ScrubAir designs, fabricates, installs and services ventilation systems locally for small midsize and large metal finishing facilities - as well as nationally for a variety of finishing industries including Fortune 500 and 100 companies across the U.S.  ScrubAir also serves the international metal finishing community around the globe - such as Air New Zealand in Christchurch, NZ!

Air New Zealand

Engineering representatives for Air New Zealand attended the 1997 AESF Aerospace Conference in San Francisco to research various methods for chrome removal.  Although New Zealand didn't have specific environmental regulations for chrome emissions at the time, the Christchurch plating facility wanted the best technology available to eliminate the chrome coming from their stack - and they wanted guaranteed test results of .005 mg/dsmc.

After talking with Tom O'Connor at the AESF exhibit and attending American Airline's presentation of ScrubAir's successful retrofit, the engineers made plans to return to the States to visit the ScrubAir offices and production facilities near Chicago - touring the plating shops of several ScrubAir clients to actually see ScrubAir ventilation systems in full operation.

When Air New Zealand placed an order with ScrubAir for the fabrication, delivery and installation of an 8,000 CFM scrubber, Tom flew to New Zealand in November and met with the airline's engineers and plant managers to make sure the new unit would fit into the very limited space allowed in the plating facility's basement.

Tom submitted final measurements, the ScrubAir production crew fabricated the scrubber and shipped it to Christchurch, New Zealand.  In February, when the unit was ready to be installed, ScrubAir sent their environmental engineer back to New Zealand to oversee the installation and (successful!) stack testing of the ScrubAir system.

ScrubAir takes the needs of every client very seriously - even when that client is half way around the world!
