An Environmental Evaluation of Acid Scrubbers; Building 628, McClellan AFB CA

Abstract

An environmental evaluation was conducted of an operation in which nitric, perchloric, and hydrochloric acid vapors and aerosols are generated. The evaluation was requested to determine why a visible white plume existed at the exhaust of a wet scrubber. The white plume was formed regardless of meteorological conditions when acid vapors and aerosols were generated. The evaluation included a scrubber efficiency study, an environmental assessment and an air pollution regulation compliance tests.
