California Chemical Scrubber Case Study: Eliminating HCL Emissions with Engineered Fume Control
In this industrial air quality case study, LibertyCES engineered a custom HCL scrubber system in California to eliminate fugitive hydrochloric acid (HCL) emissions. The client, a chemical processing facility, faced serious compliance violations, equipment corrosion, and safety hazards.
By designing and installing a polypropylene HCL fume scrubber integrated with real-time sensors and low-maintenance emission control hardware, our team delivered full EPA and OSHA air quality compliance—and improved air quality for the facility’s operators.
Fugitive Emissions Control – Before vs. After with Custom HCL Scrubber
❌ Before: Industrial Problems
- HCL Fume Emissions were escaping into the facility and surrounding environment.
- Compliance Failures due to inadequate air pollution control measures.
- Corroded Equipment from acid vapors reduced system lifespan.
- Unsafe Conditions exposed workers to hazardous fumes.
- High Maintenance Costs from system leaks and emergency repairs.
✅ After: LibertyCES Solution
- Fugitive Emissions Eliminated with polypropylene HCL scrubber system.
- Full Air Quality Compliance with EPA, OSHA, and Title 22 standards.
- Durable Materials selected for long-term acid resistance.
- Safer Work Environment through neutralization of toxic fumes.
- Reduced Maintenance & Downtime with streamlined chemical transfer systems in California.

LibertyCES installed a custom polypropylene HCL scrubber system for a chemical facility in California.
