Horizontal-Packed-bed scrubbers

Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubbers are advanced systems designed for effective gas purification. In this horizontal configuration, gases flow laterally while the scrubbing liquid is distributed downward through a system of nozzles. The scrubber employs a random packing section to enhance the absorption of pollutants and features a high-efficiency mist eliminator to remove entrained liquids. With an integral sump at the base of the packing section, the need for an external tank is eliminated, making the design compact and efficient.

Working Principle

Wet scrubbers operate by using liquids to absorb and remove pollutants from gas streams. As the gas flows through the scrubber, pollutants are absorbed into the scrubbing liquid, with water being the most common absorbent. The process is highly effective for controlling gaseous pollutants, even at dilute concentrations, particularly when the gas is highly soluble. Packing materials and spray systems maximize the gas-liquid contact, ensuring efficient absorption and mass transfer. These systems are robust but can face challenges like nozzle clogging or scaling, which can be mitigated through proper maintenance.

Features and Design

Key Features

Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubbers are engineered to handle airflow capacities ranging from 100 to 30,000 CFM, providing efficient removal of gaseous pollutants through absorption or chemisorption. Built using durable materials like PP, FRP, SS 304, and SS 316, these systems incorporate high-performance Tellerette® Tower Packing, capable of removing contaminants as small as 7 microns. Multi-bed designs ensure flexibility in handling diverse pollutants, achieving efficiency levels of up to 99%.

Advanced Accessories

To maintain optimal performance, these scrubbers can be equipped with additional features like continuous pH monitoring and automated dosing systems to regulate scrubbing liquid quality. For seamless operation, advanced PLC and SCADA control systems are available, offering real-time monitoring and control to improve efficiency and reliability.

Design Considerations

Designing a Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber requires careful assessment of exhaust gas flow rates, pollutant concentrations, and solubility levels. The Liquid-to-Gas (L/G) ratio, along with packing material specifications such as size, shape, and depth, plays a crucial role in ensuring effective pollutant removal. Proper design ensures compatibility with specific industrial requirements while maximizing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber?
A Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber is a system designed to remove gaseous pollutants from exhaust streams by passing the gas through a bed of packing material, where the pollutants are absorbed into a scrubbing liquid.
The scrubbing process works by introducing exhaust gas into the scrubber, where it comes into contact with a scrubbing liquid (usually water or a chemical solution). The pollutants are absorbed into the liquid, and the cleaned gas is then released.
These scrubbers provide efficient pollutant removal with up to 99% efficiency. They are compact, cost-effective, and capable of handling high airflow rates, making them suitable for various industrial applications.
The scrubbers are typically made from durable materials such as PP, FRP, SS 304, SS 316, which ensure long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
What pollutants can be removed by a Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubber?
These scrubbers can effectively remove a range of gaseous pollutants including sulfur dioxide (SO₂), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), chlorine (Cl₂), ammonia (NH₃), methanol vapors,and more.
Horizontal Packed Bed Scrubbers are designed to handle airflow capacities ranging from 100 to 30,000 CFM, allowing them to be customized for different industrial applications.
Regular maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance, including cleaning the packing material, checking for clogging in spray nozzles, and monitoring the pH of the scrubbing liquid. Routine inspections will help prevent issues like scaling or bed plugging.
