Maelstrom™Series
Compact Wet-Scrubbing Systems

This range of compact wet scrubbers have been specifically designed for laboratory fume hoods and are therefore kept as simple and compact as possible. The patented technology employed by Maelstrom™ scrubbers is the same as used on the larger range of industrial scrubbing systems as supplied to the chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries. This well proven scrubbing technology provides highly efficient and intense mass transfer in the absence of any packing as would normally be in conventional scrubbing systems.

Its unique design and licensed patented nozzle technology makes the system self cleaning and its all polypropylene construction ensure virtually trouble free operation.

Designed for high efficiency in treating a wide range of acids and alkalis, the system is also very effective in removing particulates greater than 10 micron in size.
