VOC Scrubber

Our finishes produce volatile organic compounds--a category of air pollution. To reduce our exposure to VOC's and the emission of them to the atmosphere, we designed and built a scrubber. The scrubber circulates the air of the finishing rooms through a bed of activated charcoal. We maintain constant temperature and humidity; we work in filtered air; the finishes are better; there is no discharge to the atmosphere.
