The Chemical Tanks is a highly effective
contacting device for applications requiring a low gas-to-liquid ratio. The design
consists of a number of perforated trays in a vertical cylindrical tower. Liquid flows
horizontally across the trays while gas flows up through the perforated tray at high
velocity creating a frothing effect where the gas absorption takes place. The liquid then
flows through downcomer pipes to the lower trays. The number of trays can vary depending
on the application and efficiency required. Sieve trays are best suited for absorption of
highly soluble but volatile compounds such as alcohols and other soluble organics as well
as some acid gases. This type of configuration minimizes water usage while achieving
maximum contaminant removal. Sieve trays are also less prone to plugging than packed
towers and can effectively remove particulate down to 5 microns in size.
Sieve Tray Scrubber Features:
Capacities from 500
to 60,000 ACFM.
Simultaneous removal
of gases and large particulate.
Low fouling design
reduces maintenance.
Low water usage
compared with conventional packed scrubber.
No recycle pump
required. Unit operates with once-though water.
