Tri-mer’s C/E-1 Chrome Scrubber scrubs all Chrome, including Cr6 and Cr3, at efficiencies at or above 99.5%, regardless of input loading.

The system is all–mechanical and does not consume chemicals or generate waste. It can also be scaled to facilities of all sizes.

Tri-mer’s chrome scrubber features a multi-layer polypropylene pad system which operates under negative pressure. The filter apparatus is washed continuously in a nearly closed loop configuration. When chrome levels approach set point (generally 3000 ppm) water is forwarded to chrome recovery, or returned to the plating bath.

This Tri-Mer C/E-1 chrome scrubber is a low energy system generating less than 6" of internal static pressure, therefore energy consumption is extraordinarily low. Total water use is also low: average consumption is 15 gallons per hour for a 20,000 cfm unit. The C/E-1 chrome scrubber has no internal moving parts to wear or replace. Chrome can be recovered from both the gas stream and the filter.

The Chrome Scrubber is simple to install and operate and is available in single units of capacities
up to 50,000 cfm. Installation can be accomplished by Scion Technologies or by plant personnel. A standard skid-mounted package is provided, which includes duct connections, controls interfacing, fan, recirculation tank, pump and piping.

The standard C/E-1 is constructed of Type 1 PVC, the material recommended for high chrome concentrations. The estimated minimum service life of the filter is five years under continuous use.
The system is projected to provide ten years of continuous service before primary maintenance
is required.
