In the metallurgical sector, industrial gas scrubbing is a key technology to ensure operational sustainability and compliance with increasingly stringent environmental regulations. Smelting, refining, coating, and metal surface treatment processes generate emissions with high concentrations of pollutants that must be treated before being released into the atmosphere.
Drawing on its expertise in the design and manufacturing of gas treatment systems, Tecnium offers comprehensive solutions tailored to the most demanding industrial environments. In this article, we explain what this technology involves, how it is applied in metallurgical processes, and why it is essential to partner with an expert like Tecnium.
What is industrial gas scrubbing?
Industrial gas scrubbing (also known as gas scrubbing) is an air decontamination process that neutralizes, dissolves, or captures pollutant gases before they are emitted. It is carried out by passing a gas stream through a liquid solution that absorbs or chemically reacts with the compounds present in the gas.
In the metallurgical industry, the generated gases often contain sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), acids, metal vapors, and solid particles, all of which are highly harmful to human health and the environment.
Application of industrial gas scrubbing in metallurgical processes
Metallurgical plants operate with high temperatures, aggressive chemical agents, and processes that release large volumes of pollutant gases. Therefore, implementing an industrial gas scrubbing system is not an option, but a critical necessity to ensure responsible, efficient, and standards-compliant operations.
