Hello all,
I am beginning to devise plans for a multi-stage fume scrubber similar to the one posted by phildreamer (I think). I am using a 2000ml reaction chamber but may want to go up one day. I will be using 6" PVC approximately 66 inches high with a fogging atomizer in the top above the packing in the first two stages.(but I don"t know what to use) I am thinking I should go with a 3 CFM diaphram style pump so it will hold up better under the corrosive fumes- Or should i just cheap out and buy a used one and let it burn up. I am going to have the vacuum exhaust into the air stream from my fume hood just before it goes outside to help diffuse any residual vapors. I've looked at a lot of posts about fume scrubbers but am still not sure if my plans are on the right track.
To clarify what I am asking:
1. is a diaphram style pump the best way to go.
2. How am I sure 3cfm is the right size
3. What do I use for packing
4. does any of what I said sound right
Any recommendations or observations would be appreciated.
Thanks
