Do facilities that operate wet air pollution control scrubbers discharge that wastewater?
Yes, facilities that operate these devices typically discharge a blowdown stream from the scrubber periodically. Some facilities may also operate these devices with a continuous discharge. Often, these facilities treat the scrubber water prior to discharge to the POTW or receiving stream. Note: Under the P2 alternative, facilities must employ some recirculation of water used in air pollution control scrubbers.
