In this paper we discuss a unique process technology called the V-tex scrubber. Its design makes it particularly suitable for a wide range of scrubbing and stripping applications, where it can deliver economic and technical advantages for the operator versus conventional packed tower or tray scrubbers, venturi and fluidized bed scrubbers.

In cases where there are both particulate and gaseous contaminations present, or when the contamination reacts to form a glutinous by-product or slurry, there can be challenging design issues for the scrubbing or stripping systems in terms of reliability and performance.

V-tex scrubbing, with its unique vortex process flow design and extraordinary non-clogging opposed jet nozzle, not only overcomes many of the reliability issues of traditional scrubbers but also allows highly efficient process intensification.
