1. Introduction
The laboratory gas scrubbers are scrubbers serving for purifying exhaust
waste air for small quantities of air and they are designed to serve for
exhausting air from workplaces, laboratories and for industrial use.
The scrubber system developed by DGE GmbH firm can be realized as a

single apparatus separately or as a built-in variant into a laboratory case.
The developed laboratory scrubbers make it possible to maintain also

specified limit values given by law for exhausting the drawn off waste gas
directly in the place of occurrence, therefore, it is possible in this way to
maintain MAK values below a permissible limit value.
In spite of a simple design and construction the laboratory gas scrubber

is fitted with an measuring instrumentation, which guarantees for
personnel a safety course of work in all cases.
1.1 Field of application

The field of application of the gas scrubbers covers many fields of
industry and municipal economy system.
As the main field of application in industry they are considered to be

laboratory equipments. In this case it is possible to install the gas
scrubbers as mobile gas scrubbers or as an equipment installed firmly in
a chapel.
Further fields of application are in industry, e.g. at exhausting drawn off

air from reaction boiler storage tank at charge production in chemical and
pharmaceutical industry or at purifying the air exhausted from storage
tanks.
In view of the fact that the laboratory scrubbers are used often under
extreme conditions they are made of appropriate materials and fitted with
necessary safety equipment.

2. Description
2.1 Design
The laboratory scrubber consists of a two-stage scrubbing system
formed by a jetting gas scrubber and a subsequently installed gas
scrubber filled with small solid bodies. In this way it is guaranteed a high
gas scrubbing capacity and very often there is no need to carry out any
additional treatment of the drawn off air. Both the gas scrubbing systems
are arranged as a one compact system making it possible to carry out
maintenance service work simply. Into the washing circuit there is
included a cooler serving for heat exchanging and reaction heat
dissipation. It is possible to install a circular adsorber after the laboratory
gas scrubber to remove components, which can not be removed by the
gas scrubbing.
2.2 Function principle

A scrubbing solution necessary for the scrubbing process is at disposal
in the washing agent storage tank. It is made up through filling branches.
State of filling can be checked visually. By switching in the laboratory gas
scrubber a circulating pump is put into operation and both the gas
scrubbers are supplied with washing liquid. The jetting gas scrubber has
been designed so that inside the gas scrubber there is underpressure,
therefore, on workplace there is not necessary to install any other
additional fan for exhausting air. In case of need, however, it is possible
to include in the system a piping fan.
With the use of a conductivity measuring probe installed in the washing

circuit and with the help concentration measuring in the clean gas it is
possible to monitor continuously the gas scrubbing capacity of the table
gas scrubber. An additionally installed working hours counter makes it
possible to monitor time of using the washing solution.
In this way they are installed three mutually independent control criteria
of capacity of the laboratory gas scrubber.
2.3 Capacity parameters

The laboratory gas scrubbers are high-capacity gas scrubbers for small
flow-rates of air. They do exist 4 basic types for rates of flow of exhaust
air from 5 to 250 m³/h. In comparison with the table gas scrubbers the
laboratory gas scrubbers can be operated with a markedly higher
unpurified gas charge.
Attainable separation capacities at chemisorption are higher than 99.9 %
and at the same time the acid or lye proportioning and discharge of
washing solution consumed are carried out continuously.
A pressure increase for exhausting the drawn off air is of about 3-5 mbar.
In addition, by installing a drawn off fan it is possible to increase the
exhausting capacity.

D G E
3. Design type
The laboratory gas scrubber consists of a base plate on which the gas
scrubber system is installed.
3.1 Basic types
The basic type of the laboratory gas scrubber consists of the following
structural members:
Jetting gas scrubber K01 A filling state control

Gas scrubber with small bodies K01 B
Sludge storage tank B01
Circulating pump P01 ON/OFF switch
Demister F01
The basic type can be delivered in four basic sizes and the sludge
storage tank dimensions are adapted to the gas scrubber operation and
space conditions (circular or rectangular execution).
3.2. Additional equipment

The following additional equipment can be installed as optional:
Instrumentation MSR
Fan pH measuring
Circular adsorber Conductivity measuring
Proportioning station Purified gas measuring
Heating recording Recorder
Other additional equipment or execution for more extreme conditions are

manufactured on request.
3.3 Execution
3.3.1 Mobile design type fitted with a mobile table
For a flexible use the laboratory gas scrubber can be installed on a

mobile table. The exhaustion can be easily connected with the use of
flexible hoses.
3.3.2 Stationary design type in a laboratory case

For this application the laboratory gas scrubbers are built directly in the
upper part of the laboratory case. The dimensions are about as follows:
800x600x400 mm (L x W x D). The sludge storage tank can be installed
into the bottom part of the laboratory case.

