Purafil Industrial Applications Corrosion Control Corrosion is defined as the deterioration of metal due to the presence of acid gases. As corrosion build-up occurs, currents become blocked, connection points become brittle and electrical systems overheat. Heavy industry plants, mills and refineries rely on dry scrubbing systems to protect process and motor control systems from the damaging effects of corrosion. These systems, housed in motor control centers, rack rooms and central control rooms, are ultimately responsible for the smooth operations of production processes.
Corrosion can result in costly repairs, production downtime, and lost profits.
Removal of Toxic Gases Purafil's dry scrubbing systems protect production personnel from toxic gas emissions. During the production of silicon wafers, for example, personnel risk exposure to hazardous gases, such as diborane, silane and phosphine. Even in low concentrations, these gases are strong irritants to the eyes, skin and lungs. Chronic exposure may pose serious health risks. By removing these gases from recirculation air, Purafil ensures a controlled and safe work environment.
