Gas conditioning tower for industrial gas cooling
In industrial settings, managing the temperature and volume of flue gases before they enter a filtration system poses significant challenges. The need for effective temperature control, gas volume reduction, and humidification is critical to achieve regulatory compliance and optimize filtration efficiency.
Control gas temperature and volume with precision
The Gas Conditioning Tower (GCT) from GEA provides a comprehensive solution for cooling gases upstream of electrostatic precipitators or bag filters. Offering both hydraulic and twin-fluid atomization technologies, GCTs ensure efficient evaporation of water, reducing gas volume and controlling temperature with precision. Hydraulic atomization, utilizing larger droplet sizes and single fluid, spillback nozzles, lowers energy consumption but requires a larger casing design. Alternatively, twin-fluid technology employing compressed air or steam creates smaller droplet sizes, allowing compact casing designs and the utilization of wastewater for Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD). The casing is structurally designed to withstand full under pressure of ID fans, with adequate gas distribution supported by deflection, guide, and perforated sheets in the inlet area. Additionally, a reversible paddle screw and motor-driven double pendulum flaps on both sides manage dust transport from the housing. GEA’s GCT is suitable for various sectors, including chemical, food, and energy industries.
