Wet Scrubbers
Wetted packed towers are the simplest and most commonly used approaches to gas scrubbing.
Wet scrubbers remove contaminants from a gas stream by passing the stream through a packed structure.
The contaminant is absorbed into or reacted with the scrubbing liquor.
The packing of the tower is normally a proprietary loose fill random packing designed to encourage dispersion of the liquid flow without tracking while providing maximum contact area for the ‘mass transfer’ interaction.
They can be designed for very high efficiencies with relatively low capital and running costs.
Venturi scrubbing is a most effective technique for the removal of particulates from a gas stream, even down to sub-micron size.
- Brings together scrubbing liquor and gas stream within venturi throat
- Cost effective and efficient scrubbing technique
- Often used in combination unit
Typical Applications
- Dust Control
- Removal of Fine Particulates
- Mist / Aerosol

Full Technical Info
In a fluidised bed scrubber the typical single bed of a packed tower structure is replaced by two or more shallow beds.
- Compact unit size with narrow diameter
- Minimal aggregation of particulates
- Not usually suitable for odour control
Typical Applications
- Dust Control
- Removal of Chemical Fumes
