VENTURI WET SCRUBBER
Overview
INTRODUCTION
Venturi Wet Scrubber
1- Structure and Operating Principles

Design:
Features a narrow section in the middle (Venturi throat) with wider openings at both ends. The absorbent solution is sprayed into the gas stream at the narrowest point.
Operating Principles:
- Exhaust gas is introduced at high velocity through the narrow section of the Venturi tube.
- The absorbent solution is sprayed directly into the high-speed gas stream.
- The intense collision between gas and liquid removes fine particles and pollutants from the gas stream.
Gas Flow Rate:
High, typically designed for treating exhaust gases with high velocities.
Efficiency:
Highly effective at removing fine dust particles and hazardous gases.
Advantages:
- Excellent efficiency in removing fine particles (e.g., PM2.5, PM10).
- Can handle high-velocity and high-concentration polluted gas streams.
- More compact size compared to the Spray Tower.
Disadvantages:
- Consumes more energy due to the need for high gas velocity.
- Higher investment and operating costs.
- Maintenance is more challenging due to the complexity of the design.
Applications:
- Treatment of exhaust gases from heavy industries, such as kilns, power plants, and cement production.
- Highly effective for gases containing ultrafine particles and SOx, NOx pollutants.
