Pollution Systems - Multi-Vane Particulate Scrubber for Industrial Gas Treatment
The Multi-Vane Particulate Scrubber (MVS) from Pollution Systems is engineered to effectively treat industrial gas streams, particularly those with high moisture content and elevated temperatures. Featuring a design with multiple throats, it enhances the scrubbing process by creating a fine mist of water that effectively captures particulates. As high-velocity, particle-laden air enters the scrubber, it interacts with scrubbing fluid to form a mist cloud which undergoes cyclonic action. This process allows for the separation of particulates, with the resultant clean air being expelled through a system fan. The MVS operates with a minimal number of moving components, namely a fan and a recirculating pump, leading to higher reliability and reduced energy consumption. The system's inherent self-cleaning capability and the automated controls make it a low-maintenance air pollution control solution. Capable of removing particulates, such as PM2.5, from exhaust streams at or above 99% efficiency, it is suitable for applications involving sticky or moisture-laden particulates.MVS Scrubbers can successfully treat industrial gas streams with moisture content and high temperatures by using multiple throats in the scrubber design.
High-velocity, dirty particle-laden air enters the scrubber’s multi-vane chamber as recycled scrubbing fluid injects from the sump. The impact of the air with water forms a fine mist cloud of water with entrained particulate. The mist cloud exits the chamber and is subjected to intense cyclonic action downstream. The dirty droplets separate from the particle-free airstream due to cyclonic motion, agglomeration, and gravity. The droplets gather near the scrubber walls and then pull into the integral sump due to gravity, where a portion discharges while the rest is recycled. A system fan pulls the clean air out through the stack.
The illustration shown represents a typical Multi-Vane Scrubber system.

Pollution Systems’ MVS Scrubbers are guaranteed to meet removal requirements with lower energy and higher reliability than many other air pollution control options as there are few moving parts – a fan and a recirculating pump. The high water/air velocities and cyclonic action within the scrubbers resist fouling, making these systems inherently self-cleaning and easy to maintain. Our automated controls package allows the MVS to start up and operate with minimal operator interaction. Pollution Systems’ MVS system can remove particulate (such as PM2.5) at your permitted levels or above 99% from the entire flow of a collection system.
Pollution Systems’ Multi-Vane Scrubbers maintain consistent, high on-stream performance and are ideal for exhaust streams that contain moisture or sticky particulate. More common industrial applications of MVS Scrubbers include:
- Food Processing
- Construction Materials Manufacturing
- Ceramics
- Printing and Engraving
- Military-Munitions
- Product Testing
- Mining/Mineral Processing
- Smoke Removal Applications
