WET SCRUBBERS

Wet scrubbers are PM control devices that rely on direct and irreversible contact of a liquid
(droplets, foam, or bubbles) with the PM. The liquid with the collected PM is then easily collected.
Scrubbers can be very specialized and designed in many different configurations. Wet scrubbers are
generally classified by the method that is used to induce contact between the liquid and the PM, e.g.
spray, packed-bed, plate. Scrubbers are also often described as low-, medium-, or high-energy,
where energy is often expressed as the pressure drop across the scrubber. This section addresses the
basic operating principles, designs, collection efficiency, applicability, and costs of wet scrubbers.
Wet scrubbers have important advantages when compared to other PM collection devices.
They can collect flammable and explosive dusts safely, absorb gaseous pollutants, and collect mists.
Scrubbers can also cool hot gas streams. There are also some disadvantages associated with wet
scrubbers. For example, scrubbers have the potential for corrosion and freezing. Additionally, the use
of wet scrubbers can lead to water and solid waste pollution problems. These disadvantages can be
minimized or avoided with good scrubber design.