D G E
4. Field of application
The laboratory gas scrubber is suitable above all for purifying smaller
flow rates of waste gas with high concentrations which is contaminated
with inorganic or organic substances as acids and lyes.
4.1 Chemisorption
The laboratory gas scrubber is equipped with two stages of washing, i.e.
a jetting gas scrubber and a scrubber filled with small bodies.
The calculation of a necessary number of theoretical stages NTU for a

given separation capacity is carried out in the following way:
NTU = ln (YE/YA)
YE - inlet concentration of components in the waste gas

YA - outlet concentration of components in the waste gas
The high separation degree of a gas scrubber fitted with small body filling
is calculated in the following way:
Z = NTU * HTU
Z - design height of the gas scrubber fitted with small body fillings
expressed in m
NTU - number of necessary theoretical separation stages
HTU - height of theoretical separation degree
By installing before a jetting gas scrubber it is already attained one NTU

as a minimum, therefore, it is possible to realize using a table gas
scrubber in total 3-5 NTU .
4.2 Absorption
Good results of absorption can be obtained in such cases when the
scrubbing process is nit equipped with a closed water circuit, however, in
cases when the laboratory gas scrubber is operated with the use of fresh
water. The attainable separation capacity corresponds to a value of
about 1 NTU. During operation with a closed circuit it is necessary,
however, into consideration absorption and desorption effects.
As opposed to the method of calculation for chemisorption it is necessary

at absorption to take into consideration additionally also phase
equilibrium
YE,A = CE,A * Hi
C - concentration of components in liquid phase

Hi - Henry’s coefficient of component i
By this limitation it is obvious that with the use of absorption it is possible

to attain a good separation capacity only in substances well water-
soluble as for example ammonia.

D G E
5. Application examples
5.1 Chemisorption
A flow rate of the exhaust air is of 250 m³/h and the air is NH3 saturated
in a concentration of 100 mg/m³. A limit of odour disturbance is of 3
mg/m³.
For solving the task it is necessary to use the following theoretical

number of stages:
NTU = ln (100/3) = 3.5
As a washing agent it is used 20 % sulphuric acid. With the help of trials

the following separation stages have been found for DGE-LGW 300-150
type:
Jetting gas scrubber 2,0

Gas scrubber with small solid bodies 3,0
In this way it is possible to solve the given task with the use of the
laboratory gas scrubber so that the waste gas with 5 NTU is washed to a
value of 0,7 mg/m³.
Transfer fluids connected with a substance form a firm know how and it is
used in any design.
5.2 Absorption
The explanation of absorption can be presented in advance only
approximately for the reason of a complex mass transfer. It is purposeful
to carry out a pilot trial to find a separation efficiency. When starting from
the maximum theoretical transfer unit NTU = 1 it is possible to realize
with water absorption a maximum separation efficiency of about 60%.
In this case it is not necessary to install any circulating pump. The jetting
gas scrubber and gas scrubber filled with small solid bodies are supplied
directly with fresh water. The saturated scrubbing water is discharged
directly from a common sludge storage tank.

D G E
6. Equipment designs
The basic structure of the complete laboratory gas scrubber is shown on
the method diagrammatic plan included as a part of the enclosure. The
equipment consists of the following assemblies:
- Jetting gas scrubber K 01 A

- Gas scrubber filled with small solid bodies K 01 B
- Washing water storage tank and relaxation tank B 01
- Demister F01
- Circulating pump P 01
- MSR instrumentation
By means of these assemblies the automatic operation of the waste gas

purification can be realized.
6.1 Common design

For fully automatic operation of the table gas scrubber it is necessary to
apply only both filling state control and protection of the circulating pump
against idle running. Additionally, it is possible to install the following
equipment:
pH measuring
Conductivity measuring
Purified gas measuring
7. Laboratory gas scrubbers – type series

For the use of the laboratory gas scrubbers they do exist 4 different
assemblies for purifying exhaust gas with a flow rate of 5 to 250 m³/h.
Type designation of the laboratory gas scrubber is formed in accordance
with the following scheme:
DGE-LGW-D1/D2-A-B
It means in this case as follows:
DGE firm name

LGW laboratory gas scrubber
D1/D2 FKW/SW -type
S/T stationary or mobile execution
A material used
B year of manufacture
With the use of that classification the equipment – laboratory gas

scrubbers – can be unequivocally classified and their service ensured.
