Wet Scrubber Description

The "TORNADO-SP” wet scrubber with vertically positioned column mass-exchanging with structured packing inside (netted filter, gridded packing, sponge packing, etc.) and an automatic irrigation system. The structured packing takes up less space in the column, so the wet scrubber turns out to be more compact. The lowest aerodynamic resistance out of all the scrubbers. Increased cleaning efficiency. Due to the more complex design and higher efficiency, the “TORNADO-SP” costs more.
It is designed for wet dust cleaning of dust, smoke, acids, alkalis, and other mixtures.
We supply them both as packages and separate parts of the “TORNADO-SP” complex.

Straightforward maintenance and operation

The wet scrubber’s design is done is such a way that maintenance via hatches and doors takes a minimal amount of time

Produced from different types of steel and plastic

We select the material depending on the chemical contents of the gas and the gas’ temperature. Stainless steel or carbon steel. Polypropylene plastic, polyethylene, PVDF, etc.

Improved Design for Customized Tasks From the Client

Optional unconventional design

The design, size, and productivity level can be modified depending on the client's wishes. It comes with a broad selection of additional package elements.

Modular Design is Our Main Area of Expertise

Increase efficiency by way of adding an additional filter module.

Large-node, bolt-mounted assembly is performed based on instructions like when assembling furniture. No welding or complex manipulations necessary.

Thanks to the modular design, delivering the filter doesn't require any special transportation and takes less time.

Quick efficiency modernization

Quick and easy installation

Quick and easy transportation

Smart Design: High Quality, Efficient Air Cleaning

Low aerodynamic resistance

The well-thought-out design of the filter facilitates the passage of a large air flow to be cleaned.

Dust load of up to 3 ppm

To increase the dust load, a cyclone will have to be placed in front of the equipment.

Gas load of up to 0.5 ppm

There can optionally be more, but that will require size to be increased.

High tolerance of fluctuating loads

Stability in maintaining a high level of cleaning, efficiency, and temperature variations over the course of the wet scrubber's operation.

Minimal waste substances

The air cleaning process creates practically no waste. It doesn't get stopped up with a variety of substances. Furthermore, there is almost no water entrainment.

Fundamental Distinctions From Other Models

-1-

Structured packing are used

-2-

Fewer packings are required than in “TORNADO RP” with random packing to provide for the same efficiency.

-3-

The scrubber has lower aerodynamic resistance and thus it requires a fan with lower pressure. The ability to save on fan power and thus its power consumption.

-4-

Structured packing gets less stopped up with dust and it doesn't need to be cleaned and maintained as often.

Spheres of Use

QUICK SELECTION BY SECTOR

Substances Captured by the Gas Scrubber

Wet scrubber captures various dusts 0.1 µm in size or larger. The wet scrubber is highly effective in capturing various types of dust, including but not limited to wood dust, metal dust, graphite dust, concrete dust, aluminum dust, and more.
In order to capture smaller elements, we recommend various supplements, such as caustic soda etc. The supplements are selected on a case-by case basis depending on the air and gas mixture in the client's operation environment.

We recommend studying the article: Comprehensive Guide to NaOH Scrubbing Systems.

The Working Principle of Tornado Scrubber

The “TORNADO-SP” wet scrubber has a layer of packings, which are located in support distribution grids. The packings have a branched surface which creates a contact phases area that gas passes through and at the same time they are irrigated by water or another solution. During operation, the “TORNADO-SP” packing is in the form of a dense layer. structured packing can be used as a packing (netted filter, gridded packing, sponge packing, etc.).

Contaminated gas enters the entry chamber. Then, following up to meet the fresh washing liquid flow, the gas-liquid emulsion subsequently passes through an fixed-bed layer where connection of the gas phase component occurs with the liquid phase. Subsequently, gas-liquid the mixture enters the droplet eliminator volume where they are separated from each other. The liquid phase (dirty) flows into a circulation cavity (for subsequent use or removal) and the cleaned gas together with the removed liquid drops goes into the droplet eliminator. After that, the clean gas (air) exits the “TORNADO-SP” outside.

Specifications

The Specifications depend on the package elements. For each client, we create a project based on a detailed survey about the production site and the nature of the dust and contaminations.
Each filter can optionally be designed in a non-standard execution, depending on the technical task of the client.

Modifications, Size, and Charts

A modification is a filter variation with a different quantity of modules. Adding modules entails a change in general performance, filtered air volume, size, and other technical specifications .

The wet scrubber consists of one or multiple modules.

The recommended performance of a single module is no more than 30000 cfm. In order to increase the performance, it is required to install additional modules (see example in drawing below).

A filter can optionally be designed with non-typical size depending on the client’s technical task.

Scrubber Design

The "TORNADO-SP" is a packed column scrubber with a vertical design, incorporating internal supporting grids on which fixed-beds are positioned. The irrigation system consists of one or multiple stages with packings installed inside the frame.

Controlling the Wet Scrubber

Variations of control equipment package elements

Manual control: the most affordable and inexpensive method.
Semiautomatic: control on a temporary relay, preparation of a solution, and manual pouring of the solution.
Automatic, time-based control, or regulated cycle control, determined by the client. Automatic preparation and dosing of the reagent solution.

In the standard package, the wet scrubber is automated at a minimal level – with transmitter level, pump activation, and pH monitoring.
For a higher level of automation, we can offer you:
