Scrubbers spray, self-induced

The principal advantage of self-induced spray scrubbers is the efim-ination of a pump for recirculation of the scrubbing liquid. However, the designs for high-energy service are somewhat more complex and less flexible than those for venturi scrubbers.

This type of technology is a part of the group of air pollution controls collectively referred to as "wet scrubbers. Orifice scrubbers are also known as self-induced spray scrubbers, gas-induced spray scrubbers, and entrainment scrubbers. The operating principle is based on the removal of air pollutants by inertial and diffusional interception.

Other types of equipment used for scrubbing include plate towers, self-induced spray scrubbers, venturi scrubbers, mechanical scrubbers, and fiber-bed scrubbers. The principle of operation of all these units is, practically, similar. Their operating principles can be consulted in reference textbooks (Green and Perry, 2008).
