🌬️ BOREAS P2
Horizontal Packed Bed Wet Scrubber

High-Efficiency Gas & Dust Removal in a Low-Profile Design

The BOREAS P2 is a horizontal packed bed scrubber engineered for industrial air streams containing acid gases, corrosive vapors, odors, and fine particulates.
Its low-profile horizontal design makes it ideal for facilities with limited vertical height, indoor installations, mezzanine spaces, or retrofit projects where a tall vertical tower cannot be used.

This system combines precise water distribution, high-surface-area packing media, and an efficient mist eliminator to deliver reliable gas absorption and dust capture in a compact footprint.

⚙️ How the BOREAS P2 Works
1️⃣ Air Inlet and Flow Stabilization

Contaminated air enters the scrubber through a horizontal duct connection.
Inside, the airflow slows and spreads evenly, reducing turbulence before entering the packed zone.

2️⃣ Spray Zone & Chemical Injection

A series of spray nozzles saturate the packing and introduce the scrubbing solution.
This creates a high-efficiency contact environment where gases begin to dissolve and react.

3️⃣ Packed Bed Absorption Section

The heart of the scrubber.
Air travels horizontally through a deep bed of structured or random packing media.
Here, the scrubbing liquid continuously coats the packing, creating thousands of micro-surfaces that maximize mass transfer.

This step removes:

HCl, HBr, HF

SO₂ and SO₃

NH₃

VOC components

Odors and corrosive fumes

Some fine particulate matter

4️⃣ Polishing Spray Stage

A secondary spray section ensures complete gas absorption and washes out migrating dust.

5️⃣ Mist Eliminator

A chevron blade or mesh-pad mist eliminator captures any remaining droplets, ensuring dry, clean air leaves the system.

6️⃣ Recirculation System

Water and chemicals collect in the sump, where pumps recirculate the solution and automated controls maintain pH and chemical dosing.

🔧 Technical Highlights

Airflow capacity: 1,200 to 40,000 CFM

Removal efficiency: up to 99% for acid gases

Pressure drop: typically 2–4 in. w.c.

Construction materials: PP, PVC, HDPE, FRP, or stainless steel

Packing types: structured blocks, random Tri-Pack, Pall rings, or specialty media

Spray system: corrosion-resistant nozzles with easy-access manifolds

Pump system: chemical-resistant recirculation pumps with optional VFD control

Service access: full-length front doors for packing inspection and cleaning

🏭 Ideal Applications
Industry Typical Contaminants
Chemical manufacturing HCl, HF, SO₂, corrosive vapors
Electronics & semiconductor Acid fumes, ammonia, cleanroom exhaust
Food & fragrance Odor control and VOC removal
Metal finishing Plating line fumes, pickling vapors
Waste treatment H₂S, ammonia, organic odors
Laboratory facilities Toxic gas neutralization and process venting

Anywhere ceiling height is limited, the BOREAS P2 is the scrubber that fits.

✅ Advantages

Horizontal low-profile design — perfect for indoor and low-headroom spaces

High removal efficiency for acid gases and corrosive fumes

Easy maintenance through large access doors

Reliable and simple operation with stable pressure drop

Highly customizable packing depth, media type, and nozzle configuration

Corrosion-resistant construction for long service life

Ideal for retrofits where vertical scrubbers cannot be installed

🔄 Operation & Maintenance Tips

Monitor sump level and pump flow weekly

Inspect spray nozzles monthly for scale or debris

Rinse packing annually or as required by chemical load

Maintain target pH in the liquid for consistent gas absorption

Clean or replace mist eliminator pads at scheduled intervals

Verify system pressure drop to detect early fouling

🎯 YouTube Narration Summary

“The BOREAS P2 is the scrubber you choose when you need big performance in a small vertical space.
Its horizontal packed-bed design delivers powerful gas absorption and fine particulate capture without the height of a tower system.
With high-efficiency packing, a robust spray system, and a built-in mist eliminator, the BOREAS P2 handles the toughest chemical fumes and corrosive gases while fitting where other scrubbers simply can’t.”
