Evaluating the performance of a turbulent wet scrubber for scrubbing particulate matter

A turbulent wet scrubber was designed and developed to scrub particulate matter (PM) at micrometer and submicrometer levels from the effluent gas stream of an industrial coal furnace. Experiments were conducted to estimate the particle removal efficiency of the turbulent scrubber with different gas flow rates and liquid heads above the nozzle. Particles larger than 1 µm were removed very efficiently, at nearly 100%, depending upon the flow rate, the concentration of the dust-laden air stream, and the water level in the reservoir. Particles smaller than 1 µm were also removed to a greater extent at higher gas flow rates and for greater liquid heads. Pressure-drop studies were also carried out to estimate the energy consumed by the scrubber for the entire range of particle sizes distributed in the carrier gas. A maximum pressure drop of 217 mm H₂O was observed for a liquid head of 36 cm and a gas flow rate of 7 m³/min. The number of transfer units (NTU) analysis for the efficiencies achieved by the turbulent scrubber over the range of particles also reveals that the contacting power achieved by the scrubber is better except for smaller particles. The turbulent scrubber is more competent for scrubbing particulate matter, in particular PM_2.5, than other higher energy or conventional scrubbers, and is comparable to other wet scrubbers of its kind for the amount of energy spent.

Implications: The evaluation of the turbulent scrubber is done to add a novel scrubber in the list of wet scrubbers for industrial applications, yet simple in design, easy to operate, with better compactness, and with high efficiencies at lower energy consumption. Hence the turbulent scrubber can be used to combat particulate from industrial gaseous effluents and also has a scope to absorb gaseous pollutants if the gases are soluble in the medium used for particles capture.     

Theoretical study of liquid droplet dispersion in a venturi scrubber

The droplet concentration distribution in an atomizing scrubber was calculated based on droplet eddy diffusion by a three-dimensional dispersion model. This model is also capable of predicting the liquid flowing on the wall. The theoretical distribution of droplet concentration agrees well with experimental data given by Viswanathan et al. for droplet concentration distribution in a venturi-type scrubber. The results obtained by the model show a non-uniform distribution of drops over the cross section of the scrubber, as noted by the experimental data. While the maximum of droplet concentration distribution may depend on many operating parameters of the scrubber, the results of this study show that the highest uniformity of drop distribution will be reached when penetration length is approximately equal to one-fourth of the depth of the scrubber. The results of this study can be applied to evaluate the removal efficiency of a venturi scrubber.     

Performance of Gas-Atomized Spray Scrubbers at High Pressure

A large number of pressurized coal gasification processes being developed propose to use venturi scrubbers for particulate removal at high pressures. Theoretical predictions based on venturi scrubber performance models indicate that particle collection efficiency will decrease severely in these high gas pressure applications.

An exploratory theoretical and experimental program was performed to study the effect of gas pressure on venturi scrubber performance. Experiments were done on a 0.47 m³/s (1000 acfm) pilot scale venturi scrubber. Particle collection performance was determined as a function of scrubber pressure drop for venturi scrubbers operating In the range of 1-10 atm total pressure. Experimental results confirmed that the particle collection efficiency of venturi scrubbers decreases for a given scrubber pressure drop as total gas pressure Is increased. To achieve the same particle collection efficiency, the pressure drop across a venturi scrubber operated at 10 atm Is about 10 times that of the same scrubber operated at 1 atm pressure.     

Liquid Entrainment from a Mobile Bed Scrubber

Liquid entrainment rate and drop size distribution were measured in the exhaust gas stream from a mobile bed scrubber. The pilot plant scrubber was 46 cm (18 in.) square and was packed with 3.8 cm (1.5 In.) diameter hollow polyethylene spheres to a static depth of 25 cm (10 in.). Entrainment flow rate depends on both gas and liquid rates. At a liquid/gas ratio of 6.7 l/m³ (50 gal/Mcf) and a superficial gas velocity of 2.6 m/sec (8.5 ft/sec) the entrainment flow rate was 0.0064 l/m³ (0.05 gal/Mcf) and at 3.75 m/sec (12.3 ft/sec) it was 0.031 l/m³ (0.23 gal/Mcf). The mass median drop diameter was about 400 nm at a liquid/gas ratio of 6.7 l/m³. The drop size distribution appears to be bimodal. Dye impregnated paper and cascade impactor techniques were used to measure drop size.     

