Custom Insulated Scrubbers
Roben, Mfg, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of custom insulated scrubbers, delivering high-performance vessels for gas cleaning, contaminant removal, and stream conditioning applications. Our custom insulated scrubbers maintain optimal operating temperatures while efficiently removing particles, liquids, and chemical contaminants from gas streams.
What is a Custom Insulated Scrubbers?
A custom insulated scrubber is a specialized pressure vessel designed to remove contaminants from gas streams through various mechanisms including gravitational settling, inertial impaction, absorption, and filtration, while maintaining controlled temperatures through integrated insulation. These vessels protect downstream equipment and ensure gas quality for processing or discharge.
Insulation is critical for scrubbers handling temperature-sensitive applications where contaminant behavior, absorption efficiency, or gas properties vary significantly with temperature. Our custom insulated scrubbers deliver reliable thermal management while providing superior contaminant removal across diverse industrial applications.
Why are Custom Insulated Scrubbers Needed?
Custom Insulated Scrubbers are essential for operations that require:
- Temperature-Dependent Absorption: Many scrubbing processes are temperature-sensitive, with absorption efficiency varying significantly with temperature. Insulation maintains optimal conditions.
- Condensation Management: Proper temperature control prevents unwanted condensation or ensures controlled condensation for liquid recovery applications.
- Hydrate and Wax Prevention: In hydrocarbon applications, insulation maintains temperatures above hydrate and wax formation points.
- Chemical Reaction Control: Some scrubbing reactions are temperature-dependent. Insulation maintains conditions for optimal reaction kinetics.
- Equipment Protection: Consistent contaminant removal protects downstream compressors, catalysts, and process equipment.
- Personnel Safety: Insulated surfaces protect operators from thermal hazards during routine operations and maintenance.

Custom Insulated Scrubbers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What packing materials are available for tower scrubbers?
We install various packing types including random packings (Pall rings, Raschig rings, saddles) and structured packings (corrugated sheets, wire gauze). Material options include polypropylene, CPVC, stainless steel, and specialty alloys based on chemical compatibility and temperature requirements.
How do you design scrubbers for corrosive applications?
We select materials based on detailed chemical compatibility analysis, considering both the gas stream contaminants and scrubbing liquids. Options include lined carbon steel, solid alloy construction, and non-metallic materials. Insulation systems include appropriate vapor barriers and corrosion-resistant jacketing for the specific environment.
Can scrubbers include recirculation systems?
Yes, we design complete scrubber packages with recirculation pumps, heat exchangers for temperature control, makeup systems, and blowdown provisions. Insulation extends to piping and auxiliary equipment for complete thermal management of the scrubber system.
What removal efficiencies can be achieved?
Removal efficiency depends on the specific contaminant, scrubbing method, and design parameters. We design scrubbers to achieve specified outlet concentrations, whether for environmental compliance or process requirements. Multi-stage systems are available for demanding applications requiring very high removal efficiencies.
