Linear flow scrubber for dust and particulate removal
Optimize your emission control with a high-efficiency solution that adjusts to fluctuating gas flow rates, ensuring steady performance and significant energy savings in demanding pyrometallurgical environments.
Efficiently Scrubs and Cleans Waste Gases
The Linear Flow Scrubber from GEA represents a significant advancement in emission control for non-ferrous metallurgical processes. It stands out with its variable adjustment scrubbing zone, external drives, and CFD-optimized nozzle arrangement, ensuring high scrubbing efficiency through consistent gas pressure control. Ideal for applications like copper, zinc, and lead smelting, this equipment efficiently cleans and conditions waste gases to produce copper cathodes and zinc ingots. Its robust design handles fluctuating gas flow rates with energy savings, maintaining efficiency across a 1:100 volume flow range at constant pressure drop. The compact design allows multiple scrubbing stages within a single vessel. For ease of operation, it features an automatic system with continuous operation capabilities, complemented by potential upstream quench stages for integration when dealing with hot gases. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, it requires minimal maintenance, offering long-term reliability in harsh production environments.
