:<source>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved =

:* <code>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved</code> is how much pollution the scrubber removes perevery second.

:<source>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved = (tier - 1)^2 * airSides^2 * efficiency * airFlow / 10</source>

:As noted above, a scrubber running in low efficiency mode will remove half the <code>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved</code> value every second, and a ZPM scrubber or better will also remove <code>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved / 4</code> (or <code>/ 8</code> in low efficiency mode) from the eight directly and diagonally adjacent chunks.

Finally, just a small quirk of the scrubber: It will never remove more than half of the current pollution from a chunk in one operation. So when the pollution in the chunk becomes really low (less than twice the <code>PollutionRemovedPerSecondPollutionRemoved</code> value), the scrubber will remove less and less of it with every operation. But it will still damage the turbine and the filter at the same rate. If this is a problem for you, consider using a Pollution Detector to shut the scrubber down when pollution level gets low.
