Fan/Separator Chemical Fume Scrubber Specifications

System design, supplied components, optional features

Industrial Fume Scrubber

Fan/Separator is a 2-stage fume scrubber that is highly efficient at removing H2SO4 and other contaminants from the air stream.

Systems are fabricated from PVC, polypropylene, fiberglass overlaid PVC, 316 and 304 stainless steel, and mild steel. Capacities are up to 100,000 cfm. Tri-Mer Corporation holds the U.S. Patent #3,616,604 for and has manufactured Fan/ Separator fume scrubbers since 1966.

Fan/Separator Design

  • Fan / Separator units are low energy type. Internals are designed to prevent the accumulation of solids.
  • Scrubber and Fan and Separator sections are designed and manufactured together.
  • Separator section is provided with clear view-ports for accessibility and inspection of equipment during operation.
  • Inspection ports are positioned to facilitate the ease of operation and inspection.
  • Flanged pipe connections are provided for the introduction of water as well as drainage.
  • Contaminants enter the eye of the fan where they are treated with a fog mist of scrubbing liquor.
  • Fan and motor are designed for a static pressure capability of the specified pressure drop through the Fan / Separator plus external pressures for the customer’s ductwork losses.
  • Sound levels generated by the equipment during normal operation will not exceed 85 dB-weighted, slow response, under free field condition, at a horizontal distance of 10 feet from the surface of sound generation.
  • Vendor provides electric motor and drives for each unit. Vendor is responsible for the selection of the motor characteristics and the motor mounting.
  • All electrical equipment provided by the vendor is supplied in NEMA rated enclosures.
  • All equipment manufactured by Tri-Mer Corporation is warranted under the standard Tri-Mer Corporation one-year warranty. All purchased components are warranted under the respective manufacturer warranty.
