Our patented EDV Wet Gas Scrubbing Technology can achieve extremely high levels of control on a number of pollutants, including acid gases, fine particulates and heavy metals. Air Sys Technologies Corporation can supply systems for difficult pollution control problems.
Longer operating campaigns and little regulatory tolerance for emissions excursions mean today's petroleum refining processes demand more than traditional emission control technologies can deliver. BELCO's EDV Wet Scrubbing technologies bring well proven refinery performance to every application. In widespread use for controlling FCCU emissions during multiple year operating campaigns, EDV Wet Scrubbing systems operate without outage requirements or emission excursions. EDV Wet Scrubbing systems are in use worldwide controlling flue gas particulate and SO2 emissions from FCCUs, incinerators, fired heaters, boilers, and other industrial applications.

Wet Industrial Scrubbers

Wet scrubbers are one of the most versatile and cost effective pollution control technologies. In fact, wet scrubbing processes generally are capable of removing more than 99% of air particulate matter and capturing aerosols less than 3 µm.

The technique involves passing contaminated gas through a liquid designed to remove pollutants. Liquids may be positive or negatively charged and differ in chemical composition to ensure binding and removal of the contaminants being expelled.

Surface area of the liquid has a significant impact on the overall effectiveness of wet scrubbers. The degree to which liquid is mixed with the incoming gas stream can also impact its operation. Because of high moisture levels, wet scrubbers often produce waste water and highly visible clouds of steam discharge from chimneys, which may or may not require additional waste removal measures depending on the application.
