Comparing Wet Scrubber and Dry Scrubber Technologies for Air Quality Improvement

Wet Scrubber Technology

Advantages:

  • Highly effective at removing a wide range of pollutants
  • Can handle high temperatures and high dust loads
  • Can be used in a variety of industrial processes

Disadvantages:

  • Consumes water and produces a liquid waste stream
  • Requires more maintenance and operational costs

Dry Scrubber Technology

Advantages:

  • Does not produce a liquid waste stream
  • Can be more cost-effective and require less maintenance
  • Can handle high temperatures and high flow rates

Disadvantages:

  • Limited in its ability to remove certain pollutants
  • Can be less effective at removing fine particulate matter
