Gas scrubber
Gas scrubber are cleanings installations in which the gas flow is brought in intensive contact with a fluid which as aim to
gaseous components from the gas to the fluid. Gas scrubber can be applied as emission control technique at various ga
emissions. Gas scrubbing is also called absorption.
At gas scrubbers there therefore talk of a transition of components of the gas phase to the Liquid phase. The degree in w
possible to convert gaseous components to the fluid phase depends on solubility on these components in the fluid. The
concentration at the mist stage which belongs to a certain concentration at the fluid stage depends on the temperature,
temperature of the fluid phase results in a higher balance concentration at the mist stage. Lowering of the temperature h
also a favorable impact on the output. By adding chemicals to the carrier fluid in which absorbed components are conve
can increase. Adding of chemicals that can react with the absorbed gases has a favorable impact on the absorption outp

Beside water (wet scrubbers) also organic fluids are used as an absorption means. In many cases chemicals or micro-or
added to the carrier fluid to put or neutralize the gases which are solved in the fluid (conditioned scrubber). By this conve
concentration in water becomes lower and more of the gasses can solve (according to the law of Henry). In practice gas
from three components: an absorption section for substance exchange, demister and a recirculation tank with pump.

The liquid gas ratio L/G of the gas scrubber is the proportion between the flow of the carrier fluid
and the flow of the gas flow. Concerning the dimensioning and for the appraisal of the functioning
of the gas scrubber it is important know how much fluid by m³ gas is necessary to reach the desired remaining emission
proportion is not only stipulated by required the remaining emission, but also in the concentration of the removable com
gas flow and in - and outgoing liquid flows. L/G proportion in a concrete situation depends therefore on the chosen carri
properties of the to purify gas, the carrier fluid and the removable component and the demands which are made to the re
emission. Gas scrubber can be classified to the flow direction of the gas regarding to the fluid. Thereby it is distinguished
crossflowscrubbers or flowscrubber.
Gas scrubber can be also classified to the implementation of the transmission section, as it happens with or without ded
