Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] CO2 scrubber

[Marc de Piolenc <piolenc@archivale.com>]

1. Smaller market.

2. Processing. My guess is that great care is taken to remove fine dust 
from alkali that will be used in scrubbers, and perhaps there is 
additional processing to put it into a form that will not form new dust 
during handling - prills, or something of the sort. Not good to let 
corrosive dust reach your customers' lungs. Preventing caking might 
require additional processing.

Any system that uses commercial slaked lime will need to provide for the 
removal - or at least the isolation - of dust.

Best,
Marc
