Scrubber and absorber tower lining
Scrubbers and absorber towers face acidic condensate and wet chemical attack that thin shell steel at the internals and liquid distribution zones.
The need for scrubber and absorber tower lining
BHI Coatings performs scrubber and absorber tower lining across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Acidic condensate and wet chemical attack thin the shell of a scrubber or absorber tower at the internals and the liquid distribution zones. Those wet, low-pH areas eat steel faster than the rest of the tower. Perforate there and you have lost capture efficiency, an emissions problem, and an unplanned outage on a unit the plant needs running.
How BHI Coatings does scrubber and absorber tower lining
Our crew preps the tower interior, then applies a chemical-resistant cold-cure lining matched to the acidic service. Internals and distribution zones take the same continuous film as the shell. The application is cold and cures during the scheduled outage, with no hot work inside the tower.
The tower recoats during the planned outage and comes back with a fresh chemical-resistant barrier across the shell and the wet internals.

Bund walls spall from the inside out, exposing rebar and opening cold-joint cracks until the wall no longer holds its rated volume.
