Jet scrubber for industrial gas cleaning
In processes like the chemical industry, controlling harmful gas emissions is crucial for both safety and regulatory compliance. Effective removal and cooling of harmful gases, including chlorine and ammonia, are essential to prevent environmental contamination and protect worker health.
Efficient particle and gas pollutant removal
The Jet Scrubber from GEA is designed for versatile applications such as gas cooling, particle separation, and chemical absorption. It operates on the injection principle, circulating scrubbing liquid as a motive medium to induce gas flow through the scrubber pipe without causing pressure loss. With a high separation efficiency of over 98% for particles larger than 3 µm, it also efficiently absorbs pollutants via chemical interaction. Capable of handling gas volumes of up to 200,000 m³/h, the scrubber also scales down to lesser flow rates as low as 5 m³/h. Applications include cleaning of lime furnace gases in the sugar industry, and flare gas in the petro-chemical industry. Its robust construction allows it to be utilized as emergency scrubbers for chlorine, HF, or ammonia and as mobile systems for firefighting or HazOp departments. Its auto-suction capability, minimal maintenance requirements, and resistance to fouling offer practical advantages for continuous operation in various industries.
