Ionizing Wet Scrubber - IWS

The Ionizing Wet Scrubber or "IWS"" is a patented Ceilcote design developed for simultaneous removal of gases and particulate with opacity reduction. The unit combines the particle removal capabilities of an electrostatic precipitator with the effective gas removal of a crossflow scrubber in a compact, modular design. Contaminated gases pass through a horizontal charging section prior to entering a packed section containing Tellerette? Packing. The particulate is then charged and collected on both the ionizer plates and the packing via common electrostatic principles and "image force" attraction. Gases are also absorbed and neutralized in the packed section. The crossflow configuration allows the use of multiple stages where very high efficiency of submicron particulate is required. The IWS can meet the most stringent MACT requirements for removal of particulate and heavy metals and has been tested to outlet loadings below 0.001 gr/DSCF. The IWS can be easily retrofitted to existing equipment trains to meet new regulatory requirements. Pilot Testing Equipment is also available for new applications. Ionizing Wet Scrubber (IWS") Features:Capacities from 1,000 to 50,000 ACFM (with staging). Collects particulate of almost any type and size regardless of composition or resistivity. Proven performance to less than < 0.001 gr/DSCF and "Zero Opacity" High turndown capability with efficiency improving as gas flow decreases. Low energy consumption with typical pressure drops at 0.5 to 1.5 inches WC per stage. Simultaneous gas absorption and neutralization. Modular design allows for future expansion to meet changing process or regulatory requirements. Corrosion resistant construction.
