The Turbotak Scrubber : TurboSonic' s proprietary spray nozzle systems are used to finely atomize scrubbing liquids into literally trillions of droplets. These droplets are the vehicle for removal of solid, liquid and gaseous contaminants from process exhaust gas streams. This approach is dramatically more efficient than "conventional" packed tower and venturi scrubbers. 3, record 3, English, - scrubbing%20liquid
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
A packed tower scrubber removes soluble and noxious gases, and mists with droplet sizes greater than 5 µm, from gas streams. Contaminant gases, such as hydrochloric acid, sulphur dioxide and ammonia vapour, are made to flow through a bed packed with media. The media can be plastic, ceramic or stainless steel rings or saddles, designed to provide a high surface area yet allow a high throughput. A scrubbing liquor is pumped through the bed, intimately mixes with the gas stream and dissolves the contaminant gases. 2, record 3, English, - scrubbing%20liquid

Basé sur le principe de fonctionnement de l'éjecteur à jet de liquide, les laveurs de gaz sont un moyen économique de résoudre les problèmes de nocivité des gaz d'échappement en les lavant, les purifiant, les neutralisant, éliminant dans leur quasi-totalité les fumées et les odeurs polluantes. Dans certains cas où les gaz sont à une température trop importante, le liquide de lavage peut servir à les refroidir. Pour l'épuration des gaz odorants, le liquide de lavage doit comporter une solution chimique capable d'interagir avec le gaz traité. 1, record 3, French, - liquide%20de%20lavage

L'absorbeur Turbotak : Les systèmes exclusifs de becs pulvérisateurs de la société TurboSonic sont utilisés pour pulvériser finement les liquides absorbeurs en une multitude de petites gouttelettes. Ces gouttelettes permettent de retirer les polluants solides, liquides et gazeux des jets de gaz d'échappement produits par différents procédés. Cette méthode, qui fait usage de jets pulvérisés, est beaucoup plus efficace que les absorbeurs conventionnels à tours à garnissage et les absorbeurs venturi. 2, record 3, French, - liquide%20de%20lavage

Andersen 2000 Inc and Montair Andersen bv have been responsible for many of today's standards in the area of scrubber technology. Not only do we manufacture complete packaged scrubbing systems for all types of industrial applications, we also design and manufacture scrubbers for applications including fine particulate removal, gas absorption, and dust and large particulate matter collection.... Some of the scrubber technologies available from Andersen are Venturi Scrubbers, Packed Bed Scrubbers, Ejector Scrubbers, Triven Scrubbers, and Low Energy Scrubbers. These systems all use liquid as part of the scrubbing process. And as a result, they are referred to as "Wet Scrubbers".... We also offer "Dry Scrubbers" including Dry Injection Type and the Spray Dry Absorption Type. These use a dry alkaline powder to absorb acid gases and a fabric filter Baghouse to collect particulate matter. 2, record 4, English, - dry%20scrubber

Bennett Remtech utilizes a dry scrubber to remove acid gases. Flue gas is quenched to approach the acid dewpoint temperature. The gas then comes into contact with a reagent such as lime. The acid gases are removed, without any required water treatment. 3, record 4, English, - dry%20scrubber

Bennett Remtech utilise un épurateur à sec pour éliminer les gaz acides. Les gaz de carneau sont refroidis à une température qui se situe près du point de rosée de l'acide. Le gaz vient ensuite en contact avec un réactif comme la chaux. Les gaz acides sont ainsi éliminés, sans la nécessité d'une épuration de l'eau. 1, record 4, French, - %C3%A9purateur%20%C3%A0%20sec
