This Ohio manufacturing company refurbishes Teflon coated baking trays by removing the teflon coating in a high temperature furnace. The process not only generates high levels of Hydrofluoric Acid but also particulates in the 5 micron size range. A Fluidized Bed Scrubber was utilized based on its exceptional ability to simultaneously absorb gaseous contaminants and remove fine dust and soot particulates without fouling. The Fluidized Bed Scrubber follows a high temperature adiabatic quenching system that cools the process gases from 1500°F to near its saturation temperature. The scrubbers solids handling capabilities make it ideal for recycling slurries, minimizing wastewater and product recovery processes.
