Industrial Air Filtration, Inc. Wet Dust Scrubbers

Wet dust collectors, also known as wet scrubbers, remove particulates from the air by mixing water and air at high speed. This humidification process encapsulates larger particles in water droplets, and agglomerates smaller dust particles, increasing the bulk of the dust particles. This makes collection of the dust particulate easier. The cleaned air passes usually passes through a demisting filter to remove water vapor from the air. The solid materials taken from the air settle at the bottom of the tank and are removed by various methods. Wet scrubbers are particularly effective for removing combustible metal dust through wet collection.
