Retrofits/Upgrades From capacity increases and decreasing maintenance to meeting new pollution
regulations, Ceilcote engineers can offer a wide range of solutions to
upgrade your existing air pollution control system. A few more typical
scenarios are listed below. Please contact your local Ceilcote
representative to review your specific needs.
Capacity Increases
For situations where existing packed towers have operated successfully
but higher exhaust gas throughput is now required, our newest packing,
the Type 3-K Tellerette can offer increased throughput at lower pressure
drop. The 3-K has been tested at velocities up 700 feet per minute or
40% higher than most conventional packed tower designs. Back to Top
Column Fouling
For applications where packed towers have proved unreliable due to fouling
from insoluble particulate, reaction by-products, chemical scaling or
bacteriological growth, conversion to a Fluidized-bed
scrubber design
may be the answer. By replacing the fixed packed bed with Fluid-bed-Pack
or Fluid-bed-Fill, expensive downtime due to chemical cleaning cycles
and packing replacement can be virtually eliminated while actually increasing
removal efficiency. Back to Top
Particulate Removal
Many industries now face new or more stringent levels of particulate
removal. Upcoming EPA regulations will require more effective equipment
for fine particulate matter (PM2.5). Without scrapping your existing
system, Ceilcote can provide a variety of solutions to improve the performance
of your existing equipment.
- Existing packed towers designed for gas absorption only can
be converted to Fluidized-bed
scrubbers to achieve simultaneous gas
and particulate removal
- For reduction of extremely fine particulate
from existing particulate scrubbers, addition of an Ionizing
Wet Scrubber to the end of the equipment train can dramatically improve
efficiency with minimal pressure drop (<1.0 inches WC) increase.

Process Changes
Ceilcote Air Pollution Control has a staff of highly qualified chemical
engineers that can help evaluate necessary modifications to your existing
pollution control equipment due to process changes, regulatory changes,
or both. Contact your local Ceilcote representative for assistance. Back
