Ejector Venturi Scrubbers - The Apollo Series™ by Advanced Air Technologies, Inc.
Venturi Scrubbers - Gas and Particle Removal Efficiency in Action
Our Ejector Venturi Solution – The Apollo Series
Packed Tower Venturi Scrubbers
The Apollo Series™ is an efficient and compact packed tower venturi scrubber system for the capture and destruction of acid gases or other compounds. The ejector / venturi design creates suction at the inlet eliminating the need for a blower. The unit's small footprint makes it ideal for point of source applications or where space is limited. The Apollo Series™ venturi scrubbers can be operated in a batch process or completely automated with a full array of control options to meet your specific needs. Applications include chemical storage tanks, refilling operations, reactor vents, chemical vapor deposition systems, cylinder gas vents, industrial processing and many more.

How Venturi Scrubbers Operate:
 A venturi scrubber is designed to effectively use the energy from the inlet gas stream to atomize the liquid being used to scrub the gas stream. This scrubber is part of the group of air pollution control systems known as wet scrubbers. Apollo series air scrubbers effectively use the venturi configuration to remove particles from gas streams.
Venturi scrubbers consist of three sections: a converging section, a throat section, and a diverging section. The inlet gas stream enters the converging section and, as the area decreases, gas velocity increases. Liquid is introduced at the entrance to the converging section. The inlet gas, which is forced to move at extremely high velocities in the small throat section, shears the liquid from its walls, producing an tremendous number of very tiny droplets. In the throat section, particle and gas pollutant removal occurs as the inlet gas stream mixes with the fog of tiny liquid droplets. The inlet stream then exits through the diverging section, where it is forced to slow down. Venturi scrubbers can be used to collect both particulate and gas pollutants.
Venturi scrubbers can have the highest particle collection efficiencies of any wet scrubbing system, particularily for very small particles. They are used widely because their open construction helps to remove most particles without plugging or scaling. Venturi scrubbers have been designed to collect particles at very high collection efficiencies, sometimes exceeding 99%. The ability of venturis to handle large gas inlet volumes at high temperatures makes applicable to many industries. |
