Particulate Scrubbers are used to transfer solids, liquid droplets/mists from a carrier gas into a receiving liquid. This transfer requires both the humidification of the gas by the host liquid and creation of target droplets into which the transference occurs. This process requires energy to create the liquid droplets that will humidify and form the targets.

The term “Wet Scrubbers” came into fashion after World War II as people became more aware of the negative effect they were having on the earth’s environment.  Along with other technology, Wet Scrubbers were and still are seen as an efficient way of cleansing industrial, commercial and municipal vapor emissions prior to their release into the atmosphere. Actually, Wet Scrubbers are broken down into a number of categories.  Although Wet Scrubbers are most often used for Air Pollution Control applications, the term only refers to the devices used to capture particulate or mists/droplets that behave like particulate.  Devices used to capture vapors or odors are called “Wet Absorbers” since they take advantage of a specific liquid (frequently but not always water) having the ability to dissolve a specific gas or gasses.

Pharmeceutical as well as other industrial plants are faced with having either a small emission control unit at each reactor, or one large central emissions control unit with a maze of ductwork running to and from each source. The pollution control units are usually scrubbers/absorbers comprised of a noxious gas/chemically enhanced wet liquid contactor, a collector tank, a pump, and a fan.
