Venturis for Process, Emergency Gas Scrubbing

BIONOMIC INDUSTRIES reported its Series 6500 jet venturi scrubber offers major improvements in operating performance and reliability over standard ejector, packed, tray and other scrubber designs, whether the application calls for scrubbing high concentration gaseous contaminants, encountering a large variation in gas volume, or when particulate must also be removed.

One feature of the Bionomic Series 6500 that sets it apart from other ejector venturi scrubbers is availability of a proprietary multi -spray zone staging configuration that gives up to a 50% boost in collection efficiency performance.

The scrubber design uses high-velocity spray and scrubbing liquid flow to achieve simultaneous removal of gaseous contaminants and particulate down to 0.75-micron. With its high scrubbing liquid-to-gas ratio, the developer said the Series 6500 is “the ideal design for rapidly reducing the temperature of high exothermic reactive gases, or to condense steam.”

Designed to provide “near infinite” turndown capability, the Series 6500 creates its own draft to eliminate the need for a fan in most cases – simplifying the system and related costs. Depending on the application and needed removal efficiency the Series 6500 is offered as a standalone device, with the addition of the proprietary multi-spray zone staging addition, or as a final polishing packed tower -- all complimented by a full range of mist eliminator and sump tank capacities.

Achievable removal efficiencies are over 99.9% and gas capacity sizes from 5 through 60,000 acfm are standard. All Series 6500 configurations are also available in a pre-engineered ScrubPac^™ skid-mounted packaged scrubber system arrangement to meet the project and application requirements fully.
