Cleaning system for harmful gases (Waterleau)

The customer

Waterleau has sites all over the world and assists municipalities in managing wastewater treatment and production facilities to reduce their water, energy, and carbon footprints.

Purpose

For a Canadian client, Waterleau was looking for a supplier for the construction of 3 active plastic gas scrubbers (for neutralizing harmful fumes).

Problem-solution

Certain liquids emit strong fumes at ambient temperature and are harmful to humans and the environment. A gas scrubber neutralizes these fumes after they exit the tank vent. In other words, it is a cleaning system for harmful gases.

Our team was responsible for designing, building, and managing the transportation of this impressive project. We also provided tips & tricks during the practical development of the tanks.

In the workshop, we manufactured 3 gas scrubbers in HDPE with conical bottoms.
- Each unit has a capacity of 15 m³ and is nearly 8 meters tall at the highest point.
- For each gas scrubber, we installed a ladder, platform, railings, and walkways made of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (GRP).
- We also provided the piping at the top of the tanks.
- Extra challenge: Normally, each gas scrubber has its own water tank. In this specific situation, it was required that the 3 tanks be connected to a single common PE water tank. This allows them to operate simultaneously or separately.
Given the size of the installation, we were also responsible for transportation and lifting works to the Belgian port.
Plug and play system: The components were built and labeled in such a way that the Canadian team can easily assemble and connect the gas scrubbers themselves.
