Macrotek - Vertical Packed Bed Scrubber
The Macrotek Packed Bed Scrubber is an air pullution control sollution that utilizes a vertical counter-current design for high efficient absorption of gases. In the vertical counter-current scrubber design, gas flows upward while scrubbing liquid flows down through banks of sprays. The absorption of gases takes place in the packed tower scrubber`s random packing section and scrubbing liquid is introduced in a liquid trough or spray distribution system. A high efficiency mist eliminator removes entrained liquids, an essential step in performance of the packed bed scrubber system. Depending on the application, a regulated amount of reagent is added to the recirculating liquid to react with the pollutant. The reaction product will be carried with other particulates in the re-circulating liquid and exits the system through a controlled blow-down stream. Clean gas exits the top of the vessel.
- In addition to extensive uses in air pollution control, the packed tower can serve as a gas and liquid contactor for many process applications and heat transfers
