A gas inlet system for a wet gas scrubber includes a weir configured to deliver liquid to a scrubbing passage to wet the interior surface of the scrubbing vessel during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir include a weir duct and a weir trough extending at least partially around the weir duct to receive and at least partially fill with liquid during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir trough has an upper trough outlet in liquid communication with the upper weir duct inlet to deliver liquid from the weir trough into the upper weir duct inlet during operation of the gas inlet system. The weir trough also has a lower trough outlet below the upper trough outlet. The lower trough outlet is in liquid communication with the scrubbing passage to deliver liquid from the weir trough toward the scrubbing passage during operation of the gas inlet system.

System and methods for solder flux removal from a gas stream is disclosed. In one aspect, the system includes: a scrubber chamber having a gas inlet and a gas outlet through which the gas stream is introduced into and withdrawn from the scrubber chamber; at least one rinse agent delivery mechanism for introducing a rinse agent into the scrubber chamber for contact with the gas stream, the rinse agent being at a temperature for condensing a first portion of the flux from the gas stream; a condenser portion of the scrubber chamber containing the rinse agent for receiving the gas stream, the rinse agent being at a temperature for condensing a second portion of the flux in the gas stream; and a condensed flux removal apparatus adapted for removal from the scrubber chamber of at least a portion of the rinse agent and the flux which has condensed.

An air pollution control unit is configured to bring particle-containing gas and washing liquid into contact with each other to collect particles in the particle-containing gas. The air pollution control unit includes a gas washing column having a gas cleaning section in which the particle-containing gas and the washing liquid are brought into co-current contact with each other, a gas cooling column disposed downstream of the gas washing column along the gas flow and having a gas cooling section in which the particle-containing gas that has been cleaned (cleaned gas) and cooling liquid are brought into countercurrent contact with each other, and a gas communication path.

The present invention provides an air purifying apparatus that can continuously discharge sludge separated from suctioned contaminated air from a dust collecting apparatus to the outside, thereby improving convenience of use and air purifying performance, and can mix contaminated air with water, eliminate the sludge and contaminants in the air, and allow the eliminated sludge and contaminants to pass through a photocatalytic purifying unit and purify air using a photocatalytic reaction, thereby improving air purifying performance.

The invention relates to a demister (1) configured for installation to a wet-type gas scrubber (2). The wet-type gas scrubber (2) comprises a wet-scrubbing phase (3) and a liquid separation phase (4). The liquid separation phase (4) includes a liquid collecting tank (5) and a cyclonic droplet separation tower (6) attached on the liquid collecting tank for receiving a gas stream therefrom. The demister (1) comprises a mist eliminator unit (A) for removal of liquid droplets in a gas stream. The invention also relates to a method of modifying an existing wet-type gas scrubber (2) by including the demister (1). The invention further relates to a wet-type gas scrubber (2) comprising the demister (1). The demister (1) is a separate integral unit adapted to be removably attachable between the liquid collecting tank (5) and the cyclonic droplet separation tower (6).

The invention relates to a device for absorbing organic constituents in ambient air formed by a cooking appliance. The device comprises a first reservoir (10) containing a first liquid (12) comprising a lipophilic solution. The first reservoir comprises an air inlet (14) and an air outlet (16), the outlet communicating with a space (18) over the liquid. The device also comprises a system (20) for pumping the ambient air to the first reservoir through the inlet. The device also comprises a first system (24,26) to bubble the pumped ambient air in the first liquid (12), to generate an output air stream exiting the first reservoir via the outlet (16). The lipophilic solution (12) comprises a plant oil. This invention provides a low cost and safe air filtering device which is effective in removing organic matter such as cooking fumes.

A device, such as a wet scrubber for cleaning a stream of gas by removing gaseous, liquid and solid impurities, has a gas inlet and a gas outlet. At the gas inlet there is a first structured packing. A spray-scrubber area with atomizing nozzles is provided above the first structured packing. A first demister is provided for separating larger drops above the spray-scrubber area. A woven fabric is above the first demister, and spray nozzles are arranged around this woven fabric to spray washing liquid in the direction of the gas stream onto the surface of the woven fabric. A final demister is located above the woven fabric and has a demister rinsing apparatus. The device may be used to dispose of industrial waste gases encountered in the semiconductor industry, particularly for the disposal of waste gases stemming from CVD processes in microelectronics production.

A wet scrubber can be used to capture dust particulates from a bulk powder conveyed into a mixing system. The mixing system can be used to form a treatment fluid for use in an oil and gas operation, such as a cement slurry. The wet scrubber includes a first section having two sets of baffles that create a first and second stage. Air and the dust particulates flow into and through the baffles of the first stage and turbulently mixed with water in the wet scrubber to capture the dust particulates. The air and any remaining dust particulates then flow into and through the baffles of the second stage and turbulently mixed with the water. One or two additional sections, each having baffles, can be included to accommodate varying air flows into the scrubber. The baffles in the various sections can be lower in the water than other sections.
