spray tower scrubber
spray tower scrubber
A spray tower scrubber removes pollutants from gas streams by spraying scrubbing liquid (water or chemicals) into the gas flow.
Technical Points:
Mechanism: Gas is sprayed with liquid droplets to absorb or neutralize pollutants.
Design: Vertical gas flow with top-down liquid spray.
Efficiency: Effective for gases and aerosols but less so for fine particulates.
Applications: Used in chemical plants, wastewater treatment, and power generation.
A spray tower scrubber is an air pollution control device that removes pollutants from gas streams by spraying a scrubbing liquid (typically water or an alkaline solution) into the gas flow. The liquid droplets capture contaminants through absorption or neutralization.
Technical Points:
Mechanism: Gas enters the tower and is sprayed with liquid, where pollutants are absorbed or chemically reacted.
Design: The gas flows vertically through the tower while the scrubbing liquid is sprayed from the top.
Efficiency: Effective for removing gases, aerosols, and particulate matter, but less efficient than packed bed scrubbers for fine particulates.
Applications: Used in industries such as chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and power plants.
