The scrubber uses a liquid, usually water or a water-based solution, to create a spray of fine droplets that are introduced into the Venturi throat.
The liquid droplets capture and absorb the particulate matter through impaction, interception, and diffusion mechanisms. The pollutants become entrained or absorbed by the liquid.
The cleaned gas stream exits the scrubber through an outlet, while the captured particulate matter and liquid form a slurry at the bottom of the scrubber.
The slurry is then separated, and the liquid can be recycled or treated, while the captured particulate matter is disposed of or further processed if necessary.
Venturi scrubbers are commonly used in various industries, including power plants, metal refining, chemical production, and incineration facilities, where emissions need to be controlled.
