Acid scrubber technology is one of the methods for air pollution control with the aim of dust control and reducing air pollution caused by various industries. Acid scrubbers utilize wet scrubbers as a method to address and eliminate contaminated gas emissions released into the environment. Acid scrubbers are majorly applied in manure processing, natural degeneration,...

Wet Air Scrubbers: Benefits and Common Challenges
What is the most affordable way to eliminate the particulate to a permissible emission standard? Wet scrubbing usually provides high removal efficiencies as the dust particles are captured in the water droplets. When this happens, the particle size increases making it easier to remove the dust. A smaller dust particle would be surrounded by a...
Wet Air Scrubbers: A Comprehensive Overview
The main task of any type of scrubber is removing unwanted gases and particulate matter from industrial smokestacks before they enter the atmosphere. The two main types are wet scrubbers and dry scrubbers. These scrubbers can reduce up to 90% of emissions that contribute to smog and acid rain. Wet scrubbers are efficient devices for...
Wet Air Scrubber Options for Effective Particulate Removal
Combustible dust explosions must be eliminated as quickly and effectively as possible in any processing facility. All combustible solid materials may entail a deflagration or explosion hazard in manufacturing and reduction processes of separation into fine particulates. Dust and other similar substances that contain organic materials and different types of metals are explosive. To minimize...
Venturi Scrubbers: An Advanced Solution for Dust Control
Wet air scrubbers continue to be the primary method for capturing and collecting particulates. Venturi scrubbers successfully remove particulates from exhaust gases. This type of dust control technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as “wet scrubbers”. Venturi scrubbers are also known as Venturi jet scrubbers, gas-atomizing spray scrubbers,...
Wet Air Scrubber Systems: Opportunities in Global Trade
The global market for wet scrubbers is iexpected to experience steady growth in the coming years. The implementation of stringent regulations across various sectors regarding harmful chemicals and emissions results in the growing necessity of wet scrubbers for lowering pollution levels. Monitoring agencies such as the Central Pollution Control Board, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),...
Wet Air Scrubbers vs. Alternative Industrial Scrubbers
Industrial air scrubbers are pollution filtration systems that use solids or liquids to remove gaseous pollutants from a waste stream. Scrubber is used to filter out harmful and corrosive chemicals from a gas exhaust stream. There are three basic types of industrial scrubbers: A wet industrial gas scrubber is among the most versatile and user-friendly of...
Scrubbers and Sustainability: Their Global Environmental Impact
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continually works to include additional chemicals in the “Prevention of accidental releases” initiative that addresses the release of highly dangerous air pollutants. All companies that produce, use, or handle more than the threshold quantities with at least one of these substances must have an approved release prevention and control program....
Wet Air Scrubbers: Benefits and Applications
The issue of dust emissions from sugar factories is not as severe as it was ten years ago. One of the main reasons for such positive changes is the increased use of wet air scrubbers for removing dust from boiler flue gas. A wet air scrubber offers numerous benefits. A significant and highly advantageous benefit...
Wet Air Scrubbers for Exhaust Gas Treatment
Wet air scrubbing is a simple and effective way of exhausting air or gas cleaning and removal of toxic or smelling compounds. In wet air scrubbers, the exhaust gas gets in close contact with fine water droplets or a water mist in a co-current or countercurrent flow. The wet air scrubbing methods are more effective...
