Macrotek - Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber
The Macrotek Packed Bed Scrubber is an air pollution control sollution that utilizes a horizontal cross-flow design for high efficient absorption of gases. In the horizontal cross-flow scrubber design, gas flows horizontally while scrubbing liquid flows down through a liquid distribution system. The scrubber includes a random packing section where the absorption of gases occurs. A high efficiency mist eliminator removes entrained liquids. This is an essential step in the overall performance of the pollution control scrubber system. Re-circulating liquid is sprayed vertically down, cross-flow to the gas flow. A regulated amount of reagent is mixed in the re-circulating liquid to maintain a target set-point. The contaminants in the gas react with the selected reagent. The reaction product is carried with other particulates in the re-circulating liquid. An integral sump is located at the base of the packing section, eliminating the need for an external tank.
