Matthews - Low Energy Wet Scrubber
A low energy wet scrubber is a simple versatile air pollution control device that controls gaseous emissions through contact between the exhaust gases and injected water. Within the scrubber hot flue gases are rapidly cooled by atomised water in-jected at pressure through one or more spray nozzles. Dust particles (particulates) within the gas stream are captured within water droplets and are de-posited in the scrubber re-circulation reservoir. This process also arrests heavy metals and to a degree acids in the form of sulphur and chlorine. Such is the flexibility of wet scrubbing systems, greater removal efficiencies can be achieved by augmenting the scrubber with venture, nozzles and sodium hydroxide neutralisation of the scrubber water.
