Wet Scrubber Particulate Collection

Abstract

Activities involving powders can result in the generation of airborne particulate material, aerosols, which may need to be controlled because of concern about health, because of laws and regulations, or because of an economic incentive for process material recovery. The principal alternatives for fine particle control are cyclones, filters, scrubbers, and electrostatic precipitators. Alternatives are generally compared with respect to effectiveness and cost.
