Deep Bed Scrubbers (DBS)

Our RECO Deep Bed Scrubber (DBS) systems absorb soluble gases from the airstream and transfer pollutants to the liquid phase to neutralize or destroy them. We engineer these odor control units specifically for environments facing high contaminant gas levels to deliver effective protection against environmentally induced corrosion. Every deep bed air scrubber we manufacture provides G1 classified clean air into the protected space, conforming to the strict environmental standards set by the Instrument Society of America (ISA).

Deep Bed Scrubber Features and Specifications

Our deep bed air scrubbers provide design flexibility to handle severe vapor phase odors and corrosive gases. We build each system with economical airflow capabilities and offer numerous configurations to match your facility requirements.

Chemical Media Options

We offer custom selection of up to 36 inches of various chemisorbant media. The media load is tailored depending on the specific corrosive gases present in your environment to ensure maximum efficiency. A full charge of media manufactured by RECO is included in every unit.

Technical Specifications

We engineer our chemical scrubber systems with standard and optional features to fit your exact site demands.

  • Standard Construction: 16 gauge galvanized steel on a skid mount.
  • Optional Materials: 0.090 aluminum or 16 gauge 304 or 316 stainless steel.
  • Filtration: Includes an ASHRAE-rated pre-filter and a final filter removing 95 percent of 1-micron particles.
  • Components: Equipped with a TEFC motor, blower, and magnetic pressure gauges.
  • Upgrades: Available with explosion-proof motors, rain louvers, redundant blowers, thermal coils, and protective coatings.

Deep Bed Air Scrubber (DBS) System Applications and Industries Served

Our deep bed air scrubbers protect sensitive electronics and facility personnel across various industrial environments. We design these chemical scrubber systems to sit outside the protected space and deliver clean air to our recirculation units, side access setups, or connected HVAC equipment.

We provide vapor phase odor control and gas purification for the following facilities:

  • Refineries and steel mills
  • Museums and data centers
  • Metal finishing and fertilizer production sites
  • Foundries and smelters

Deep Bed Scrubber vs. Packed Bed Scrubber

When evaluating gas phase filtration options, it helps to understand the distinct differences between a deep bed scrubber and a packed bed scrubber. While both systems remove harmful pollutants, they rely on completely different operational mechanisms.

  • Deep Bed Scrubbers: We build these units using dry chemical media beds that capture and neutralize gases through chemisorption and physical adsorption. They excel at purifying air to protect sensitive electronics and equipment from continuous low-level corrosive gases.
  • Packed Bed Scrubbers: These systems operate as wet scrubbers by spraying a liquid chemical solution over packing material to absorb contaminants. They demand continuous liquid waste management and are typically reserved for treating highly concentrated industrial exhaust streams.
