Flow Analysis of Venturi Scrubber

Case Study Highlights

Client Profile:
Process Equipment Manufacturer, USA
Objective:
To analyze the liquid and gas flow behavior in
venture scrubber.
Challenges:
=
Developing simulation domain to capture the

flow behavior within the specified domain

=
Applying suitable boundary conditions and

turbulence models to ensure result accuracy

Solution:
The flow inside the venture scrubber was
successfully simulated considering the boundary
conditions and appropriate turbulence model.
Different velocity streamlines from gas and liquid
flows provided insights on scrubbing process inside
the venture scrubber, assisting the client in design
optimization.
Software Used : ANSYS Fluent 14

Venturi scrubber utilizes high velocity liquid spray to

absorb solid particles and filter the gas stream
effectively. It is crucial for the scrubber to ensure that
the liquid spray comprehensively comes in contact
with the gas flow, in order to efficiently filter the solid
particles.
A leading process equipment manufacturer from US
utilized our simulation capabilities to perform design
optimization of the venture scrubber for effective
filtration of the gas.

The Solution
The venturi gas scrubber was successfully simulated
through CFD tools and insightful results were obtained.
The liquid flow through the nozzle as well as the gas
flow through the inlet was modeled adopting suitable
turbulence model.
The velocity streamlines for both the flows showed that
there is sufficient contact period of the liquid spray with
the gas, ensuring the efficiency of the design. The exit
spray angle for the nozzle was also measured to
identify its reach in the designed chamber.This solution
can also be provided using OpenFOAM, STAR CCM+,
Abaqus CFD, COMSOL Multiphysics.

Benefits
=
Significant reduction in prototyping trials required

to perform design optimization

=
Reduction is time and cost involved in performing

physical tests
