In recent years, industries and governments have increased their efforts to reduce air pollution. Wet scrubbers are one of the primary technologies utilized to remove pollutants from industrial flue gases. These devices use a liquid to remove pollutants through absorption, adsorption, or chemisorption. While wet scrubbers have been widely used for decades, recent innovations in their design have resulted in enhanced pollution reduction and improved operational efficiency.
Key Innovations
One of the key innovations in wet scrubber design is the use of advanced materials. Traditional wet scrubbers often used materials such as stainless steel or carbon steel. However, newer scrubbers are incorporating advanced materials such as polymers and composites that offer better resistance to corrosion and erosion. This not only extends the lifespan of the scrubber but also reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
