Packed Bed Scrubber

Application Overview

An exhaust gas scrubber, or packed bed scrubber, removes gaseous contaminants from airstreams and may transfer the converted steam for further use in various applications. The exhaust gas is bottom-fed into the scrubbing unit and then travels upwards through the packing material while a scrubbing liquid irrigates downwards from the top of the unit.

The liquid scrubber removes contaminants by absorbing and/or reacting with the contaminants. The clean gas is vented, typically to the atmosphere. Level measurement and point level detection of the liquid is required to ensure quality parameters are met and for efficient operation.
