Pollution Control

Before they are released into the atmosphere, industrial exhaust gases are
cleaned by scrubbers, which are air pollution control systems.
The most common kind of scrubbers are known as wet scrubbers, and they
function by spraying a liquid solution over the exhaust gas stream, which
subsequently traps and removes the pollutants from the gas.

Scrubbers are utilised in many different industries, including as metal processing,
chemical manufacture, and power generating etc.. They can aid in lowering
emissions of pollutants including particulate matter and sulfur dioxide, which can
both contribute to acid rain and cause respiratory issues.
Sulfur dioxide is a hazardous gas produced by the combustion of fossil fuels such as coal and oil,
and it contributes to acid rain and other environmental issues.
The FGD process involves spraying a liquid solution, usually a mixture of water and limestone or
lime, into the flue gas stream.
The solution reacts with the sulfur dioxide in the gas stream, forming a solid compound that
can be collected and disposed of.
The FGD equipment typically consists of a scrubbing tower or vessel, a recirculation system for the
liquid solution, and a solid handling system for the by-products.

Advantages:
• Packed Tower Gas Scrubbers are effective
at removing a wide range of pollutants,
including particulate matter, acid gases, and
organic compounds.
A high voltage electrode is used to charge the pollutants in the gas stream, which attracts them to
the liquid medium.
In an ESP chamber, contaminated air is drawn in and ionised by electron emitting electrodes.
The electron field charges the suspended particles, which then move to a collection plate.
Rapping or beating the collection plates with rappers periodically removes accumulated particle
matter from the plates.
Heavy particles fall to the ESP's base where they are collected in hoppers for disposal.
Advantages:
• WET ESPs are effective at removing a wide

range of pollutants, including fine particulate
matter and acid gases. They are also
relatively easy to operate and maintain.
