A wet scrubber is an air treatment device used for cleaning from mechanical impurities. Two main types of air pollution control equipment are used to solve the problems of air treatment from dust and gas emissions of industrial enterprises – dry or wet scrubbers for capturing and removing solid particulate pollutants.

Dry scrubber systems of inertial, gravitational, electrostatic, and acoustic (ultrasonic) types are widely applied in industry, however, in several real production conditions, they significantly lose in efficiency to wet air scrubbers. Indicators of air treatment presented by scrubber systems that retain and dispose of solid particulates by liquids often reach 99.9%.

The benefits of wet air scrubbers include the ability to remove complex dust and gas emissions, operation with hot suspensions, explosive, and fire-hazardous solid substances in the vast majority of industries. The operating principle of all existing wet scrubbers is based on the capture of solid particulate pollutants contained in the dusty air by drops, followed by the removal of the collected sludge. 

The efficiency of scrubber systems depends on the contact method of the solids and liquids, the size, density, wettability, and other parameters of the particles. The most basic wet air scrubbers share a structural resemblance to dry scrubber systems, with the main difference being the addition of irrigation fluid and the extraction of sludge.

Most effective wet scrubbers have a more advanced design that defines specific classes of devices. The advantages of wet air scrubbers include the following features:

• Effectiveness reaches 99% for dust particles measuring 0.5 microns;
• Ability to work in explosive and fire-hazardous environments, as well as in hot dust streams with temperatures up to + 900 degrees Celsius;
• Universality;
• Low pneumohydrodrives, ease of implementation;
• Low capital and operating costs, high price availability of wet air scrubbers even for medium-sized and small companies, fast payback of air treatment systems.

If you are looking for the best air treatment device to improve air quality, Redwood Technology offers a cutting-edge type of wet scrubber – a Multi-Vortex wet air scrubber.

Redwood technology is a fast-growing vendor of wet air scrubbers. The multi-vortex scrubber can remove gas emissions, dust, vapors, and other pollutants from a gas stream. It is an innovative technology created to save water that makes it more cost-efficient and differs from other types of scrubbers.  If you have any questions or would like to purchase a multi-vortex wet air scrubber, please contact us at info@rdwd.tech
