WET SCRUBBERS

Bionomics offers the most complete and comprehensive line of innovative wet scrubbers to solve practically all gaseous, solid/liquid particulate, odor and product recovery requirements. 

Depending on the type of gas contaminant whether it be a solid, liquid, odor or recovery a variety of collection mechanisms and scrubbing liquid types are used. 

For gaseous contaminants, mass transfer is the mechanism that absorbs the gas into a liquid through creation of liquid films or droplets. Large surface area packing media, trays, fluidized beds and hydraulic or shear atomization techniques are mostly used to create the films and droplets necessary for mass transfer to occur. A chemical reagent scrubbing liquid is incorporated in many cases to enhance removal of contaminants by producing a stable salt by-product. Each type of device mentioned above can be provided by Bionomic Industries including several patented advanced technologies. 

The predominant mechanism used for particulate collection is impaction between the particle contained in the gas stream and liquid droplets. The liquid droplet encapsulates the particle into a larger size so both can be removed from the cleaned gas stream either centrifugally or by means of mist eliminator elements. The smaller the size of the particle the smaller the size of the droplet needed to collect the particle. Normally a droplet no larger than 10 times the size of the particle must be used. The smaller the droplet the more energy it takes to create it either hydraulically or through gas shear effects. For hot gas streams, Bionomic has perfected a method to condense water vapor onto the particle to achieve a larger size agglomerated mass to increase removal efficiency at reduced energy cost. Hydrophobic particles are also hard to scrub and Bionomic perfected chemical additions to the scrubbing liquid to overcome the problem.
