The EST Type DES 3000 is pre-engineered and available for shipment in eight to 10 weeks.
A variety of custom configurations also are available.
The Type DES 3000 has a room exhaust rate of 3,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and boasts only one moving part, the fan.
The Type STS dry pellet media used in the EST Type DES 3000 system is landfill disposable and non-hazardous in the fresh and spent forms.
If not exposed to chlorine, the Type STS media has an indefinite life expectancy.
As a result, dry media replacement and disposal costs over a 20-year operational period, assuming complete media exhaustion, are as low as half of the cost for caustic solution used in wet scrubbers.
Dry chlorine scrubbers do not require liquid chemical leak containment or double wall vessel construction and they operate at sub-zero temperatures without the use of heaters.
