Problem

Cooking oil vented off cookers and fryers exhausts to meat and poultry plants roofs where it collects creating enviromental waste and odor. Common complaints of oil soaked work areas created employee hazards and exhaust smell that consistently contaminated the surrounding air. Common Customer Concerns: Employee Hazards Environmental Waste Oil Soaked Roofs Void Roof Warranties Damage Neighbor Relationships Extended Downtime with Maintenance

Solution - HIT Wet Scrubber Application

Condit Company's HIT Wet Scrubber uses a patented Horizontal Impingement Tray design that effectively removes steam, vaporized oils and fat particulates by converting it to clean odor-free air. Most commonly used in food plants on oven and fryer exhaust systems, the HIT can be used in any food-processing environment that requires the removal of harmful contaminants from the air. This design allows for a low profile and compact arrangement and installation in restricted spaces. Typical sizes range from 2,000 - 25,000 cfm that allow for a custom fit into your system.
How it Works
1. A process air stream with pollutants enters the unit below the scrubbing trays where it passes through a prescrub water curtain. This initial action eliminates heavy particles and generates a dispersion of water droplets to wet the underside of the scrubbing tray and surrounding internal surfaces. This wetting action minimizes material buildups on these surfaces. 2. Circulated water from the scrubber sump is supplied to distribution gutters with leveling strips, which provides a uniform flow of water to the scrubbing trays. The process air stream is atomized as it passes through the holes in the scrubbing tray and interacts with the flowing water. Scrubbing trays are sized to maintain specific through velocities of the process air stream to keep the water suspended on the trays and ensure proper scrubbing action. The liquidto-air interaction is 99+% efficient. This results in very high condensing efficiencies of vaporized substances and corresponding particulate removal. The water circulated to the trays falls back into the sump. For most applications a chemical feed system provides a measured injection of surfactant into the sump to improve scrubbing efficiencies plus hold condensable in solution or suspension. 3. The scrubbing action generates a constant flow of water droplets, which must be eliminated from the cleaned air stream prior to being exhausted to atmosphere. Three rows of offset chevrons are very effective in the removal of these drops with minimal pressure drop. 4. After leaving the eliminator section the cleaned air stream enters the clean air plenum, which directs it to the system fan inlet. Should higher levels of particulate removal be required than the single stage scrubber can obtain, modular filter sections can be installed in this clean air plenum.

Several standard HIT Wet Scrubber Systems are available up to 25,000 CFM. Call us at 918-663-5310 or email your application details and one of our application engineers will get back with you quickly.
