Award Winning Emergency Gas (EGS) Chlorine Scrubber - Silvan Dam Australia

In 2003 Airepure installed a 1 tonne IT Chlorine Scrubber at the Silvan Dam Disinfectant Plant in Victoria, Australia - where this Emergency Gas Scrubber (EGS) removes the contents of a fully-loaded chlorine cylinder to ensure compliance with legislation that requires the risk of chlorine release be reduced as far as is practicable. This was so successful that Purafil (USA) won a major Industry award in April 2003 - The Business Achievement Award in Technology awarded by the Environmental Business Journal of USA (EBJ) due to the revolutionary solution that was provided - as was stated by the EBJ "The dry scrubber was selected because it is simpler (than a wet scrubber) and does not involve having liquid caustic soda on-site".
