Wet scrubbers basically refer to air pollution control equipment that are made particularly to remove dust particles and contaminants and gases from industrial exhaust systems. Air pollution is seen as one of the major problems threatening mankind and hence wet scrubbers play a crucial role in controlling air pollution. There is a dearth of any clean environment to thrive in due to the establishment of various industries around the world. The earth has become a ball of dust and toxic elements and gases making life itself very difficult and we have become exposed to diseases and other threats. Also, the wet scrubber has emerged as possibly the greatest remedy to take care of air pollution which is coming from the industrial sector. Wet Scrubbers are considered the most appropriate air pollution control device which are useful for getting rid of the accumulated particulate matter and flue gases both of which are attended to by a single system.
The device works in possibly the easiest manner. Scrubber remove the contaminated gases by introducing a scrubbing liquid which could be water. The dust particles start getting accumulated in the scrubbing liquid and are later washed away thereby leaving behind a clean environment. Scrubbing liquid in is in fact discharged or used only for the cleaning job. The reason for the wet scrubber to be the most popular is that we can avoid any droplets from escaping from the scrubber with the aid of an outlet gas component named entrainment separator. These wet scrubbers are now being designed and manufactured in Chennai and can provide a number of configurations where in one requires to ensure the proper contact between the gases and liquids so that the system can remove the unwanted particle from the air efficiently.
These devices are provided with a variety of systems manufactured specifically to take care of our process applications. The main reason for using wet scrubbers is that typically these come in various sizes and types as per our requirement and application. The wet scrubbers systems used for medium sized industries include a scrubbing vessel, ductwork and fan system, a Mist Eliminator, scrubbing liquid, a pumping system and also an exhaust stack.
The following are the advantages of wet scrubbers when used in industry:
1. Wet Scrubbers are by comparison the best because of their ability to handle both moisture as well as high temperatures.
2. Can also be used in neutralizing corrosive gases and are there you used for the removal of particulate matter or gases effective in the removal of particulate matter or gases.
3. These help in cooling hot gases which help in usage of a smaller size of or system.
4. The best wet scrubber helps in reducing the temperature for the volume of an unsaturated exhaust stream. Hence the fans and ducts used in wet scrubbers are smaller than those used in other control devices.
5. Wet scrubbers reduce the probability of fire or explosion. Because of the existence of water there is a reduced probability of explosions in wet scrubbers.
6. Scrubbers a commonly thought of to be expensive, however wet scrubbers are simple devices and are seen as the least expensive and most reliable device for removal of particulates from a gas stream.
7. Wet air scrubbing is also seen as the most way to cool down high temperature process gases for air treatment.
8. Wet scrubbers are found to be more compact instruments when compared with other industrial tools.
9. Wet scrubbers can also operate on sticky or hygroscopic materials.
