Abstract

Optimum concentration of the acid-scrubbing solution employed in a scrubbing tower for removal of malodorous and/or toxic gases from the air is maintained automatically in a control system which senses the electrical conductivity of the solution to control acid-feeding apparatus. High and low concentration alarms are also provided to warn of malfunction.
