Information required for the selection and performance evaluation of wet scrubbers

Abstract

The term “wet scrubber” or simply “scrubber, ” for the purpose of this report, is intended to include any device using liquid to effect the removal of solid or liquid particles which are entrained in process air or gas streams. This guide is intended to provide information required for the selection and performance evaluation of all types of scrubbers installed for the primary purpose of removing such particulates from any process gas stream. It is not intended to cover scrubbers for the collection of gaseous and/or vapor constituents which involve gas absorption mechanisms. © 1972 Air & Waste Management Association.