An efficient venturi scrubber system to remove submicron particles in exhaust gas

An efficient venturi scrubber system making use of heterogeneous nucleation and condensational growth of particles was designed and tested to remove fine particles from the exhaust of a local scrubber where residual SiH4 gas was abated and lots of fine SiO2 particles were generated. In front of the venturi scrubber, normal-temperature fine-water mist mixes with high-temperature exhaust gas to cool it to the saturation temperature, allowing submicron particles to grow into micron sizes. The grown particles are then scrubbed efficiently in the venturi scrubber. Test results show that the present venturi scrubber system is effective for removing submicron particles. For SiO2 particles greater than 0.1microm, the removal efficiency is greater than 80-90%, depending on particle concentration. The corresponding pressure drop is relatively low. For example, the pressure drop of the venturi scrubber is approximately 15.4 +/- 2.4 cm H2O when the liquid-to-gas ratio is 1.50 L/m3. A theoretical calculation has been conducted to simulate particle growth process and the removal efficiency of the venturi scrubber. The theoretical results agree with the experimental data reasonably well when SiO2 particle diameter is greater than 0.1 microm.     

Spray Charging and Trapping Scrubber for Fugitive Particle Emission Control

The control of fugitive process emissions (FPE) with Spray Charging and Trapping (SCAT) scrubber was evaluated both theoretically and experimentally. The SCAT uses air curtain and/or jets to contain, convey, and divert the FPE into a charged spray scrubber.

Experiments were performed on an 8000 cfm bench-scale spray scrubber to verify the theory and feasibility of collecting fugitive particles with charged water spray. The effects of charge levels on drops and particles, nozzle type, drop size, gas velocity, and liquid/gas ratio on collection efficiency were determined experimentally. The results of the experiments and the comparison between theory and data are presented.

An air curtain was developed for conveying the FPE to the spray scrubber, deflecting the crosswind, and containing hot buoyant plume. The design and air flow field for the air curtain are presented.     

Prediction of pressure drop in an orifice scrubber based on a Lagrangian approach

A mathematical model has been developed to predict pressure drop in an orifice scrubber. This model is based on a Lagrangian approach for droplet movement and a particle-source-in-cell (PSI-CELL) model for calculating droplet concentration distribution. The k-epsilon turbulent model including body force due to the drag force between fluid and droplets was used to evaluate the fluid velocity distribution. The effect of orifice size on pressure drop and the correlations for mean droplet diameter have been studied. The results from the model have been compared with experimental data. This comparison shows excellent agreement between the calculated results and the experimental data.

For SiO₂ particles greater than 0.1 μm, the removal efficiency is greater than 80–90%, depending on particle concentration. The corresponding pressure drop is relatively low. For example, the pressure drop of the venturi scrubber is ～15.4 ± 2.4 cm H₂O when the liquid-to-gas ratio is 1.50 L/m³. A theoretical calculation has been conducted to simulate particle growth process and the removal efficiency of the venturi scrubber. The theoretical results agree with the experimental data reasonably well when SiO₂ particle diameter is greater than 0.1 μm.

Mercury Emissions from a Hazardous Waste Incinerator Equipped with a State-of-the-Art Wet Scrubber

Abstract

Over a six-week period, eleven tests were performed at the U.S. EPA Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas to evaluate the fate of trace metals fed to a rotary kiln incinerator equipped with a Calvert Flux-Forcer/Condensation Scrubber pilot plant as the primary air pollution control system (APCS). Test variables were kiln temperature, ranging from 538 °C to 927 °C; waste feed chlorine content, ranging from 0% to 3.4%; and scrubber pressure drop, ranging from 8.2 kPa to 16.9 kPa. Mercury was among the six hazardous constituent trace metals fed to the IRF’s pilotscale rotary kiln incineration system as part of a synthetic waste feed. This paper focuses on the test results solely with respect to mercury.

As expected, mercury behaved as a very volatile metal throughout the tests; it was not detected in any kiln ash samples. Scrubber collection efficiency for mercury ranged from 67% to >99%, averaging 87%; this was somewhat lower than expected and may be attributable to low scrubber loadings.

The ability to collect and analyze representative scrubber water samples appears to have been affected by the waste feed chlorine content; detection of mercury at higher concentrations during high waste-chlorine-content tests is thought to be largely the result of the formation of mercuric chloride, a more water-soluble species, during those tests. As a result, no firm conclusions may be drawn regarding the true impact of waste feed chlorine content on mercury partitioning to the scrubber water. As expected, no significant relationship was observed between kiln exit-gas temperature and mercury partitioning, nor was there a significant relationship with scrubber pressure drop.
