Compact and laboratory gas scrubbers for chemical emission control
For efficient gas treatment and emission control in laboratory and production settings, these compact and laboratory gas scrubbers offer seamless integration, enhancing safety and compliance by effectively managing volatile gases and compounds.

Scrubs and Neutralizes Hazardous Gases
The Compact and Laboratory Gas Scrubber System by GEA is designed to tackle complex gas treatment and emission control challenges in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Utilizing a jet scrubber combined with an absorption column, it increases gas flow pressure without requiring mechanical fans. The system is versatile, accommodating multiple configurations and size options (DN40 to DN250) to meet specific operational needs.
Its applications range from chlorine gas removal and ammonia scrubbing to VOC treatment and acid gas absorption, ensuring safety and compliance in laboratory, pilot, and production plant settings. With a suction flow ranging from 2 m³/h to 1,500 m³/h, this system efficiently scrubs and neutralizes hazardous gases.
The scrubber’s construction materials, including polyethylene, polypropylene, and advanced copolymers, offer robust chemical and thermal resistance, suitable for varying operational environments. Users benefit from CE conformity and optional ATEX designs, making it dependable under strict safety requirements. With a modular concept, easy maintenance, and low space requirements, GEA offers engineering support for customization, ensuring the system integrates seamlessly into your production line.
