A galvanic cell system ( ) in fluid communication with a dewatering system ( ) of an inhibited oxidation scrubber ( ) removes an oxidation catalyst, i.e., solution phase iron ( ), from the process liquor ( ) produced by the dewatering system ( ) and replaces the iron ( ) with magnesium ( ) in an oxidation-reduction reaction. An electrolytic cell system ( ) in fluid communication with a dewatering system ( ) of a forced oxidation scrubber ( ) removes an oxidation inhibitor, i.e., solution phase aluminum ( ), from the process liquor ( ) produced by the dewatering system ( ) and replaces the aluminum ( ) with iron ( ) in an oxidation-reduction reaction. The process liquor ( ) is subsequently returned to the scrubber ( ) with the solution phase metal ( ) selectively removed, thereby enhancing the scrubbing efficiency of the scrubber ( ).
