Venturi scrubber for fine particulate and aerosol separation
Achieve high separation efficiency of fine dust and aerosols with a Venturi scrubber that adapts to fluctuating gas streams, ensuring steady operation and minimal maintenance, while meeting stringent emission regulations.
Separates Particulates and Aerosols in Gas Streams
The Venturi Scrubber from GEA expertly combines efficiency and versatility to address emission control challenges in the chemical, iron, steel, and non-ferrous industries. Utilizing the Venturi effect, it efficiently separates fine particulates and aerosols from gas streams, adapting to variable flow rates in continuous operations. Predominantly applied for gas cooling, quenching, and conditioning, the scrubber ensures compliance with demanding emission limits while handling gas volumes up to 300,000 m³/h. Integration into existing production lines is seamless, supported by customizable nozzle arrangements and material options, including options for enhanced chemical and thermal resistance. Maintenance is minimal due to its robust design, enhancing reliability even under fluctuating gas conditions.
