dear all,

I'm currently designing particulate matter(PM) and gas removal system for fluidized gasification plant. It's been decided that we will use wet scrubber such as, venturi scrubber or vertical spray tower as 1st stage PM removal system prior to wet ESP.

The problem is I don't have enough detail information(such as, how to calculate pressure drop, equipment sizing, collection efficiency, etc) of how to design this scrubber. Do you have any recommended books, journals or literature that can help me?

My only reference book is 'Air Pollution Control Technology Handbook' by Karl Schnelle and Charles Brown. I'm currently looking for 'Wet Scrubbers' by Howard Hesketh and Kenneth Schiffner and so far haven't found it yet. If anybody can help...

many thanks

regards,
bernath

Dear All,

Do you have any information of how to perform Equipment Sizing calculation for Venturi Scrubbers?

I'd be very grateful for any response here. thank you

Hello bernath,

The questions that you are asking are usually left with a specialist in their field. Usually, engineering and chemistry software will help you determine these values.

You may want to perform a google search for engineering programs and decide which option is best for you.

I hope this helps,

Eugene

Hi eugene,

Well, I haven't found any free software for this equipment. So I am trying my luck by using sizing method of venturi meter. Hope it works. he3x

thanks
