MineARC's Electrically Powered carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) Scrubbing System is a self-contained unit designed to remove the build up of these potentially harmful gases from the air inside the refuge. The build up in CO/CO2 is caused by the occupants themselves - as they exhaust oxygen and replace with CO/CO2. Without scrubbing, the atmosphere inside an occupied refuge can become fatal in a matter of hours.

MineARC developed its electrically powered Scrubbing System to provide occupants with ease of use, extended time periods between chemical change outs, and varying levels of scrubbing capacity. MARCISORB 1000 (CO) and MARCISORB 1500 (CO2) pre-filled chemical containers provide proven absorbing capabilities and are easy to handle and store for long periods.

The Scrubber's Digital Control System combines the latest in bidirectional inverter technology with state of the art micro-processers to offer the most advanced, reliable and cost effective control system in the world. The system incorporates comprehensive battery management and monitoring features, enhanced communications, one touch emergency operation and automatic programmable atmospheric testing.
