Venturi scrubber system for dust control

Understanding the Venturi Scrubber System for Dust Control

A venturi scrubber system for dust control helps industries manage particulate emissions where conventional dry filters may not work effectively. It captures fine dust and aerosols from exhaust gases by using liquid scrubbing action. This technology is well suited for processes involving sticky or moist particles, and it supports compliance with air quality standards while maintaining consistent operation.

Working Principle of the Venturi Scrubber

In a venturi scrubber, gas enters the venturi throat at high velocity. The scrubbing liquid is injected into this stream, forming fine droplets. Dust particles collide with these droplets and become trapped. The heavier mixture then passes into a separator where liquid and solids are removed from the gas. This process ensures efficient collection of sub-micron dust and soluble gases.
