DEF

[...] tour cylindrique, remplie d'éléments de garnissage sur lesquels de l'eau, ou quelque autre liquide de lavage, est pulvérisé pendant que le gaz à laver parcourt la tour en sens opposé.

OBS

To scrub veut dire frotter, nettoyer. Ce sont les Français en adoptant ce mot qui lui on donné le sens restreint de nettoyer d'une certaine façon (par lavage, comme décrit ci-dessus). Le Comité estime donc que les mots scrubber, to scrub et scrubbing sont inutiles et peuvent être remplacés par tour de lavage, laver et lavage.
