18.1 Device Type
Vane type scrubbers are wet scrubbers that use one or more stationary vanes through which or within which the contaminant gas streams mix with scrubbing liquid. There are many innovative designs within this category. They are used to remove particulate in the 5 μm and larger size range and provide moderate gas absorption capability. These scrubbers are low- to medium-energy input devices and find themselves in use where the particulate loading is under 4–5 grs/dscf (grains per dry standard cubic foot) and the particle size is 10 μm or above.
There are several interesting and efficient vane type scrubbers currently being provided by vendors worldwide.
