What is a PP Spray Tower?
A PP Spray Tower which also called a Polypropylene Spray Tower, Scrubber Tower, Gas Scrubber, Air Pollution Control Tower, Industrial Scrubber, Fume Scrubber, or Acid Gas Scrubber that is an engineered wet‑scrubbing system used to clean harmful industrial exhaust gases. Built from corrosion‑resistant polypropylene, it uses sprayed liquid and high‑surface packing to capture, dissolve, or neutralize contaminants before releasing cleaned air.
Our PP Spray Tower is designed for demanding industrial settings and can be customized for airflow, chemical load, and site conditions. The system is widely used for corrosive fumes or other aggressive gases where traditional steel or less‑resistant materials would fail.
Why PP Spray Tower?
Key advantages for industrial emission control
· Outstanding corrosion resistance. Polypropylene withstands acids, alkalis, salts, and many harsh chemicals—ideal for corrosive fumes from plating, chemical, or battery plants.
· High purification efficiency. Senotay’s design emphasizes thorough gas–liquid contact plus mist elimination, supporting removal levels that meet or exceed strict standards.
· Lower operating costs via smart design. A recirculation pump and efficient liquid use can cut water consumption substantially, helping operations manage both cost and environmental impact.
· Lightweight, durable construction. PP’s combination of strength and low weight simplifies transport, installation, and maintenance compared to heavier metal systems.
· Flexible for different airflow ranges and sites. Models can be sized for small labs, pilot setups, or larger manufacturing operations, indoors or outdoors; supporting portable, rooftop, or fixed installations.

How does a PP Spray Tower work?
Working mechanism
1. Polluted gas entry. Exhaust containing corrosive fumes enters the lower section of the tower.
2. Liquid spray distribution. A pump sends scrubbing liquid to nozzles that spray it downward as a mist.
3. Gas–liquid interaction. Gas rises through the tower, passing through packing layers where it contacts the liquid. Pollutants dissolve, react, or are captured by the scrubbing solution.
4. Mist elimination. Before discharge, a dehydration or mist removal stage strips out entrained droplets to prevent carry‑over or condensation.
5. Clean gas exit. The purified gas is discharged, often through a fan or duct.
6. Liquid recirculation. The spent liquid is collected at the base, pumped back, and reused—minimizing fresh water needs and supporting continuous operation.
This counter‑flow or optimized flow design closely follows proven wet‑scrubber principles widely accepted in air‑pollution control and cited by environmental authorities.
