LDX Solutions Geoenergy - Packed Tower Scrubbers

The difference is that packed tower scrubbers have a layer of scrubbing media within the vessel that is designed to enhance contact with the contaminated gases. This media is wetted by a distribution header located on top of the media bed. The scrubbing media may be a random “dumped” media such as saddles or rings or it may be a structured type media. In either case packed tower scrubbers do have a higher pressure drop than the open spray chamber scrubber but may offer even higher acid gas or organic compound removal efficiencies.
