Particulate dust scrubbers

Particulate dust scrubbers are devices used to remove solid particulate matter (dust, smoke, soot) from industrial exhaust gases. They use water or other liquids to capture and remove dust particles from the gas stream.

Technical Points:
Mechanism: The scrubber uses water or another liquid to capture dust particles as the gas passes through the scrubber.
Design: Common designs include:
Venturi scrubbers: High-velocity gas passes through a nozzle, causing droplets to collide with and capture particles.
Packed bed scrubbers: Particles are captured as the gas flows through a bed of packing material wet with liquid.
Wet cyclones: Centrifugal force removes dust by spinning the gas and liquid together.
Efficiency: Can achieve high particulate removal efficiency (up to 99%) depending on scrubber type and operating conditions.
Applications: Used in industries like mining, cement, power generation, and metal production.
