Wet Scrubbers
This type of dust collector uses a scrubbing liquid to sieve out fine dust particles. The liquid is usually water and will come into contact with gas streams that contain dust particles. There is a huge variety when it comes to wet scrubbers but overall there are 4 basic types.
Low Energy Scrubber
A simple, yet effective method. Water dew is formed by spray nozzles and then fall through increasing exhaust gases. Finally, the soiled water is drained at the bottom.
Low-Medium Energy Scrubber
The centrifugal force of the wet cyclone whirls the dust particles and tosses the particulates against the wet collector walls. Water falls from the top of the cyclone against the walls and finally drains the dust away.
High Energy Scrubbers Co-Current-Flow Scrubber
Referred to as a packed bed scrubber. This type of wet scrubber removes chemicals, acids, fumes, soluble gasses and odors. Dirty gases are streamed through a specially designed padded agent that is wet from recirculated liquid. After this the solvent absorbs the air contaminant by chemical or physical means.
High Energy Scrubber
A pressure drop between the back and the front of the scrubber is the result of using turbulence and an absorbent liquid. This creates a motion that thoroughly mixes gas and liquid and as a result, then filters out the dust.
