In June 1999, an urgent phone call from a long time ScrubAir client reported a high-priority situation at his chrome facility - but our ScrubAir Environmental Engineer wasn't quite prepared for this scene when he arrived at the site.  An early morning fire had ignited a plating tank, roared through the hoods and duct and swept into the fan and scrubber equipment on the roof.  The 32,000 CFM ScrubAir ventilation system was left in ruins, and the chrome plater's biggest production process line was down.

Knowing the importance of getting this client back into full production as soon as possible, ScrubAir immediately went into action.  Meeting with the plater's insurance company and submitting the required quotes and spreadsheet details were just the beginning - planning out the best strategy for the job with key ScrubAir supervisors really set the wheels in motion.  Production Supervisor Brian Szutkowski mobilized the crews for long weekend overtime hours, John Glomski (Design & Engineering) provided fabrication sketches, scheduled crane subcontractors, ordered a replacement fan and secured all materials necessary.  Tom O'Connor made sure that ScrubAir committed all available resources and labor to minimize every second of downtime for their client.

The results?
Extraordinary!

Five days after this catastrophic fire, ScrubAir had this chrome plater back in production by fabricating and installing a new 32,000 CFM Chrome Separator with fan, hoods and all ductwork necessary to ventilate the four plating tanks on this system.
