If you're operating a high-output commercial kitchen, meeting air quality and fire safety regulations isn’t optional—it’s mission critical. That’s why the CKV HydroDynamic Scrubber™  was engineered specifically to address these pain points head-on. This wet scrubber system offers 24/7 grease, smoke, and odor removal , ensuring your facility remains compliant with NFPA fire codes, EPA emission standards, and OSHA indoor air quality requirements —all while reducing long-term maintenance costs and minimizing environmental impact. CKV Scrubber Why Compliance Matters Each year, commercial cooking operations cause over $100 million in fire-related property damage , not to mention the hidden costs of: Grease-induced damage  to rubber roofing Staining on building exteriors Contaminated HVAC coils , driving up energy use and maintenance frequency Adding to the risk, many traditional CKV systems are simply not equipped to handle the job. In fact, a 2006 white paper by FCSI found that most conventional filtration methods remove less than 50% of grease particulate , and virtually none of the vaporized grease  or fine particulate (PM2.5). The Scrubber That Delivers Where Others Fall Short The CKV HydroDynamic Scrubber™ is designed for the unique pollutant profile of commercial kitchens . It uses a water-based scrubbing process to: Capture fine grease particulates  and vaporized grease Eliminate odors and smoke Protect surrounding infrastructure from corrosion and buildup Support EPA regulations  in designated non-attainment areas where PM2.5 levels are closely monitored Unlike impingement-style filters or baffles, this system is engineered for high-efficiency performance , especially where other CKV technologies fail—removing pollutants smaller than 2.5 microns and reducing emissions that could otherwise lead to inspection failures or environmental violations . Built for 24/7 Demands Whether you're operating around the clock or expanding your facility, the HydroDynamic Scrubber™ provides continuous filtration without sacrificing performance or compliance —keeping your operations clean, safe, and audit-ready.

A wet scrubber  and a hydrodynamic scrubber  are closely related —but not always exactly the same. Here’s the breakdown: Wet Scrubber (General Term) A wet scrubber  is a general air pollution control device that uses a liquid (usually water)  to remove pollutants from an airstream. It's a broad category that includes many types of scrubbing technologies like: Venturi scrubbers Spray towers Packed bed scrubbers They’re used to capture: Particulate matter Acid gases Odors Vapors Hydrodynamic Scrubber (Specific Type of Wet Scrubber) A hydrodynamic scrubber is a specific type of wet scrubber designed to enhance fluid dynamics—that is, the interaction between gas and liquid streams—without relying on nozzles, filters, or packing media. At Air Dynamics , the Hydrodynamic Scrubber refers to a proprietary design  with features like: No high-pressure nozzles (lower maintenance) Automatic skimming and cleaning Heavy-duty stainless construction Inerting of hazardous dust (e.g., aluminum) Compact footprint with hands-free operation In Summary: All hydrodynamic scrubbers are wet scrubbers. Not all wet scrubbers are hydrodynamic scrubbers. "Hydrodynamic" typically refers to a more advanced, engineered variant designed for higher efficiency and less maintenance.

Low-energy wet scrubber (NAICS CODE: 333413) When it comes to industrial air pollution control, the term "scrubber" is often used—but what exactly does it mean? In the simplest terms, a scrubber is an air cleaning or purifying device , engineered to remove pollutants from process exhaust streams before they are released into the atmosphere. At Air Dynamics , we specialize in wet scrubbers , specifically our proprietary hydrodynamic scrubber , which offers one of the most efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance solutions on the market for industrial air purification. What Is a Wet Scrubber? A wet scrubber  mimics a portion of nature’s own air cleaning process—removing harmful vapors and particulates by converting them into manageable forms such as droplets or solids through liquid-gas interaction . These systems are especially effective when dealing with hot exhaust air streams  containing pollutants in vapor form. For example, during a curing process in an industrial oven, a liquid-based pollutant might evaporate and be carried into the exhaust. Without proper treatment, this pollutant could contribute to man-made air pollution . A wet scrubber captures these vapors , condensing them into droplets, which can then be filtered, treated, or legally disposed of. How It Works Our hydrodynamic scrubber  is engineered to convert vapor-phase pollutants into liquid or solid forms that can be removed from the air stream. This process doesn’t rely on filters, media, or high-pressure nozzles—making the system low-maintenance and highly efficient . Key Applications: Curing ovens with VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions Hot industrial exhaust streams with vapor pollutants Hazardous combustible dust control  (e.g., aluminum or titanium dust) Air cleaning for manufacturing, processing, and heat-treatment operations In dust-related applications, the wet scrubber can be used to render combustible particles inert , reducing the risk of explosion and increasing facility safety. Key Benefits of the Air Dynamics Hydrodynamic Scrubber No filters, nozzles, or media  to replace or service Highest removal efficiency  with minimal energy consumption Heavy-duty stainless steel construction  for long-term durability Hands-free operation  with automatic skimming and self-cleaning features Compact design  with a small footprint Vertical and horizontal configurations  available Fully assembled for fast installation and minimal setup Hinged access panels  for quick maintenance Whether you're managing volatile organic compounds, acidic gases, or hazardous dust, our wet scrubber systems are engineered to provide long-lasting, low-cost performance —backed by expert engineering and full system support.
