Sulfuric acid fume control standards
We have a large pickling operation for steel coils that gives off a large amount of sulfuric acid fumes. I would like to know if there is a standards reference that shows sizing criteria for scrubber cfms,velocities,etc.

Hi William,
Pickling wire? Go and contact Gary Burleigh of DAVIS WIRE in B.C. who can set you more straight than I.
Surely the sulfuric 'fumes' will be determined by the size/shape of the etching fluid tank .... thence, using a good hood design, one goes to a scrubber.
There are two entirely different scrubber designs ...
the old conventional mass transfer and the horizontal eliminator design.
Cheers Freeman Newton, scrubber designer.
