High-Capacity Emission & Mist Control for the Steel Industry
Steel production involves pickling, galvanizing, rolling and by-product operations that can release acid/base gases, corrosive mists, odorous compounds and oily aerosols. Ravebo designs and builds tailored wet scrubber systems that protect people and assets, reduce nuisance and keep permits intact.
Why emission control matters in steelmaking
Corrosive media, high moisture loads and variable airflows demand predictable, low-maintenance abatement. The right system protects workers and neighbours, prevents corrosion and supports continuous production.
-
Compliance & permits
Meet emission limits for acid mists and nuisance gases. -
Worker & community safety
Capture corrosive and odorous emissions before release. -
Asset protection
Reduce corrosion on ducts, stacks and plant equipment. -
Operational continuity
Stable performance with predictable OPEX.
Key challenges in steel production
From pickling-line mists to galvanizing fumes and oily aerosols, steel plants need reliable capture and separation across changing loads.
Top challenges
-
Acid mists from pickling/ARP
HCl and H₂SO₄ mists and fumes around tanks and regeneration units. -
Galvanizing emissions
Ammonium/chloride species and acid vapours from flux and pretreatment. -
Oil mist & steam
Rolling/annealing lines generate aerosols and high humidity. -
Variable loads & peaks
Threading, coil changes and line stops/starts.
Ravebo solutions for the Steel Industry
We configure wet scrubbers per application—matching absorption chemistry, droplet separation, materials and controls for compliant, low-maintenance performance.
Packed-bed absorption
High-efficiency gas absorption for acid/base gases (HCl, H₂SO₄, NH₃) with the right liquor and residence time.
Mist elimination & drainage
Multi-stage droplet separators with re-entrainment control for corrosive mists and humid exhaust.
Gas conditioning & cooling
Quench/conditioning sections to protect downstream equipment and stabilise performance.
Materials & effluent management
PP, PE, PVC-C, FRP or PVDF/PTFE; stainless/duplex where required. Recirculation with monitored blowdown and neutralisation.
HCl mist abatement on continuous pickling line
A steel mill faced corrosive mists and complaints near the stack. Ravebo supplied a compact multi-stage scrubber with packed-bed absorption, high-efficiency mist elimination and integrated blowdown handling, tied into existing controls.
- >99% acid-mist reduction at stack (application-dependent)
- Reduced corrosion on nearby equipment and structures
- Permit compliance with audit-ready documentation
