A packed bed wet scrubber is an industrial air pollution control system that treats pollutant-laden gases by introducing them at the bottom of a packed tower. These gases flow upward through a packed column scrubber, while the scrubbing liquid flows downward to absorb or neutralize contaminants. As the gas rises, pollutant concentration reduces with the help of continuously supplied clean scrubbing liquid. A mist eliminator at the top of the tower captures residual droplets before the purified gas exits. The used scrubbing solution is collected in an integrated reservoir and recirculated through the system. For optimal scrubber performance, fresh liquid and reagents are added using a pH-controlled dosing pump. The system can be configured as a vertical or horizontal packed bed scrubber, based on the application and layout. This gas scrubber design ensures high-efficiency pollutant removal in various industrial processes.
Vertical Packed Bed Scrubbers
Vertical packed bed scrubbers feature an upright column where contaminated gas enters at the bottom and moves upward. The scrubbing liquid flows downward through the packing media, allowing efficient gas-liquid contact for effective contaminant removal. These vertical units are ideal for space-constrained industrial environments and manage high gas flow volumes efficiently.
Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubbers
Horizontal packed bed scrubbers have a lateral gas flow through the packing bed, while the scrubbing liquid is evenly distributed across it. These systems are suitable for low-height installations and applications needing multi-stage gas treatment. Horizontal scrubbers are known for flexibility, ease of maintenance, and custom configurations.
