The tower neutralizes the mist before releasing clean air.
This integration ensures full acid mist control and compliance with air-quality standards.
5. Conclusion
The Acid Mist Hood plays an essential role in every copper EW tankhouse.
When paired with PRS's Scrubber Tower, it provides a reliable, efficient, and sustainable solution for acid mist management-protecting people, equipment, and the environment.
