Patent attributes
A wet scrubber apparatus has a housing with access doors and guides that allow for the installation of self-contained baffle modules. Selected baffle modules can to be inserted, exchanged, removed or left blank (no baffles) within the wet scrubber housing, depending on the desired process. The wet scrubber allows for variable performance and feature-enhancing for a target efficiency and effectiveness. The wet scrubber can incorporate a pump and pipe manifold “fluidizer” design that can spray water or fluid up onto the modules during operation of the wet scrubber to keep collected material off the baffles. Water can be sprayed throughout the modules onto the baffles during operation, or when the scrubber is offline, isolated from the gas to be scrubbed, during a cleaning operation. This water or fluid can come from an outside source or can be piped and valved to recirculate existing scrub water or fluid.
