Spray contactors power requirements

In an actual plant good contact must be made between the large volumes of flue gas and the relatively small melt stream. However, power plant integration requirements make it important to impose as small a pressure drop as possible on the gas stream. Because of this, a spray contactor has been selected as the molten salt scrubber concept. The spray contactor uses spray nozzles to break up the melt into small droplets for good gas-liquid contact and a very efficient mist eliminator to prevent the gas stream from carrying melt mist out of the scrubber.
