VENTURI AND CYCLONIC SCRUBBERS

Wet Scrubbers for Particulate Control

Venturi scrubbers use high-energy impaction of liquid droplets to remove particulate from contaminated air streams. Water or other liquors are directed towards a constriction, or “throat,” where the atomized liquid scrubs the particulate from the air and transfers it to the scrubber liquid droplets. This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls referred to as wet scrubbers.

The amount of particulate removed from the air stream, or “control efficiency,” is based on several design elements, including pressure drop and contact time.
